Can you read at least six Stephen King books this year? Sure you can. I mean, even if you're a slow reader, you could opt for Blockade Billy and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Book Chick has issued a challenge to read more Stephen King -- and she's dead serious.
.
Book Chick writes, "Welcome to The 2011 Stephen King Challenge! I love horror, and I've loved every Stephen King book I've read. Unfortunately that's not that many. I really want to read more books written by this amazing author, which is why I created this challenge. So, if like me you want to delve further into the dark imagination of Stephen King, then join me in my quest!"
.
My list (which is subject to change at my own whims)
1. The Stand
2. IT
3. Lisey's Story
4. Blockade Billy
5. Duma Key
6. The Talisman (I'm going to try this again. )

WISH LIST:
1. Dr. Sleep
2. Wind Through The Keyhold

My chosen format will be audio. Thank God for Audible! I'm only opting for six because I'm a slow reader, and I'm choosing long books. Now if Doubleday could help me out and get The Stand published in audio, all would be good.

Of course, this all leads to a simple question: Is more really better? Every year I used to take on that challenge to read the Bible in a year. I've read the whole Bible, but never in a year! I'm not sure speed reading is the right pace. But anyway, I'm ready to go!

I'm a pretty fast reader and usually read way more than 6 each year. I read the Dark Tower 7, It, The Stand, Talisman, and Black House once a year for sure. Random other SK books are thrown in too along with Harry Potter 7 and LOTR.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking part in this as well. A good excuse to re-read some King.
ReplyDeleteI'm also following the Dark Tower read-along over at floor to ceiling books. Have a look, you will probably find it interesting.

ReplyDeleteI read six books a month and am hungry for more!
