The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years - if it ever did end - began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.

  • It, by Stephen King.

Other than the very shocking gang bang scene it's a great novel.

Wait, what? Missed that one, should probably re-read.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

not worth reading for that one, friend

Between, um, Beverly and all the boys.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

  • The Gunslinger

Came here to post this. Just re-reading the books, finished Drawing yesterday. I'm already so in love with the characters again. Will, once more, be heartbroken by Wizard & Glass. Despite all the shortcomings of the final books, this is just the best King ever wrote. (And I would really love to read the versions of 5, 6 and 7 from the parallel reality where King didn't have the accident. But who knows, maybe he'd never finished the story without it.)

Yeah, King's endings tend to be a little messy and narratively unsatisfying sometimes. Gunslinger is easily my favorite of the series and just about every other thing he's written. On my last read through the story, I started with my original copy of The Gunslinger, then read through the rest of the series (reading the disconnected but related stories just before the final book), and finished with the revised edition of The Gunslinger.
