Hahaha the music made it even better, Timedog
That was way hotter. Daaaamn Devo.
and ya, Timedog's voice was not what I was expecting.
Expected a rougher, huskier voice, and heard a slicker, almost sexier voice instead. Not that I'm complaining.
do one with ducks

Your voice reminds me of someone from Anime.

i think timedog and devo should do a stephen king sex scene series.
maybe even get a group of gaffers to do the bizarre sex scene at the end of IT in kid voices, that way everybody can be as emotionally scarred as i was.

Believe me, I'm down for doing more sex scenes with Devo.
Devo/Timedog. Good work.
I can sort of see what King was aiming for: virginal innocent girl who can only muster a 'Sugar!' as she reaches climax. But no, terrible writing.
The best intimate passages in books are the ones where you don't think to yourself, 'oh, this is a sex scene'.

Haha, this is why I voted for you.
You guys should do the sex scene in The Stand where that one guy is ana
lly penetrated by the barrel of a loaded pistol
Man... Stephen King is weird.

Everything's Eventual, a collection of 14 short tales released in 2002
Is it still being sold? I remember it releasing in high-school and I was reading "Needful Things" (which wasn't bad, but wasn't great either) at the time so never did get into it.

The "sex scene" in Under the Dome made me quit reading the book. Sometimes it feels like the author is just making bad shit happen to fuck with me. "Hey, look at this puppy. Found cold, wet and lonely by an equally lonely child. Both are so happy to have each other. And now the dog is dead. I didn't need to kill it; I already made it obvious who the bad guys were and that they were super bad. I just fucking hate you so the dog's dead."
Not going to read it... details?
Oh, neat. There's a Kindle version. I know what I'm asking for Christmas.
Anyone here read Full Dark, No Stars? I bought it when Borders was having their going-out-of-business sale, but haven't started reading it yet.
One thing I like about King is that he sometimes leaves the dialog or behaviors of his characters really awkward. Sometimes it's unsettling and sometimes it makes the characters more human. Nobody's perfect, after all.
"Oh dear dear sugar god" is a pretty damned bad line, of course, but maybe it was partially intentional?

Likable mother is gang raped by police, trys to walk to the hospital in the morning as blood pours from her vagina. Dies on the side of the road cradling her child in her arms.

Blah - after reading The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass and then trying to read V: Wolves of the Calla, I just gave up on him. I wasn't a huge fan of his writing to begin with, but I gave The Dark Tower a chance. Books I - IV were amazing, with IV being the best book I have ever read, hands down (I never thought a sci-fi/fantasy/western romance would take that prize for me). I couldn't muscle through V, and I tried to read that book Under the Dome, but it felt too much like a Lord of the Flies sort of scenario (in a bad way, since LotF was a wonderful read).
But hey, getting nominated is pretty cool. Gratz King.

I thought book 2 was great. Other than that minor detail I agree with everything you said.

I actually haven't read any Stephen King in at least 10 years, so I'm not up to date on the titles of his latest books.
I just looked up 11/23/63 on the iTunes bookstore and it sounds like something I'd be interested in reading so I'll give it a shot.

The second book was also really solid. I really can't find any MAJOR gripes with the first four. Little things here and there, but absolutely nothing that detracted from the experience.

Really? Why? It's my favorite book ever.
I think his weakest book is IT. I remember reading it like 5 years ago and it confused the hell out of me...and the 12-year old gang bang scene was the most WTF moment I've ever read in any book.
Balzac wrote over 100 novels in 30 years or so. All of which were far superior to King's drivel, so I don't think it's impossible.

For half his career he was high on cocaine.

I think thread title should change now.
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
I remember reading one of his short stories were a little kid gets raped by a pedo outside of a library. Very detailed and fucked up. Under the Dome was great until the end. King just can't write good endings anymore.

I liked
duma key
under the dome
cell was OK but easily the weakest.
and I'm REALLY enjoying the hell out of the newest one whose title is a bitch to remember.
and look a new dark tower (dark tower 4.5)
Stephen King said:
he never could really. It was GREAT the spider followed by a bunch of 12 year old running a train on their female friend in the sewer. WTF.

The last 200 pages was the best part. Couldn't believe he pulled that shit. Incredible.

Yeah, bunch of bullshit. Luckily he still writes good characters. I have read every book of his but the newest one and that Tom Gordon book. I tried to read it, but couldn't get into it. Does anything ever happen?
