    Category 1 is in the books and QB leads the way by 2 points from LeVar.

    tusk and Three More Big Sleeps aren't too far off either. Spook and 2D have a tussle over the spoon at the moment, like two gnarled gunslingers it's looking like a showdown :P

    I'll be back in 5 mins with category 2 :)

    Scores after question 5:

    :cool: is Good btw, I'd have loved that answer.

    Sadly not to be. The Gunslinger sheeps here and Choccy avoids it... TWICE :P

    Sigh. Pretty clear what my favourite book is. :rolleyes:

    And the impending apocalypse apparently hasn't changed it. Maybe i'll be different when we get to the horror...

    Being in the Top 3 early on, didn't bode well for me during yesterday's Sheep. In fact my best performances have always been a late surge from the middle of the pack. Wonder if I can finally break the Early Bird curse and pull out a podium finish tonight... Here's hoping...

    Category 2: The Epics

    This is a hard one to define. King has quite a lot of books that could be considered 'Epic'. Not all of them are good however.... Cell being one example :/


    Here's a handful...

    121838-Stephen_King_Books.jpg

    For fun, does anyone know how many books he has published all up?

    At a guess, 42.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,215 ✭✭✭ khalessi

    Ding Ding Ding! khalessi has it - I'm not sure how up to date the wiki is...

    King has published 63 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and five non-fiction books. He has written over 200 short stories, most of which have been compiled in book collections.

    Anyways, the first question: Name a member of Randall Flagg's group in The Stand

    Our Sheep would be very familiar to some as a mass murderer in a recent game of Werewolf ;)

    If you actually type 'How many books has Stephen King written' into google the answer at the top says

    'At Least 96' :eek:

    I'm not sure how that is calculated though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,215 ✭✭✭ khalessi


    Just finished watching the Stephen King chat at the beginning and just when I thought I couldnt love him more, was very entertaining

    According to kiddo who is addicted to Stranfer THings podcasts Stephen King recommended MBB for the role of EL in ST


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,096 ✭✭✭✭ Collie D


    Haven’t seen the new movie yet and it’s a while since I read the book. Were there really that many Losers as in that photo?

    BTW The original two parter gave me a lifelong hatred of clowns.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭ Also Starring LeVar Burton


    F**k sake, thought everyone would go Richie.

    Question 3: Name a form the being IT takes in the novel IT

    Yeah so this was a better Peehs question lol.

    But for the record, Peehs answers could have been:

    George Denborough
    Dorsey Corcoran
    Creature from the Black Lagoon
    Betty Ripsom
    A Giant Bird
    etc...


    Here's the full list: https://stephenking.fandom.com/wiki/It_(Creature)

    Pretty convincing sheep, as to be expected tbf. Poor Three Big Sleeps gives a peach of an answer though for an ace.

    Question 4: Name one of the 26 Survivors in the novel 'Under The Dome'

    I love this book, it's up there with my favourites and I've read it about 4 times.

    Let's not talk about the TV show though :(
