"Oh, so you've grown emotionally attached to this character and feel genuine concern for his current predicament? You think he's going to get out alive? Nope! *explosion* And guess what? There's still 20 more chapters to read!"

was really big into king for a while, but he was never exactly what I'd call a "deep" novelist

Make sure you read the revised edition, or your mind will melt in boredom. Also, if you get bored anyway, trudge on /lit/erary gentleman, as you won't regret it by the time you get to The Drawing of the Three!

I have never read Stephen King.

Which is better: Fire Starter or The Stand?

>> No.984259

>>984242
Wait, how do I know if it's the revised version or not?
I have a spanish edition (I don't think I need to explain why), so I wouldn't know. It's thinner than most of his books though.

Stephen King's a fucking troll and kills off characters expectantly, and sometimes trolls you so hard he'll even tell you it's going to happen, like, 5 chapters before it does, but I still love the man enough to continue reading his stuff.

It should tell you on the book that it's the special revised edition, which was first published in 2003 if you still have doubts.

>> No.984315

>>984279
Well, it says that it was first published in 2008 and this edition is from this year, so it's probably the revised edition you're talking about.

All it has in the back is a small review of Damon Lindelof... WTF.

Err...The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger? Yours should be revised if it's from 2008...but whaa?

I know, kind of a retarded edition if you ask me. And delayed as fuck too, but I guess that's normal with translations.

Gunslinger sucks no matter how you spin it.

Drawing of the Three I begrudgingly started after finishing it and got my mind blown away.

Now sudden-death ruffs is probably my favorite capcha

Everything before Cell, with the exception of the Dark Tower series.

The Stand (Uncut)
There was nothing else that interested me at that moment at the library, so I took this HUGE and HEAVY book and got literally glued to it (fate determined that I should come across it when media had scared half the world with the Swine Flu stuff)
It was fucking awesome, I didn't mind the end that much.

Then I read (in no particular order)
*Dreamscapes&Nightmares (short stories)
*The Dark Tower series (see pic)
*The Dead Zone.

Somehow I got used to the "enjoy the ride, don't expect a nice, wrapped with a ribbon, as thrilling as the first 3/4 of the text ending"
