Thank you! I am looking to get into Stephen King‘s world. Any recommendations on the reading order? I would like to start from something not too scary or difficult
carrie was his debut i believe. misery is another good starter. he also has a few short stories though! you can try those out to get used to his writing. the shining is another one alot of people like to start with bc “the shine” is a common thing in his books. the dark tower series is recognized to be the center of his overall “multiverse”
Thank you! I am definitely looking forward to the Dark Tower series
no problem. i hope you enjoy whatever you end up reading <3
hey i pinned the dark tower series books in order as well as added some of the other series recognized to be important to the overall multiverse (a lot of them tend to share similar locations or reoccurring characters) hopefully this helps!
Wow thank you! Thats amazing work, I really appreciate it
