Stephen King Examiner Collection

50th article

*Originally published on 8/14/09



For this "landmark" article, I thought I'd do something a bit different.

Believe it or not, I don't own every Stephen King book, and I haven't read every book the man has written.  I'm almost certain that I'm going to get some flak for saying it because I'm the King examiner and it's unacceptable, but hey if nothing else you can't say I've been dishonest with you.  It's true I've been a King fan since elementary school, and I do own a vast majority of his books, but there are still a few titles that elude me.

You may have been curious, or maybe you haven't, about what books are in my library and I thought I would share it with you today.  I apologize if it seems self indulgent, and I can't really argue against it, but I prefer to think of it as examining the examiner.  With that said, let's dig into my Stephen King collection.

Insomnia: Listened to most of it.  For some reason the tape strips always got tangled up in the player.  I was able to get most out with little problem, but two of the tapes at the end actually ended up snapping in two so I couldn't finish it
Blaze
Salem's Lot
Lisey's Story: Needs to be listened to
Duma Key: Needs to be listened to


By the time I finish my bibliography series (Rage will be coming soon I promise) I plan to have read (and mayhap own) every book in the King library.
