Oops, I was scrolling /lit/ bottom up and I didn't see the thread. I just hate King's On Writing. Still, give Sir QC a read - you won't regret it.

The Jaunt wasn't a space opera, that's stretching the definition of space opera to include anything science fiction.

How's 22/11/63? I have that in my wishlist and I was planning on reading it as soon as I'm finished with what in currently reading.

I liked It, The Stand and Misery.

>>10049300
I really liked it, though I haven't read much of King.
It's got an incredibly endearing comfy atmosphere and not just captures the mood of an era but really let's you live it.

It's definitely in my top 5 favorites and I've read them all.

Stephen king is shit

Religion.

>>10049325

Beachworld isn't space opera either. Just because it takes place in space doesn't make it a space opera. Beachworld was, if I remember correctly, about two explorers stranded on a desert planet who are struggling against their environment to survive, while space opera typically centers around the exploits of a crew aboard a spacefaring vessel as they explore a galaxy, fight interstellar wars, or whatever the plot is in that particular series.

Semi-prime Numbers (integers that are the product of two primes).

Which would you say is his best novel after the 00s? I've only read Cell but I found it mediocare, I've got Lisey's Story, Under the Dome and his time travel JFK book somewhere in my room but I just can't be motivated to read them. I ATTEMPTED Duma Key but I found it too boring.

>>10050262
Cell would have benefited more from a little fleshing out. In retrospect, the manga "I Am A Hero" took the core concept of Cell which was itself a ripoff of 28 Days Later and did it much better. King can't into zombies, apparently.

Under the Dome is closest to his older works from what you've listed, though I haven't read 11/22/63 yet. UtD has the small town drama with secrets, the paranormal catalyst, and quite a few senseless edgy deaths, so if that's what you like about King then that's the way to go.

Mr. Mercedes and the sequel are also serviceable detective novels. Nothing mindblowing or memorable but good to kill some time in the way that lesser mystery serials can be.

Dark Tower as a series is worth it as well if only because it's his so-called magnum opus.

Everything else with, again, the possible exception of 11/22/63 is kinda meh.

>>10050306

I've already read Dark Tower but I'll give Under the Dome a read and I've already read the first ten or so volumes of I Am a Hero before it got licensed in my country but I've been meaning to get the omnibus editions and if anything it's more of a rip off of Robert Kirkman's idea for what The Walking Dead would've originally been about. I agree about Cell, I would've loved for him to have explained more about the origin of the cell phone plague and where it came from and stuff.

>>10046912
Topic he hasn't written about? the beneficial and negative effects consuming sports drinks has on performance in cycling.

N and the dark tower in Lud where they try to solve Blaine's riddle to escape the city.

>>10050262
I like 11/22/63, Under the Dome, and the Mercedes Trilogy in that order.

>>10050606
Nah. He did write a story called Stationary Bike where a fat guy rides one to get healthy... Spooky stuff happens.

>>10050816
How many times we gonna go over this? IT.
I will tell you one worse child fuck scene though: in his story the Library Policeman, King goes into graphic detail about a little boy getting raped outside a public library. "A rod of hot iron..." Still makes my skin crawl in disgust. More kiddies get diddled in Doleres Clairborne, Gerald's Game, and Doctor Sleep FYI.

Sister fisting. And Mr. McSisterfister

>>10049300

11/22/63 is the only King book I've read. It convinced me that was enough. That copypasta about him being Harry Potter for adults turned out a little too true for my tastes. And the ending, which is considered one of his better ones apparently, is so rubbish I can't imagine what his bad endings are like.

At least we got a waifu out of it though.

>One day the old guy asks him to come by
>Old guy has aged several years overnight and is dying of cancer
>He informs the MC that there's a wormhole in the back of his diner that leads to 1958
>He's been using it to procure cheap supplies for his diner
>Lately however he's been trying to prevent JFK from being assassinated
>Unfortunately he got cancer during this mission and was forced to abort
>So now he's passing it off to the MC

And things go on from there. It's pretty comfy.
