frankie Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry, I forget: was this your first time reading Misery? What did you think about it I read in the Book Activity thread that you're going to watch the movie. Have you seen it before? It would be interesting to hear how you'd compare the two! Edit: Almost forgot! I got so excited about Misery I meant to also say that I hope you have a great reading year in 2015!

Seen the film loads of times, Kathy Bates is the perfect Annie Wilkes & she thoroughly deserved her oscar for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, i'm certain i will have a good reading year this year. And Four Seasons is a brilliant book, all the stories are some of King's best work.

geordie9 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Are you going to continue with the King's this year? Happy New Year! Yes i'm continuing with all his books this year, hoping to get the rest of them read this year. I think its Tommyknockers next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes i'm continuing with all his books this year, hoping to get the rest of them read this year. I think its Tommyknockers next. Gosh, I don't even know if I've heard of that one! Do you know how many there are total? I'm contemplating an Under the Dome read this year. Other than that, just some of his shorter stuff (Riding the Bullet, Girl who Loved Tom Gordon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie9 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Tommyknockers is about a buried UFO, its not one of his best but it's still a good book. There's about 54 novels, 11 story collections. Hope you enjoy Under The Dome if you read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 No i've read Misery once before, i loved it. Seen the film loads of times, Kathy Bates is the perfect Annie Wilkes & she thoroughly deserved her oscar for it. Misery can certainly stand the re-read, I think it's one of King's finest. Well it's one of my favorites, at least And I agree, Kathy Bates was excellent in the movie! The movie's so scary and creepy, I've had the nerve to watch it only once in my adult life. Brrrr!

Nollaig Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I read Under The Dome a few years ago, and thought it was brilliant. I really enjoyed the ending too, but a lot of people did not. Hope you enjoy it if you read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i've read all King's books now except for Mr Mercedes & Revival, i think i'll just wait until i'm up to them to read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 There's about 54 novels, 11 story collections. Hope you enjoy Under The Dome if you read it. Oh dear, I knew he'd written a lot, but I've never seen the actual numbers before! I'll never catch up! I think I've read maybe 3 short story collections, and I'm currently on my first full-length novel (IT, although I've put it aside for the moment). Happy reading in 2015. Do you think you'll get to Mr Mercedes and Revival this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm glad you enjoyed the re-read. It's incredible how masterfully King takes these seemingly little things and weaves them together and then things just escalate... And BAMMMM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
