Aight, this one's a pure recommendation thread for all of you out there on Stephen King's books. I've been meaning and wanting to start reading for quite some time now, and I feel like I can, having just finished re-reading 3 texts on Physics and Chemistry (because of my interest in science) ^_^

Visited the mall yesterday and had a chance to pick up SK's works, but lay hesitant for some reason - there were so many titles ! And I'm dead sure it's not his whole list of releases. Anyway, here're some pictures I took from my cellphone;

I needed proper guidance only because each book WILL cost me a bomb and if I was reading them, why not start properly ne. Lady's gonna kill me heh cos I've asked her before too X'D but atleast now I'll remember *nurses bleeding nose from Lady's double-kick to his face*

Don't read cell.... its not very good :\

I started with the dark tower series, but that was a bad idea. You should read The Stand first.

The Stand was good. I personally loved Christine and Misery. Actually...all of them are good.

If you can find It or The Tailsman they're great firsts. from the pics go w/ Bag of Bones as it is the most complete novel in the set.

Rage was in The Bachmen Books, but Steve-o wont let that story be printed anymore. Check the copies to see if its in there. My favorite short by King.
