As a kid, I longed to dive into books. I would pick up anything. Any book that looked half interesting, I'd pick up to live inside for its length. The most amazing of those, was "The Shinning" by Stephen King.
I first read this book in 8th grade, amazed that something so dark, and sometimes scary, could be so amazing. I then set out to do the impossible. I tried to read everything Stephen King had ever written. Little did I know, that some of his books are the length of Webster's dictionary. But still, I press on.
I've accomplished an amazing feat today.
After watching "Gilmore Girls," I sought out a reading list with all of the books listed in the show. The checklist compiled everything I needed in a cute, yet functional booklet. So, when I found the "recommended reading list" given by Stephen King, I jumped at the idea.
It took me quite a bit of time to format, but I think I've managed to get the project to work out for the best.
I'm no graphic designer or expert in layout, but I've managed to design a logo for my "business" instagram, CoopReadsBooks, design the layout of the reading list, and successfully print out a copy of the list, as well as make it available to download in PDF form.
It's a compilation of a list of 102 books that Stephen King recommends to readers and future writers, as well as the books he has written. It involves every genre of book, from Peter Straub to his wife, Tabitha King. And a list like this can only be given out once, by a man who has written over 50 books in his career.
If anyone would like a copy of the reading list, please let me know. I'm very excited to share it with everyone. Also, be sure to share it and tag my instagram, as well as anyone who may also want a copy.
