Transcript

I absolutely love Stephen King. I've read a lot of them. Some of them I'm not crazy about, some other ones that I like by him. So here are just a four more that I absolutely consider to be best work first. First up, we have The Stand. And I think this one puts a lot of people off because it is so, so long. It is his longest book. But trust me, you will not want to put this book down. It's about the end of the world, a virus that wipes out 99% of the planet. So many crazy things happens in this book. The villain is so, so good. I still think about it. I read this book years ago. I am probably due for a reread. It's been a long time, but this book has stuck with me. I absolutely love it. I blew through it, even though it was pretty long. People like this book. And then we have an absolute classic here, folks. It is The Shining. Everyone loves the movie. This book is fantastic. I did watch the movie first, I have to admit. This book is so good. It is about a family that stays at a hotel. The dad's like the caretaker of the hotel. And uh, a lot of crazy stuff ensues where he pretty much goes nuts. So go read this book. Then we have another classic. You cannot go wrong with It. If you've watched the adaptations, great, good for you. But you have to read the book. It's another long one, but you will blow through it because it jumps around from present day to, you know, like 20 whatever years ago when they were kids. And it just rips along and everything fits so, so nicely. And it is such a good book. It is so much more about a craze, clown killing people. Trust me, there's so much out of this book. You will feel so many things. Such an adventure. It's a great coming of age novel. And uh, I just highly recommend that everybody read this book. And then we have one that you've probably seen a lot about. It is 11/22/63. This book is absolutely fantastic. I read it around COVID when we were all quarantined. And I, uh, was stuck to this book. It is absolutely incredible. It's about a guy that goes back in time to help prevent the assassination of JFK. And it's about so much more than that. So I will not spoil anything, but you will be glued to this book. It has a great ending and it's overall so awesome. So awesome. So, what are some of your favorites that maybe I'll be left off here?
