The only Stephen King book I started but never finished was Bag of Bones. I don't know if I just had too much else going on but it just seemed a lot slower than most of his books and I just wasn't really into it. I'm surprised at all the King hate though I've almost always been entertained by him.

ATTN: People who are planning to read the short story collection Night Shift. Do NOT read "The Woman in the Room". It is 100% depressing. There is nothing funny, cool, scary, or exciting involved. It is a tragically realistic story about a guy and his extremely ill mother. Most of Night Shift is pretty boss, though.

Woah settle down there, how about you just make sure you are not first in line. No need to get drastic. I just started re-reading the whole series last night, loving it so far. I originally read the series from 6th-9th grade (I'm 23 now), so it is pretty much like new. Not only is that a long time but I was probably a little too young to appreciate all the themes/awesomeness the first time around.

crankdatbatman posted:I started Night Shift this past week, and--after thinking I'd just read one or two stories before moving on to something else--I think I'm going to read the whole thing. Pound for pound, which short story collections of King are the best? Which are the worst? I feel Night Shift is one of his better one's, but I have no real evidence to back this up outside of my gut feeling. I hope I'm not too late. Don't read "The Woman in the Room". Despite the intriguing title, it is just an absolutely tragic and realistic story about a man and his dying mother. I haven't read everything in Night Shift but that was the only one I didn't enjoy so far. Edit: Seriously don't read it, it depressed me at the time and I'm sad just thinking about it now.

crankdatbatman posted:I haven't read it yet, but I'm the type who has to read everything in a book when I get into it; so pray for me, I'm going in. Alright but don't blame me when it literally causes you to lapse into depression. "The Last Rung on the Ladder" was pretty cool/suspenseful for most of the story, then has a suddenly depressing ending. Enjoy that one too!
