The Stephen King Reading List

A Checklist of 158 Books

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
