The Stephen King Project

I will be working my way through Stephen King’s bibliography and recording my thoughts as I go. Why Stephen King? Because he’s one of favorite, prolific contemporary writers. Once I find a writer I enjoy, I like to read all of their published works – I consider it a personal challenge. I’ve done it with Richard Russo, Jeffrey Eugenides, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, John Sandford, Judy Blume, etc. Stephen King is certainly the most challenging (read: prolific and logorrheic) writer that I’ve attempted this with -especially as he is still publishing one or two books a year, but it’ll be worth it.
