Stephen King Retires

jar of pickels, yer way off

no good horror movies?  what about christine, carrie, pet cemetary, firestarter, thinner?  those are classic horror flicks.  

what about one of the finest horror films, The shining?  another stephen king creation.


yes, he wrote shawshank redemption

Don\'t forget Misery.

I don\'t read. Too boring...

But I have read a little bit of Dean Koontz and like one Stephen King book... heh..

People like you worry me.  I think reading is one of the best forms of entertainment because you are not offered the visuals, you CREATE them.  This would make a scene all that more scarier or sad.  Good writing can hit nerves in you that will make you say, "wow".

That\'s too bad...:rolleyes:



I don\'t read, it\'s not my thing. I used to read a lot.. I used to read these weird books where animals were the characters.. I forget what the series was called.. But they were big 300+ page books for a used to be 5th grader.. I also read tons of survival books, I always wanted to survive on my own in the wilderness, and learned a lot from the 10+ survival books I read. And I read about 3 Stephen King books, and 8 Dean Koontz.

I haven\'t read a single book in 2 years. I just lost intrest.

That doesn\'t mean I read in school.... I HAVE to read books from school... But I just hate reading in my room all weekend with a cramped up neck and bloodshot eyes from reading all day..






And WTF! Don\'t I read all the time HERE!? Cry me a river Ghetto.

It sounds to me like you\'ve never read anything GOOD, ajoh432.  Maybe that\'s why you think it\'s boring.  I could understand someone being bored by Stephen King and Dean Koontz.  That may just mean that you have good taste.  You should find some better writers, and try other books.  If you say reading\'s not your thing, and reading is boring, then you\'re shutting yourself off from one of the most enjoyable activities human beings can engage in.  There are some great books out there that every human should read before they die.
