The Shining | Stephen King
post image

Thank you for tagging me @TieDyeDude !

I would like to try Stephen King again. I used to have a short story collection of his, but it didn't do it for me, so I would like to read his more mainstream work.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, you'd think I'd like this book because it's very nerdy but it mostly felt like an excuse to shove as many nerdy references in a book as the author could and it lacked substance.

#wondrouswednesday

Doppoetry as for books that impacted me as a teen:

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut
Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? by Joyce Carol Oates
Anne of Green Gables by L. A. Montgomery
2w
TieDyeDude I think my first exposure to the Lottery was looking it up after seeing a episode of the Simpsons where Homer threw it in a fire when he realized it wasn't a guide for winning the lottery 🤣
I really liked Ready Player One, but that is a fair critique. I didn't think it was possible, but they shoved even more references into the movie!
I like that Stephen King has branched out in his later career. He's done procedural crime, hitman thriller, etc

2w
Doppoetry @TieDyeDude I read The Lottery in high school for English the buildup was mindblowing 😂 it isn't as impactful when you know the twist, unfortunately. I suppose that's part of why they teach it Freshman year.

I read RP1 for a book club and it was a struggle because everyone really enjoyed it and I seemed to have only seen the flaws 😅 It's a fun book but I was way too into critically analyzing it. Watched the movie w/ friends--

Doppoetry -- and we all pointed out all the references we got, it was a lot of fun.

I own some of King's more popular novels (a lot of them turned into pretty well-received films) so I am looking forward to reading him proper. It's nice seeing him continue to write for so many years, it's pretty impressive.
2w
TieDyeDude You should check out #LosersClub

They are going to #buddyread his books chronologically by publication date starting in October. I'm not great at reading along with others, but I might join in on books I haven't read yet.

Doppoetry @TieDyeDude Thank you for letting me know! I am currently swamped with Reading so perhaps that is something for the future 13h

Gwendy's Final Task | Stephen King, Richard Chizmar

Pickpick

What an over the top end to Gwendy‘s trilogy.
Lots & lots of references to other King properties (I know I missed some)
It was weird, some parts were over the top, but this series always had been pretty random since the start so it‘s fitting. It has a lot of heart.

BarkingMadRead So accurate! I love Easter eggs! Stephen King uses them a lot and I‘m always here for them! 2w

This is basically my summer stack -

This King story is a one-last-job-and-I‘m-done-forever trope, & classic King had to make it with a special twist. I loved the characters & would read another book about all of the “good” ones. I was really surprised at the intricate combat descriptions coming from author with no military background.
Today I had about 100 pages to go & had to finish it!
Great “summer” read!

Thank you @BarkingMadRead for hosting the #losersclub again!

BarkingMadRead I thought the same about the military, he must have done an insane amount of research! 4w

Welcome to the #LosersClub open discussion for #BillySummers
 Please be mindful of spoilers. We have new readers to King who haven‘t read all of his books. When referencing his other work, please keep this in mind for our new-to-King friends. Don‘t forget to tag each other in the comments so your friends can see your reply. Have fun!

5feet.of.fury SK books are so crazy because so many start one way & end another. While he was putting together his plan and all the disguises to do The Last Job, I was still hoping there would be a way that he could just stay in the neighborhood & really be a writer. But of course, we have to go do something completely different. But I liked Alice & that 2nd arc too. 4w
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury that ending 😳 I didn‘t see that coming. I was really hoping for a HEA for everyone, but it was a great ending! I wish SK wasn‘t so political in his books, but it‘s not a deal breaker so I guess I‘m putting up with it 🤣 4w

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead he always has to throw in something against 🍊 since their twitter feud. 😂 I dont mind a political take in general but some of it seems thrown in for no reason other than being petty 😂 4w
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury yes exactly! I get politics being mentioned, but he gets really hateful 🤣 it gives me Springsteen vibes every time 🤣 Bruce loves to make political speeches at award ceremonies 🤣 4w
TieDyeDude I loved the idea of his “dumb“ self, sitting there with his mouth a little slack, while thinking about literature and how to avoid dying 😅
@5feet.of.fury 🍊 🤣
4w
BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude yes! And they all fell for it, which is amazing! 4w
PaperbackPirate @TieDyeDude Lol I loved that too. And also that he wasn‘t going to give up reading books to look dumb, just choose “dumber” books. 😂 4w
PaperbackPirate @5feet.of.fury I had the same hopes and dreams, even though I‘ve read enough King to know better by now. 😊 4w
PaperbackPirate I also loved The Overlook Hotel‘s cameo appearance! And the scary topiary animals are back! I was waiting for him to go back to the cabin after throwing the painting into the canyon to find it hanging up again. 4w
BarkingMadRead @PaperbackPirate those Easter eggs were making me giddy! I really wanted a last freaky incident with that painting! 4w
Karkar @TieDyeDude I loved that part too. 3w
