I've only read Desperation and Misery and I'm not sure what to read next... Does anybody have any suggestions/recommendations?

I finished reading Duma Key a few days ago. I'm unsure about what to read next, though. Huh. I've read most of his books, I think. I'd really like to read Rage, though. However, it's out of print. Guess I'll finish Imajica. But that's not even by S.K. DX

You can find Rage in a copy of The Bachman Books (collection of four of them). I really recommend reading it. It's the first book I'm going to reread after finishing them all. It's what The Catcher in the Rye should have been (I absolutely ******** hate The Catcher in the Rye, don't even get me started.)

Also, for recommendations.....The Shining, The Stand, The Dark Tower Series....

For the person who read Desperation, try The Regulators. I'm sure it'll feel familiar.

Oh, and Firestarter was one I really enjoyed, for the record. Terrific paranoid sci-fi read.

Thanks for telling me! I'll know what to look for now! That gives me another idea of what to read to. I've only read Thinner by Bachman, so I should read the other Bachman books!

I've read The Shining, The Stand, and The Dark Tower Series. The DT series is my favorite. I've read part of Desperation, and part of Firestarter, but I just didn't like those as much. However, next time I'm at the library or book store, I'll definitely look for The Regulators!

Yeah I know some people say The Regulators doesn't hold a candle to its counterpart, but I thought it was pretty good. Desperation probably had more excitement, and more to do with Tak, but certain aspects of The Regulators made it really worthwhile.

Hmmm what else then... Oh! Misery and Pet Semetary were both great for chills and creepiness. Salem's Lot if you like vampires, for sure. It also ties in heavily with the Dark Tower books, particularly the last three. The Dead Zone is really good if you like paranormal powers and comas.

I just finished reading the Tommyknockers. I enjoyed it greatly. Funny and interesting, but not scary. I am constantly reading at least one SK book, usually two at once. So IT and the Shinning are lined up, or rather set side by side.

Nice wardrobe change. Perfect.

Who wants to take bets on which book he finishes first?!

Currently, I'm re-reading Pet Sematary. I read it back when I was in seventh grade in three days, and had to sleep with a lamp on. biggrin

I'm about 400 pages into The Talisman right now. It's wonderful. Lots of action, great characters, keeps me interested. Not sure what comes next. We'll just have to see.... Maybe Hearts in Atlantis? Some short fiction might do me good. Never can tell...

I just finished Duma Kay awhile ago. It was pretty good, I liked it. I ought to read Cell again, but right now I'm reading this book called 'Lover Eternal'. It's part of a book series from J.R. Ward. After I read one of the other books from the series, I'm going to read Angels & Demons, then The Da Vinci Code. I haven't figured out what I'm going to read after that, but I think it might be Gerald's Game from SK.

I have read quite a few by Stephen King. I'll list them for those who need recommendations.

My first was Desperation.
Then the Regulators (Bachman)
Cell
Dreamcatcher
Gerald's Game
Christine
Everything Eventual (consists of short stories)
Rose Madder (my personal fave)

And now I am currently reading Misery.
