After months of not picking up any books I can say that my reading slump is over? Hopefully!
A couple months back I picked up Stephen King's 'Carrie' for the second time. This time I finished It. After reading half of the book in one day then letting my reading schedule fall off this plain of existence for a couple months. But the point is I finished it!
And what do I plan to do next you ask... well I'm going to do what I always intended to do. Which is to first and foremost read all of the Stephen King books in order from original publication date. Now that I have finished 'Carrie' It is time to say goodbye to Chamberlain Maine and wonder into Jerusalem's Lot (AKA Salem's Lot). Though there will likely be a post soon dedicated to our TK Scream Queen
Just for my own record : 'Carrie' read in paperback was 245 pages
I realize that the task ahead of me is going to be a daunting one. This is mostly due to the fact that I do not own every SK book. Currently I'm at 22 which is probably less then a quarter of his whole collection. But I am also trying to hunt the books down in hard cover. which means I mostly pass up the paperbacks unless I find them for super cheap... or I like the edition. I've also realized that once I finish 'Salem's Lot' it is going to be a BITCH to hunt down 'Rage' which Stephen King deliberately took out of publication (hence print) due to real life school shootings. This means I'll be hunting through used book stores and online for it hoping to find anything under $100. I'm serious this book goes for $100's-$1000's on ebay for paperback alone! Its almost as scary as some of his monsters...almost. but we will get there when we get there
