Stephen King/Richard Bachman Challenge

The Stephen King Challenge

Book Geek is hosting this new challenge-

I recently fell in love with Stephen King, and I want to get every one of his books read. The problem is… well, I’m just lazy. So, I though “Hey! Why don’t I start a challenge to get my butt in gear and promote my blog share Stephen King with the world?”

And so The Stephen King/Richard Bachman Challenge was born. 😀 So the object of this perpetual challenge is to read EVERY SINGLE book by Stephen King or his pseudonym, Richard Bachman. A complete list can be found here. If you have trouble finding the limited edition books, that’s okay. 😀

ALSO: If you don’t want to, you don’t have to re-read the books you have already read.
ALSO ALSO: If you want to watch all the movies, too, go ahead. I won’t stop you. 😀
ALSO ALSO ALSO: Go ahead and review all of the books, too, if you want!

I have become a fan of Stephen King, not only books but his films, but have only read a couple of them. I am looking forward to this challenge, not only because there is no end date, but because I have so many already on my shelves waiting to be read. As of right now, I will only be reading Stephen King works, but may continue on afterward to read the Richard Bachman books as well.
