The Green Mile is good and sad - it’s worth noting that it was originally written as a Serial, with King releasing short segments of it periodically, before he even knew how it was going to end. For that reason, reading it all in one go as one novel resulted in a slight pacing issue for me, but it’s still a good story.

Like others said, King doesn’t just write horror, and The Green Mile isn’t really intended to scare.

If I stop reading at the end of a chapter I usually don’t. But if I stop reading mid-page I usually just start at the top of the page - read it in full or skim down to where I was depending on how well I remember.

I read Lord of the Flies because Stephen King mentions it a lot in both his fiction and nonfiction, particularly in Hearts in Atlantis. Somehow I was never assigned to read it in high school, so that’s how I finally got around to reading it.

I’ve read all his books, and Dreamcatcher is near the bottom. Definitely one of the worst, for me.

I always say that anyone who cares so much about the particular way other people read, be it audiobooks versus ebooks versus traditional, this versus that, etc., is usually more concerned with coming off as well-read rather than just enjoying the act of reading.
