Trying to read Stephen King again. I forced myself through The Stand a few years back, and it was a horrible experience from start to finish, so this time I'm trying Pet Sematery instead.
I’m split on King. Some of just stuff like Eyes of the Dragon I’ve read multiple times because it’s so good, others like Needful Things I DNFed quickly.
I actually have Eyes of the Dragon in my backlog, got it in 2007 (just checked my LibraryThing entry for the book). Maybe I should finally give it a try.
For a long time I confused The Stand (which I have read) with the Shining (which I haven't read), and when everyone would talk about how great the Shining is, I would respond with my opinions about The Stand, which are it was an okay book, but could've been better if it was half the length.
I recently gave him another chance and read 'Sleeping Beauties' and liked it well enough. Planning to read some of his famous work, like IT, The Shining, Pet Semetary, and see if I like those or he just isn't for me.
