Love your vintage paperbacks. Long ago in 1997 when I read my first King novel (The Stand) I instantly became a fan and struggled with the question of what order to read his books in. I decided to go semi-chronologically and read most of his early books first, but also jumping ahead at times to get a sample of his books in other eras.
I'm currently doing the chronological re-read, and I'm up to Christine, one of my favourites, but soon I have to do the Talisman which I have not yet read 😬
Hey, you might love The Talisman - millions of Constant Readers do! It just didn’t click for me. Christine is super fun though - enjoy having another ride in that terrifying car!
I would you do a video where you put the books in Stephen King timeline, like what story is the earliest story versus what you did here which was release date.
I've always wanted to see a reading in TIMELINE order. Like all the books you could get the dates/years of and just put it in a line from beginning to end. For example starting with the Jerusalem lot and ending in the jaunt or one of the bachman books that are in the future. I hope that makes sense lol.
I heard that King didnt make connections between his books until the Dead Zone when Carrie the movie is mentioned. Carrie takes place in Chamberlain and Chamberlain is mentioned in Salem's Lot. So does Salem's Lot take place before the events of Carrie?
Well, the Carrie reference in the Dead Zone is mentioning the Carrie movie. And Carrie in set in 79, I think, whereas the Lot is set in 75. Chamberlain is part of King’s Maine - think it also gets a mention in the Body - but Carrie itself doesn’t really seem to figure in his wider multiverse
Given that I missed it off this video - oops! - you won’t be surprised to know I wasn’t its biggest fan! A good idea, but the execution I found to be flat
@@DaveReadsKing aw dang that sucks. I'm reading it right now, and it reads beautifully. Like an essay on the character more than a story. Good day, Dave!
@cassiemainella6515 AHA! That makes more sense 😂 so UR is collected in the Bazaar of Bad Dreams - a book I really like and that I think is kind of slept on by King fans
❤️❤️❤️today I picked up the dark half and nightmares and dreamscapes looking forward to reading them
Excellent!
wow your stephen king book collection is insane! i love it
Thank you! I’m planning a full shelf tour soon so you can see the whole lot!

Brilliant video and idea. Well done.
Thanks!
Great stuffz, currently watching the movies in order.
Movies in order of their release or in order of their original book release??
I’m doing the for my coverage of them on this channel! Where are you up to?
I'm doing them in order of movie/adaptation release date, currently at thinner.
@eswarrior nice! Thinner was a lot of fun…and a great King cameo too!
Dave makes an almost hour long video giving short introductions to a bunch of books I have already read, you say? I'll make some popcorn.

I'd love to see a biographic movie on Stephen King's life
Same!

Oh wow, that would be something! I’ll put it on my list of ideas!

Makes total sense and sounds like one hell of a project! Leave it with me!
@@DaveReadsKing He responded!!
@SkylerDomnitz-xt8nu of course! I get round to all of them eventually 😊
You should do a scene of the most out of nowhere scenes in Stephen king books.
Nice!
I arranged all my Stephen king books in chronological order but I’ve done that with my cds and dvds
All of my physical media is alphabetical by artist then chronological 👍

Wait, did you forget roadwork? I’ve got a terrible short-term memory so I could be wrong.
You know, I think you’re right! FFS 😂😂
More Holly, More Better!
Well to agree to disagree there 😂
What did you think of roadwork?

Put what in one of his books?
@@DaveReadsKing stupid auto correct.... The story UR... I remember it being my first ebook I bought
