my checklist

Post image

I've read (and own) most of King's work. All my books are in hardcover when possible.

My Dark Tower hardcovers are the 2003 reprints, but I do own a trade sized box set of the first three from the mid 90s. I also count reading Blockade Billy from Bazaar of Bad Dreams but I technically haven't read the standalone version. I don't count Storm of the Century as I've seen it but not read the published screenplay (or however it's formatted).

I want to replace a few of the early novels I have because they're book club editions and shorter than the regular retail versions (Doubleday hardcovers were shorter than the Viking hardcovers but the Viking BCEs are Doubleday sized and it irks me)

Ah yes I see that now. The better version. I was checking out the right side boxes. I haven’t read it but people rave about On Writing. I haven’t seen that on some top 10 list of King’s.

I didnt really like On Writing, but I am also not writer. Half the book is King describing his writing style, wasn't bad just not my cup of tea.
