Stephen King

[Akira Raine]

Anyone here a fan of Stephen King books? I know I LOVE Stephen King and all of his books.

I've read....
The Eyes of a Dragon
The Dark Half
The Shining

and I think that's it. i can't remember any others that i have read
Oh and right now i'm reading DreamCatcher. Can any of you tell me what books are good by Stephen King, like what other one's do you suggest I should read?

my mom has a whole collection of those books in the basement. I haven't read any of them though. I have seen some of the movies though.

[Akira Raine]

=O HAVEN'T READ THEM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :eek: You so HAVE to read them!! They are really good

I'm a bigger fan of movies then books. Unless it's Harry Potter, as the first two books were better then the first two movies.

Stephen King is awesome though. I loved Children Of The Corn.

[Loveless Slave]

Never liked his books. Uses too much imagery. I prefer Michael Crichton.

If you love dragons, Akira, You are gonna love books by Anne McCaffrey, The Dragonrider stats are taken and modified from her dragons and their world. I'm right now re-reading The Dragonriders of Pern, a three book triligoly. They are da bomb!!
Also Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Michael Crichton. They're about Dinosaurs that are brought to life. I have copies of both books at home.

[Stevil]

I have yet to read the Jurassic Park books. Jurassic Park (the first movie) remains to this day my favorite movie of all time.

[Akira Raine]

I love Michael Crichton too! I love the book Prey by him. Oh and Bj, that book the eyes of a dragon has absolutely NOTHING to do with a dragon. It's a secret chamber with the dragon statue in it. And Stevil, usually I like movies moer then books, but the Shinng, by stephen king is MUCH better in the book then the movie. I swear to god the movie is horrible compared to the book.

[Loveless Slave]

Agreed Prey rocks!

But, like I said I don't like reading Stephen King books. Although, the movie Shining was a bit cool, I still wouldn't read the book.

RED-RUM! That was genius lol.

[Akira Raine]

Lol, Yeah i read that book for a book report, then i had to summerize it. OMG it was sooooo long cuz that books got a long summery then I got marked down for it cuz the teacher said it was too long. I got so mad at her. I'd like to see her make a smaller summary. But yeah that was an awesome book. I liked how the nanoparticles were eating up that girl from the inside. That was cool.

[Loveless Slave]

I don't find girls / women getting hurt... "cool" lol.

It was a great story but I heard his other book, I think it's called "state of fear" wasn't as good as Prey. Either way im'a read it.

Although around the end it kinda got confusing for me.

Oh yeah and... Screw your teacher. A long summary deserves a good grade!

[Akira Raine]

I know, that's what I told her. Stupid bitch. Anyways, you may think Stephen King has too much of an imagination. Your right, he does. But that's what I love about it. I like reall imaginative things. They're intresting. I really like odd, weird things, I don't know why they intrest me but they do.

One book by Stephan King I like is Through the Eyes of the Dragon. I think you've read the same book Akira. It's about these brothers who are princes, the older one is accused of murdering his father by poison and the younger one is being played by the kings magician who is a really creepy guy who causes trouble where ever he goes. The younger brother knows the truth on who killed the king (their father) because on that night he was in this secret room looking through the eyes of his father's dragon trophy which was hanging on the wall above the fireplace.
The creepy magician comes in and offers the king a glass of poisoned wine. Now Peter, the oldest boy, has been taking his father a glass of wine every night. So the magician plays off of this habit and places the blame on the prince. It's a really good book. I don't really like his other books, they're too, imaginative, for me.

[Akira Raine]

Yeah that is the one, i didn't really feel like saying the dragon trophy over the fireplace i was too lazy lol. But taht book wasn't like about 'a dragon' it was yeah, about that. But I LOVED peter's idea to escape the jailcell with the napkins. That was so cool. But yes taht was a very good book. I dont' get why you people don't like really imaginative stuff. *shrugs* w/e. I like it so yeah!

[Blackjack87]

I thought so, I just had to make sure. If you like dragons, you should read some of the books by Anne McCaffrey. She has some really great dragon books, and I'm not lying!
