I found this on Cerebral Girl In A Redneck World & just couldn't resist playing along.
Book Geek 2.0 is hosting this challenge. She is a recent addition to the Constant Reader club.
The object of this perpetual challenge is to read EVERY SINGLE book by Stephen King or his pseudonym, Richard Bachman. A complete list can be found here.
* It's not Required to reread books you've already read
* Watch the movies in addition, but not in place of, if you want
* Review the books, if it floats your boat

& I'm SO NOT listing the unfinished ones.
So. 20 unread Stephen King works, 61 read. (I think, I may have miscounted) And of the 20 unread, there are 13 I have either A) No intention of ever reading. Or B) Will probably never read because they are limited editions.
I own quite a few of these books & have seen every single Stephen King movie ever made up until today. Yup, I'm a fan.

I went thru a HUGE Steven King faze in high school and college. I think I'm with you some I have no interest in reading. It's been a long time, but I use to love his writing style.
I used to Love Stephen King too, I can't get back into it though. I've tried. The only books I have an interest in reading again are the Dark Tower books and probably Christine :)
