IT. I was like 11/12, it was the first grown ups book I ever read, most of it went over my head but enough got through to make me fall in love with horror.
Same! I was a little older... 13 I think. Had to choose a book over 400 pages to read in 8th grade and this was my choice. Still can't believe they let me choose it.
Haha fantastic (and what a contrast to what's happening to books these days). I read it because the mini series had just premiered here (England) and my friend and I were convinced we could see Pennywise in a stained glass window of a building opposite our houses, lo and behold I found the book in the local library not much later and here we are.
That’s crap man. My son read like two million words last year. Thousand and thousands of pages of books. My daughter is 6 and is reading books about Greek mythology and retaining the knowledge. Don’t generalize.
My children are also exceptional readers but by and large children just aren't reading books as much as they used to. I've been a teacher for 17 years, I see it everyday.
I agree kids don’t read as much, on the specific way you have chosen, books. The “kids today” thing is patently false in many ways because the world they’re growing up in is so different than any generation before them.
STAND. Then it was years before I revisited anything, picked up Billy Summers in a CVS and since then I have knocked out most the classics.
Currently on Drawing of Three and Mizz Holmes…
Night Shift. I bought it specifically to read the original story after watching The Lawnmower Man movie.
Oh boy that was a confusing introduction to SK.
Woah that’s cool! Late start! My fiance started at Fairy Tale (I LIKED IT BACK OFF) and then The Institute.
How’s it going? What have you read since? Did you like the institute? Sigsby made me want to rip my hair out.
Carrie. I wasn't going for chronological order (I still don't do that), and it was the 90's so that wasn't exactly a new book. My mom was a King fan, when I was around 11 or 12 I decided I wanted to read a "grownup book," and Carrie was the shortest King book around the house. I immediately followed it up with Fire Starter, Four Past Midnight, Christine, and It.
Before that, I was a huge RL Stine fan (I'm sure he hates this comparison, but he is literally Stephen King for kids), K.A. Applegate, and Engle & Barnes. I had seen some King movies at that point (and was already mostly watching 80's horror movies).
I'm 37 now, and I've been a fan since I was like, 12. I would go far enough to say King is probably my favorite author, even if he isn't my only reading interest. Part of it is the amount of books he wrote, but also the consistent greatness regardless of what kind of story he's telling. Obviously he's known for his horror, but the sheer range this man has absolutely blows my mind.
I believe it was *From a Buick 8.* I think the monster car on the front is what compelled me to pick it up, but I fell in love with how Lovecraftian-esque King is.
I'm pretty sure it was the stand, in french (le fléau) because that was the only way that 12 year old boy i was could convince my mother to let me read Mr king. That or the long walk, again in french (marche ou crève). Either or, these were my first two for sure. Just to add for comedy effect, they were read at band camp. Lol
Firestarter, about the time the Drew Barrymore movie came out, so I have a 'movie tie-in' paperback somewhere in my stacks...need to find it for a re-read.
The Shining, my freshman year. That book really got to me…I was scared to turn my back on the bathtub for ages, and I wanted the shower curtain to be left open.
Cycle of the Werewolf I think. I saw Silver Bullet very young. It’s cause a lifelong interest to read books that have a movie counterpart. Pretty sure I went straight from this to The Stand in middle/early High School.
Tricky for me...
Which book did I read to full completion? IT. I read it in 2 weeks, as a way to prepare myself for the new IT movie.
But The Running Man was a book I was allowed to read after begging my dad and stepmon when I was 11 years old. I got about halfway through before I realized I wanted to read the OTHER books--Pet Sematary, Dolores Claiborne, The Stand--I wanted to read those!!! But alas, The Running Man it was.
As an adult, I can say that I will probably go back and re-read The Running Man.
I read a lot of his short stories when I was about 14, The Mist (title?) really stuck out to me. First full novel was IT when I was 24.
Since then I’ve read The Shining, Dr. Sleep, Misery and I’m reading Gramma and The Stand right now.
I’m flying through the Stand, it’s amazing.
The Stand. I’d seen the miniseries in the 90s and loved it. It was Christmas and my dad got the book from his brother. I read the introduction to the complete and uncut version sitting in my grandfather’s easy chair. To this day it’s the most magical experience I’ve had reading a book in my life.
Rose Madder.
I was vaguely aware of his works, mostly IT with Tim Curry, but...
My god, that was one HELL of a book to actually start reading him on. Definitely a certain evil in that book that makes you uncomfortable.
It. I was 14. Obsessed with the original mini series and found out my mom owned the book and several others of his. Didn’t understand a lot of things in it since I was young and naive but I reread it several times as an adult and it was interesting to learn the things I didn’t understand then 😆
I read carrie in 5th grade, immediately asked my parents for more of his books and read a bunch of his classics to the point my grades started dropping because I was reading in class instead of doing my work
Pretty sure it was Firestarter; my older brother & his friends went to see it for his 13th(?) birthday, and one of the his gifts was the novel. I don’t think he gave much of a shit about it- his tastes ran more to science fiction- but I picked it up and the rest is history.
The talisman. I read it when I was about 11 or 12, similar to jack’s age, so the book just felt that much more magical and adventurous to me. I know everyone loves to hate on it but I’ll always love it… the book got me into both Stephen King and CCR so double win
It was either The Shining, Carrie, or Christine. I can’t remember which since I read all three pretty much back to back to back, then I went along and read The Deadzone, Duma Key(this was around the time it came out), and another one I can’t remember, I read a lot in my teen years.
Salems Lot, because I’d just finished Bram Stokers Dracula and wanted to read another vampire story and it’s the only other one they had in the prison library 😆
The Shining.
I was 18 and quite proud of myself that I finished this book to restart my reading journey, which took a slog during the teenage heat. Never stopped since then.
Funny enough it was Dreamcatcher. Given, I had already seen both IT movies and miniseries, and the Shining and Carrie. But I wanted to see what his writing style was like.
As wacky as Dreamcatcher was, it gave me a great dose of how he writes; the interrupted thoughts (BACON SANDWICH— iykyk), the character development, etc, and I was instantly hooked.
Since then I’ve read IT, Four Past Midnight, Dark Half, Needful Things, Different Seasons, and currently working on Night Shift and The Stand.
Eyes of the dragon. I really enjoyed this book. This might have been the first non childrens book I read that I picked myself. I was probably 12. I wish there were more done with these characters.
It. I didn’t get into SK until the last couple years but I’d seen the new It movies and figured I’d give the book a try! Needless to say, the book was WAAAYYY better!
Fire Starter, my aunt gave it to me - I was like 12 and I was hooked, from there I read all the SK books I could get. Fire Starter still holds a place in my heart!
Funny enough “From a Buick 8.”
Always been a fan of King’s film adaptations since I was a kid.
But no book really called out to me if that makes sense.
I did read a few of his short stories which I loved but “from a Buick 8” was a full book of his I read from end to end. For some reason it was the one that called out to me. And I loved it. Still love it.
It’s opened the gates and I’m looking forward to reading more.
My first King was The Shining, the year it came out, 1977. I was 16. I quickly found 'Salem's Lot and Carrie and have been a Constant Reader ever since
Misery. After having seen the movie, which I hate to do.
Then a long time later, On Writing, then The Gunslinger at which point I was hooked. Just finished The Institute the other day, thought it was excellent!
Fairy Tale. I am late to the party but playing catch -up the best I can. Since then I’ve finished IT, Salem’s Lot, Dark Tower, Pet Semetary, 11/22/63 (twice). I am currently going through Mr. Mercedes now.
Night Shift when I was about 6 or 7 (81 or so). My father had the trade paperback with the amazing gauze wrapped hand with eyes cover. I figured whatever was inside was different than anything I'd read, and so happy I did!
I spent the rest of my birthdays and Christmases by asking for a new skateboard and the new King hardcover. Usually I'd just get the book, but that was cool. 😁
I still have all the original hardcovers and most of the special editions (growing up in Massachusetts made it easy to get to Bangor or Boston, where I scored things like My Pretty Pony silver case.)
Still a bibliophile. Still have King as my favorite all time. 🙂
My Aunt bought me the institute for Christmas a few years back. Got me hooked on the books, the institute is one of my top three books. Other favorites are the running man and the Tommy knockers.
*Desperation*! I was 9 and I’m surprised I kept reading King after that. I reread *Desperation* recently and it all came back to me how horrific it is, and reminded me why it’s one of my favorites!
I read *The Gunslinger* along with [these fellas ](https://www.doofmedia.com/kingslingers/) about a year ago. When I finish Christine tonight, I will have read or listened to 49/83 King books.
Pet Sematary back in 2020 when I’d just started my A-Levels (I was late to the King game, I know). I raved about it for weeks and then read Carrie a couple months later. Been hooked on his books ever since.
Kinda want to reread Pet Sematary though, I feel it might hit a lot harder now that I’m a bit older
I honestly cant remember which one I read first. I'm 40 ish and have been reading King for 30 years. I've read so many, and most multiple times, I don't know what was first. Best guess is Cujo.
The shining. A couple of months ago I got interested in Stephen King so I googled what's the best Stephen King book to start with. The rest is history.
Carrie!
My parents gave it go me for Christmas when I was 11.
I remember that I started to read it during the lunch breaks on the 25th (I am from Italy, we eat a lot). I finished it the night between 25th and 26th.
I loved it.
IT. I was like 11/12, it was the first grown ups book I ever read, most of it went over my head but enough got through to make me fall in love with horror.
Same! I was a little older... 13 I think. Had to choose a book over 400 pages to read in 8th grade and this was my choice. Still can't believe they let me choose it.

Kids today can't even spell "400 pages" let alone read 400 pages.
That’s crap man. My son read like two million words last year. Thousand and thousands of pages of books. My daughter is 6 and is reading books about Greek mythology and retaining the knowledge. Don’t generalize.
My children are also exceptional readers but by and large children just aren't reading books as much as they used to. I've been a teacher for 17 years, I see it everyday.
I agree kids don’t read as much, on the specific way you have chosen, books. The “kids today” thing is patently false in many ways because the world they’re growing up in is so different than any generation before them.
Going through IT. Crazy shit
Carrie. When it first came out. (Yes I'm older than dirt.) I knew I'd found a new favorite author
That makes you royalty in my eyes. So cool you’ve been there since the beginning!
STAND. Then it was years before I revisited anything, picked up Billy Summers in a CVS and since then I have knocked out most the classics. Currently on Drawing of Three and Mizz Holmes…
Dang, I wish I could go back and read Drawing of the Three for the first time again. Enjoy it!
Shining. I heard a lot about it and decided to try. Then I went for Carrie and Cujo, and I was hooked for good.
It.
Cujo. It was my dad's and I'd read it when he wasn't around. Think about 10yrs old? There's a reason why I'm like this. 😆
The Gunslinger
Night Shift. I bought it specifically to read the original story after watching The Lawnmower Man movie. Oh boy that was a confusing introduction to SK.
Salem’s Lot — I was about 13 years old. It absolutely terrified me and I was hooked to SK books for life.
Carrie, in 1978.
In 79.
What? No..pretty sure I read Carrie in 1978.
Carrie.
Salem’s Lot
Salem's Lot
The Stand.
The institute
Woah that’s cool! Late start! My fiance started at Fairy Tale (I LIKED IT BACK OFF) and then The Institute. How’s it going? What have you read since? Did you like the institute? Sigsby made me want to rip my hair out.
Carrie. I wasn't going for chronological order (I still don't do that), and it was the 90's so that wasn't exactly a new book.

Just began my King journey with Salem's Lot, and absolutely loved it. Finished Pet Sematary and Cycle of the Werewolf, currently reading The Shining.
22-11-1963
Carrie. Hooked ever since.
Dreamcatcher. I think I was 12? I know it gets a lot of hate, but I really enjoyed it and it got me hooked on Stephen King for life!
I had to scroll really far to find someone who says Dreamcatcher! It was my first as well and I loved it. Never see it mentioned anywhere though.
I’m glad I’m not the only one!!! Haha
Night Shift
My boyfriend at the time had me start at the beginning. Carrie
I believe it was *From a Buick 8.* I think the monster car on the front is what compelled me to pick it up, but I fell in love with how Lovecraftian-esque King is.
Misery, I read it in once sitting
Night Shift. I might have been 11 years old.
Night shift, probably about 12 years old.
Salem's Lot, about 4 months ago.
The long walk. I was horrified and hooked.
Firestarter. Followed very closely by Carrie. Became a Constant Reader!
Carrie or Salem’s Lot
I'm pretty sure it was the stand, in french (le fléau) because that was the only way that 12 year old boy i was could convince my mother to let me read Mr king. That or the long walk, again in french (marche ou crève). Either or, these were my first two for sure. Just to add for comedy effect, they were read at band camp. Lol
Firestarter
The Dark Half.
Thinner
Firestarter
Firestarter, about the time the Drew Barrymore movie came out, so I have a 'movie tie-in' paperback somewhere in my stacks...need to find it for a re-read.
The Shining
Night shift! Loved it so much! The Stand was next. That set the obsession in motion
Fairy Tale in January of this year
The Dead Zone
It was either Misery or Eyes of the Dragon. I can't recall, it was probably around 1987, Just searched and both came out in 87.
The Shining, my freshman year. That book really got to me…I was scared to turn my back on the bathtub for ages, and I wanted the shower curtain to be left open.
I read The Shining in 1983 when I was in 6th grade
The Dark Tower I: Gun Slinger
Gerald's Game when I was 12!
The Stand. I was in the army and was going to be in the field for a few weeks, saw how large of a book it was so I picked it up.
The Shining
Pet Sematary at the age of 15. Fucked me up. Went and bought my next King book the day after.
The Eyes of the Dragon when I was 12ish
Cycle of the Werewolf I think. I saw Silver Bullet very young. It’s cause a lifelong interest to read books that have a movie counterpart. Pretty sure I went straight from this to The Stand in middle/early High School.
Cell. I read it because it was my sister's favorite and she would always talk about how it's a great book... It wasn't.
Different Seasons
IT
End of watch
Tricky for me... Which book did I read to full completion? IT. I read it in 2 weeks, as a way to prepare myself for the new IT movie. But The Running Man was a book I was allowed to read after begging my dad and stepmon when I was 11 years old.

Christine. Sophomore year in HS.
The Shining
The Shining. Couldn't put it down.
The Stand. I’d seen the miniseries in the 90s and loved it. It was Christmas and my dad got the book from his brother. I read the introduction to the complete and uncut version sitting in my grandfather’s easy chair. To this day it’s the most magical experience I’ve had reading a book in my life.
I was 11 when I read salems lot
Carrie. I would have been around eleven years old in the mid eighties.
Rose Madder. I was vaguely aware of his works, mostly IT with Tim Curry, but... My god, that was one HELL of a book to actually start reading him on. Definitely a certain evil in that book that makes you uncomfortable.
The Gunslinger
Needful Things. I believe I was in late middle school/early high school at the time. Instant fan!
It. I was 14. Obsessed with the original mini series and found out my mom owned the book and several others of his. Didn’t understand a lot of things in it since I was young and naive but I reread it several times as an adult and it was interesting to learn the things I didn’t understand then 😆
The Shining, assigned in my 12th grade English class. Read the whole book over a weekend
Under the dome
The Shinning - I was 14
Gerald’s Game. It was a gift from a relative. I was 12-13 years old.
Christine. A 21st birthday gift from a guy who I thought was the love of my life. He turned out to be a real shitter.
Needful Things. It didn’t particularly impress me 😹😹😹
I loved Needful Things, as an exploration of human evil, prompted by Beelzebub. “What’s your needful thing?”
Misery
Pet Sematary when I was a freshman in high school.
I read carrie in 5th grade, immediately asked my parents for more of his books and read a bunch of his classics to the point my grades started dropping because I was reading in class instead of doing my work
Misery. It was so incredible
Carrie when I was 15. Some hardcore fucking kids in here reading IT at the age of like 10.
Pretty sure it was Firestarter; my older brother & his friends went to see it for his 13th(?) birthday, and one of the his gifts was the novel. I don’t think he gave much of a shit about it- his tastes ran more to science fiction- but I picked it up and the rest is history.
Salems’ Lot.
The talisman. I read it when I was about 11 or 12, similar to jack’s age, so the book just felt that much more magical and adventurous to me. I know everyone loves to hate on it but I’ll always love it… the book got me into both Stephen King and CCR so double win

The Shining in 2016 or 2017 when I was like 22ish, I've now read or 50 SK books and counting :)
The Shining, at around 12 years old. No wonder I grew up the way I am rn lol
Salems Lot, because I’d just finished Bram Stokers Dracula and wanted to read another vampire story and it’s the only other one they had in the prison library 😆
Christine
The Shining. I was 18 and quite proud of myself that I finished this book to restart my reading journey, which took a slog during the teenage heat. Never stopped since then.
The Shining when I was around 12.
Hearts in Atlantis
Funny enough it was Dreamcatcher. Given, I had already seen both IT movies and miniseries, and the Shining and Carrie. But I wanted to see what his writing style was like. As wacky as Dreamcatcher was, it gave me a great dose of how he writes; the interrupted thoughts (BACON SANDWICH— iykyk), the character development, etc, and I was instantly hooked. Since then I’ve read IT, Four Past Midnight, Dark Half, Needful Things, Different Seasons, and currently working on Night Shift and The Stand.
The Stand.
carrie
The shining
Salem’s Lot. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Pet Sematary and I was about 11 years old. About to read it again at 35 ☺️
Tommyknockers in the 5th grade
Pet Sematary at age…12? Scared me good lol but also fueled my love for The King.
Pet semetary…I googled the scariest King book and that was a front runner. Still one of my faves.
The Stand
Read Dead Zone at 14. Have read very many SK since!
Cujo when I was in 6th grade.
I watched IT, The Stand and The Shining when I was a kid but didn’t actually read an SK book until 11/22/63 about 5 years ago.
The Running Man
Full uncut copy of The Stand. At recommendation from my father, it took me two years of on/off reading to finish but I adored it
carrie
Christine, back in the middle 90's 🌹
11/22/63
Firestarter when I was 13.
The Shining.
Thinner. Late to the party
Pet Semetary in the 5th grade. Still my favorite.
Eyes of the dragon. I really enjoyed this book. This might have been the first non childrens book I read that I picked myself. I was probably 12. I wish there were more done with these characters.
Needful things stolen from my brothers library
Night Shift
*Rage* and I was 21. Read it in a collection of his works under Richard Bachman
Pet Sematary. Read it when I was around 9 or 10. Loved it immediately and been a king fan ever since :)
Loved NOLA then trash after that.
Salem’s Lot
It. I didn’t get into SK until the last couple years but I’d seen the new It movies and figured I’d give the book a try! Needless to say, the book was WAAAYYY better!
IT. Scared the crap outta me, but I knew I was going to read everything this man wrote after that.
Four seasons
Carrie. In the late 70s.
Fire Starter, my aunt gave it to me - I was like 12 and I was hooked, from there I read all the SK books I could get. Fire Starter still holds a place in my heart!
Funny enough “From a Buick 8.” Always been a fan of King’s film adaptations since I was a kid. But no book really called out to me if that makes sense.

Christine. Loved it so I went for The Stand next. Blew my mind so went to Carrie. Haven’t looked back!
Misery. After having seen the movie, which I hate to do. Then a long time later, On Writing, then The Gunslinger at which point I was hooked. Just finished The Institute the other day, thought it was excellent!
The Gunslinger. I was 13, 1991
The shining!!! Scared the absolute shit out of me when I was 16 and I haven’t looked back.
Night Shift.
Fairy Tale. I am late to the party but playing catch -up the best I can. Since then I’ve finished IT, Salem’s Lot, Dark Tower, Pet Semetary, 11/22/63 (twice). I am currently going through Mr. Mercedes now.
The Shining. I was 12 and my mom gave it to me since she figured I would like it.
Christine
Carrie, followed by The Stand at 9 yo.
I think I was 15 & it was blaze.
Night Shift when I was about 6 or 7 (81 or so). My father had the trade paperback with the amazing gauze wrapped hand with eyes cover. I figured whatever was inside was different than anything I'd read, and so happy I did! I spent the rest of my birthdays and Christmases by asking for a new skateboard and the new King hardcover.

IT’S A DESPERATE RACE AGAINST THE MINE
Everything's Eventual
3rd grade my mother gave me Eyes of the Dragon
Carrie oh so many years ago.
The Drawing of the Three. It was a Christmas or birthday present (they are close together). Also got Four Past Midnight.
Cujo
Pet Sematary at age 12. Then IT. Then Four Past Midnight. Then Salem's Lot.
Cujo, and even though it started my love of Stephen King works, it is one of the few I only read once.
Misery.
The mist followed by IT 12 years old
I read *The Gunslinger* along with [these fellas ](https://www.doofmedia.com/kingslingers/) about a year ago. When I finish Christine tonight, I will have read or listened to 49/83 King books.
The Gunslinger and I was confused the whole way through.
The Gunslinger earlier this year
The Talisman. Dark Tower series is my favorite. I’m trying to read all his books. I’m hooked.
“Christine” at the age of 13 and never looked back
Carrie. When I get into a new author, I read all of their work in chronological order to see how their writing style changes over time.
Thinner. I think I was 12 .
The Shinning was my first SK book only about 4 years ago. I've lost count of how many I've read since then. About to finish Billy Summers.
Christine, in 2018.
Night shift
Misery
Pet Sematary back in 2020 when I’d just started my A-Levels (I was late to the King game, I know). I raved about it for weeks and then read Carrie a couple months later. Been hooked on his books ever since. Kinda want to reread Pet Sematary though, I feel it might hit a lot harder now that I’m a bit older
Rose Madder, which you never hear about
I think it was The Institute. Loved it.
Firestarter
Desperation in like when I was 11/12, and for the past 20+ years I’ve been grabbing every one of his books I can get my hands on.
Duma Key. Not one of his popular ones but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I honestly cant remember which one I read first. I'm 40 ish and have been reading King for 30 years. I've read so many, and most multiple times, I don't know what was first. Best guess is Cujo.
The shining. A couple of months ago I got interested in Stephen King so I googled what's the best Stephen King book to start with. The rest is history.
The Stand
The Gunslinger, followed immediately by books 2-7 of the Tower
pet sematary
Carrie! My parents gave it go me for Christmas when I was 11. I remember that I started to read it during the lunch breaks on the 25th (I am from Italy, we eat a lot). I finished it the night between 25th and 26th. I loved it.
I haven’t seen anyone say the green mile, my librarian introduced me when I was 14 and I never looked back
Tommyknockers.
The shining. Then about halfway through that I also started Firestarter
