I'll probably get crucified, but I like to recreationally read atlases (A.K.A. road maps). Flame suit on.

The Great Gatsby is the best piece of literature ever written.

Reading destroys your eyes like running destroys your knees.

Reading (offline) is obsolete.

Reading is too boring now in the modern world.... Movies for the win!

Some stuff classically regarded as "good for you" is anything but.

Scarlet Letter? More like Scarlet Crap.

Regarding the works of Stephen King, THE STAND, IT and THE DARK TOWER IV: WIZARD AND GLASS are very overrated (the last 100 pages of THE STAND and IT almost ruin everything that came before, and a lot of WIZARD AND GLASS is just boring).

On the other hand, THE DARK TOWER V: WOLVES OF THE CALLA and THE DARK TOWER VI: THE DARK TOWER are severely underrated. Furthermore, CHRISTINE is the best book he ever wrote.

Every non-Stephen King book I read, no matter how enjoyable, I always think to myself, "Stephen King would have written this better."

It's been quite some time since I've read The Stand, but I recall it being among his best. To this day I think of that book whenever I have to touch doorknobs or interac machines.

If that's the case, you must think about The Stand a hell of a lot.

I guess there may have been a slight exageration. But how

*Don't read the spoilers above if you haven't read The Stand. Just read that awesome book.

If you cannot enjoy a Pratchett Discworld-book, there is something wrong with you.
(Nothing severe, but it is there. Just a heads-up.)

Every Stephen King book I do read, I always think, "Richard Matheson wrote this better."

The Shining is way overrated. Most of the book is boring. The story doesn't really start until the very end. It feels like at least 2/3 is just introduction stuff. The horror aspects don't work at all for me.

BladeRunner2007 · 06-14-2018, 06:48 PM

Hannibal is the best book in the Lecter series.

Not sure where to post this.

Rich1983 · 07-17-2024, 07:32 PM

My unpopular book opinion is that Stephen King's The Tommyknockers is a great book. I consider this a hot take because King, himself, trashes this book!

Cardboard_killer · 07-17-2024, 07:58 PM

There are some great ideas in it, but overall it is not one I recommend.

Rich1983 · 07-20-2024, 03:20 PM

Are you kidding? It has a great (and heartbreaking character arc) with a lot of suspense. Not to mention all of the world building it establishes by being the town right next door to Derry!

Cardboard_killer · 07-20-2024, 06:33 PM

When I'm kidding you'll know it because you'll be laughing.
