>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 16:31:02 2013 No.3754627 He wrote a story about a laundry mangle that gets up and kills people, then he made a movie about it, so I like him.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 16:31:02 2013 No.3754631 Good imagination. Entertaining writer.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 16:43:02 2013 No.3754677 >>3754656 it's not that they passed down the surviving genes, it's that the babies are able to adapt to the virus in the womb or some shit and are therefore born immune

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 16:45:02 2013 No.3754683 Pet Sematary is one of the most gripping, horrifying things I've ever read, and one of the most cutting personal meditations on death.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 16:51:02 2013 No.3754707 >>3754656 I was really disappointed by the Stand. The resolution was predictable with 150 pages to go, and the ending was way too upbeat in my opinion.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 18:26:03 2013 No.3755025 >>3754975 The rapper?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 20:02:29 2013 No.3755349 >>3754656 because that book is terrible

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 20:08:03 2013 No.3755366 i just finished 11/22/63 I absolutely hated the ending. "The past can not be changed" Fuck that! I have seen Marty Mcfly, Dr. Who and a million others do it, but steve is too good for all that .

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 20:09:03 2013 No.3755370 >>3755366 The whole book was awful. The ending was just poorly made icing on a half-baked cake.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 20:11:03 2013 No.3755377 >>3755366 But I have mixed feelings towards Stephen because the Dreamcatcher was one of my favorite books

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 20:32:04 2013 No.3755454 I think he has more weight as a writer than people think. I read Misery and thought it was marvelous, the depth of language and stylistic nuances impressed me right out of the opinion that he is just a pop writer. I'm currently working on more by him.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 21:02:03 2013 No.3755543 Christine is my guilty pleasure of his. I know it's a rather simple book and by no means holds much of the literary smarts that his other choice books have, but I really, really like the style of it...

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 21:06:03 2013 No.3755557 the dark tower series is my favorite fiction series ive ever read

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 21:13:04 2013 No.3755578 >>3755557 iktf man

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 21:16:03 2013 No.3755589 I like his old stuff. Bachman books, Night shift, The Shining... Seems to me that after his accident his writing changed in ways I didn't like. That isn't to say I think he writes bad now, I just don't enjoy them as much.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 23:17:03 2013 No.3755918 I've read about 5 or six of his, and enjoyed all of them.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 23:49:04 2013 No.3756018 When a school shooting happened Stephen King decided to stop printing Rage. So now all we have to do is reenact every single one of his stories until they're all out of print.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 13 23:57:03 2013 No.3756045 >>3756018 Welp.
