I'm almost as proud of this bookshelf as I am my kids. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I've never been prouder of any bookshelf I've owned.
As you can see, it's pretty fully up to date, even adding Joe Hill's comics, and Rocky Wood's Stephen King: Unpublished, Uncollected, which I'm considering part of this collection, even if King didn't write it himself.
I've added all the non-fiction after years of insisting King's non-fiction didn't interest me. Some of it has had to be in digital form only, such as Guns and A Little Silver Book of Sharp, Shiny Slivers, and I don't have a copy of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, which in part I feel like I should get, but in part balk at the amount I would have to spend for it, when it's really more a John Mellencamp CD than it is a King "book".
If one looks closely on the drum at the right, you'll see the copy of Esquire magazine with "On Slide Inn Road" within it. I feel like I'll probably get to the end of this before King publishes another collection, so I can remain as up to date as I have tried to be thus far.
If one thing does kinda make me shake my head it's that this shelf makes it seem like I haven't gotten far at all in my reading. The last book I finished was Dolores Claiborne, which, if you can see it, is just before the mammoth copy of Nightmares and Dreamscapes. That's...not even two shelves worth. Out of five. Of course, I've actually read most of the third shelf in the past, and will be re-reading it now, but the world of Shelves 4 & 5 are going to be almost entirely new to me. I say almost because I read the first four volumes of Locke & Key, and the story The Cat From Hell, which was contained in Just After Sunset.
Still excited to be on this journey!
