Actually Reading the Book I’m Named After (And All of Stephen King’s Other Work)

Just a small update for clarification...if anyone even cares. While reading through Stephen King's work I've come to realize that there is a whole lot of them. Some are very obscure and some aren't always included in lists of his work. The list I had been using I noticed left off some that I consider to be important and I want to read as well as some things seemed to be out of order. I am now using a different list to follow that only includes novels, novellas, story collections and nonfiction. When finished with these I might go back and hunt down some limited editions and articles.  So what does this mean? I'm gonna do a little bit of backtracking. I'm currently reading Christine  as I write this and then I will go back and read ones that I missed (pun intended, it'll be funny in a minute) before continuing onward. Those being The Mist  (get it? Mist? missed? it isn't funny if I have to explain it) and The Plant  Installment 1.  Unfortunately and confusing

Before reading:  This is a collection of novellas that I know include some of King's best movies Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me. I am excited to read those because they are some of my all time favorite films and also see what other gems are in this collection. I wasn't a huge fan of his previous short story collection but I believe these are a little bit longer and more fleshed out than typical short stories. I also know that they are separated out by seasons and I think that is pretty cute. Like I did with Night Shift  I will go through and discuss each story individually and also discuss the collection as a whole. Here we go! After reading: Most of what I have to say will be said below in my reviews of each individual stories so I will try to keep this as general as I can. Overall, I really enjoyed this! I like this collection of novellas more so than I did the short stories. I also love that I got to read two great classics as well as two that I had never even heard ab
