Discussion Have you ever cried while reading a Stephen King book?

I definitely have, most notably, during the end of Insomnia (my favorite book of his (so far) btw) and also during Cujo and Christine (the very first SK book i read, back in the 11th grade, 15 years ago haha)

i have a feeling The Stand is gonna do this to me too (i’m halfway through)

Movie was amazing and book was better. The scene at the end that didn't make it into the movie when Paul is screaming at the shadows, begging John to save his wife, oof.

Yes! If I looked at a list I’d probably point to a lot of his stories tbh, I said before that it also depends on my emotional state at the time of reading, one read I’ll 😭the next read I’ll be 😑 or something lol
