This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while. Thanks in advance

EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much

    THANK YOU! The six year long cliff-hanger to Wizard and Glass was enough for me to stop reading his books altogether.

    Movies made from King books are usually classics, though, as long as King himself is not part of the production process. His remake of The Shining was a stream of hot vomit to the face. But Kubrik’s version is a masterpiece.
