What is Stephen King's Favorite Stephen King Novel

[Bryan James]

The question was asked, but we cannot answer it. Go mow the grass or cook up some Hamburger Helper.

H,

We can, and we did; Lisey's Story and before that it was The Dead Zone.

And don't you think the grass mowing and hamburger helpering is just a tad condescending?

Long days and pleasant nights

I've said it before, and I'll say it again----I love you, John!

Okay, I'm back from mowing down the help, and cooking the grass with the hamburger. Now, the grass and the hamburger are no good. Thanx alot!

[Doc Wilson]

I agree with Stephen, Lisey rocks.

[QUOTE=thymeoperator;298699][QUOTE=Drawn to Ka-tet;298521]As I recall, Carrie is the manuscript that Mrs King rescued from the trash can. I think that tells volumes about how much he liked that one!

if that is true, that is amazing - it just goes to show you never know what the future has in store for you when you least expect it.

I believe this is true. It was in ON WRITING as I recall.

I don't remember a clown in the Tommyknockers nmohr1, you'll have to enlighten me i'm afraid

Some guy in The Tommyknockers is driving by Derry, and he sees Pennywise with a bunch of ballons standing at some old crossroads. The guy's like "WTF?," 'cause he has no idea who Pennywise is, but we do...except for people who read The Tommyknockers before they read It; those people were probably also wondering "WTF?"

[Jake Featherston]

Of course, how could i forget that bit, thanks nmohr for reminding me. It really does beg the question whether there will be another novel featuring Pennywise at some point in the future doesn't it?

I think we're supposed to assume that the events in The Tommyknockers occurred shortly before the events in It, and thus that Pennywise had yet to be banished to Todash, or whatnot. So probably not.

According to the book, On Writing, at least ONE of his favorites was The Stand (also a huge favorite of mine behind the Talisman). J

I haven't read Lisey's Story yet; right now I'm reading The Tommyknockers, and next is maybe Eyes of the Dragon - do many people remember that one, do you think? - then it's on to Lisey's Story. I do a kind of long-short-long-short pattern with King books, and it seems to be a pattern that works well for me.
