BookmarkTavern I love all the side characters in this book so much! Mr Bent, and Igor, and Mr Fusspot! I‘d read an entire book about Mr Bent. I did want more Adora Belle in this story. 3d
BookmarkTavern I do like that Moist is like “Adora Belle is 90% of my impulse control” and the rest of the city just seems to know that. 3d

julesG @BookmarkTavern Mr Bent is an interesting character indeed. 3d
julesG And they are only engaged at the moment, what happens once they are married. Will he be sedate? 3d
Balibee146 My favourite thing about the Moist Von Lipwig series is the good amount of Vetinari we get. I love the way he appropriates Mr Fusspot, yes he wants to hold on to him as the bank Chairman; but I have a sneaking suspicion he also really wanted the little doggie 😊 3d
julesG @Balibee146 Agree, more Vetinari is nice. And that's how I read it too, Vetinari was looking forward to having a doggie. 3d
kwmg40 I enjoyed this book, though not as much as Going Postal. I too find Vetinari a really interesting character, and loved meeting Mr. Fusspot. 2d

Laughing because this is the bookmark that came up in my mug, it‘s from a romance author at a book con I went to a couple years ago. Not so sure doctor romance could handle Captain Trips 🤣 #losersclub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

Bookwormjillk It was fun to revisit his earlier stories and see him start to play with some of his longer books and themes. My dad had the version with the eyeball hand on the cover when I was a kid and I always had nightmares about it. Also Children if the Corn was a sleepover favorite so yay for nostalgia. 1w
AllDebooks I enjoyed this collection. As @Bookwormjillk said, it's fun seeing the formation of his longer works. Children of the corn was so creepy. X 1w

TieDyeDude I was surprised to see him flirt with sci-fi with I Am the Doorway. He doesn't seem to play in that sandbox too often. I liked the "bad deal" stories, Quitters Inc, The Ledge, Lawnmower Man. Lawnmower, Trucks, and Mangler were pretty silly ? I found Last Rung ? maybe the most memorable. It had an aching sweetness to it, but I seem to like unrequited/unreciprocated love stories for some reason... 1w
BarkingMadRead @alldebooks children of the corn has always creeped me out! The movie is so messed up! @TieDyeDude yes! Mangler was so silly at the end 🤣 1w
Balibee146 Oh I love that edition. I didn't pick up Night Shift last month sadly but I do like it as a collection. I really enjoy King short stories 😍 1w
LoverOfLearning Just recently started reading SK! Long list of books to read 😩 1w
kwmg40 I enjoyed these stories, especially because, as @Bookwormjillk mentioned, we can see themes that King expands on in future books. Like several of you here, I too found Children of the Corn very creepy. 1w
Karkar A little late to the party. This is one of my favorite of SK‘s short story collections. So many great ones in this book! 4d

5feet.of.fury It‘s soooo long,but I‘ve wanted to read this one for a long time…. 😩 2w
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury it‘s my favorite book of all time, it‘s so epic! 2w
kwmg40 I'm not sure if, like @BarkingMadRead, I'd call this my favourite book of all time (though I can certainly appreciate readers making that argument) but it's definitely my favourite of the Stephen King books I've read. I'm looking forward to the reread. 2w
bekakins Just discovered this readalong! King is my favourite author so would love to join in! I last read the stand during Covid….. Scarrrryyyyyyyy!!! 2w
BarkingMadRead @bekakins yikes! Not the best timing! I will add you to the tag list! 2w
