So as if there wasn’t enough going on at the moment, I’ve decided to take part in the challenge/event, hosted by Wensend and Fourth Street Review, with the aim of reading as much Stephen King related stuff as possible during the month of March.
As the hosts say:
All you have to do to participate in this event is to post about at least one thing King-related. You are free to read as many King books or watch as many King movies as you want, but you can also stick with just one book (some of the books are real chunksters).
I am a huge King fan, and have been since I read Carrie when I was 15 (just as it came in paperback over here in the mid 1970s). So, given everything else on my horizon I’m going to commit to reading as many of the following as I can before the end of the month:
- a Carrie re-read – this is long overdue
- one of his most recent novels, Revival, which I gather has more than a little Lovecraft about it
- Mile 81 – an original eBook
- In the Tall Grass, another eBook, written with his son Joe Hill
That should be doable, I think š
