Stephen King Readers Thread

Published

So a recent thread got me thinking (which is never a good thing) It appears we have number of Stephen King Readers. I suggest we do a nursing DX for our favorite King Character!

BTW if you liked The Shining (Book not movie) you are going to love Dr. Sleep

I read Revival this summer. It was meh.

I loved nearly all his classics, though I started reading him way too young. I read The Shining for the first time when I was 11 or 12, didn't sleep for several days and I'm still anxious around clowns. I bought a pair of boots last year that I absolutely love and refer to them as my "walking man" boots.

I'll be interested to watch a remake of The Stand if Matthew McConaughey is RF.

Agreed. I think he could do the charming, attractive while scary as heck thing well.

Good, I was looking for a legit source on whether this was worth it. LOVED Mr. Mercedes. I will get Finders Keepers.

I'm reading Finders Keepers now. I loved Mr. Mercedes. I was hoping for a prequel and more on Brady! What a villain.

I'm a SK lover too! I just started a leg tattoo sleeve with The Dark Tower.

"There are other worlds than these" is the quote I'm using. A raven, the rose and a compass (my personal addition). It's just outlines right now.

Hi madwife! Did this get moved to the Blue Side?

I can't think right now but how about a nursing diagnosis for a decapitated pregnant woman lying on the sidewalk in labor and still able to do her Lamaze breathing?

(One of his short stories).

I loved the book The Shining but hated the movie. Especially Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny" . . . :sarcastic:

Okay, so we were moved to Blue. Carry on, freaks!
