Which Stephen King book should I read first?
Start from the begining - Carrie (I believe King was 19 when he wrote it). It is an entertaining read and will give you a good idea of what you are in for! If you want a good feel for his works try them in this order. Carrie Fire Starter Salems Lot It The Eyes of the Dragon The Stand The Green Mile The Drawing of The Three The Cell The Stand and Fire Starter are by far my favorites...
How did Stephen King manage to put out so many long books in such a short time in between each?
Honestly, when you do the math, King’s output isn’t that difficult to attain. It seems hard at first, but let’s take King at face value. He claims to write between 3,000 and 5,000 words a day.You’re average double-spaced page of writing is about 300 words. So King’s knocking out 10 to 15 or so pages a day. That sounds like a lot to a non-writer, but most professional writers can whip that out in a day, no problem.10 pages a day gives you 300 pages down in a month. An average-size adult novel in America is somewhere between 300 and 500 pages. So within two months, King’s got a first draft done. If you’re a pro, that first draft is probably pretty damn good. Even with a lengthy re-write, you’re still churning out an average-size novel in under six months.King has talked about writing multiple novels at once earlier in his career: a new book in the mornings and rewrites on the previous manuscript in the evenings. With that kind of overlap, it’s not surprising that he could produce a pace of two to three books a year.
Who has sold more books to date, Stephen King or J K Rowling?
Oops. Looks like Agatha Christie snogs them both, according to the Guinness Book of World Records All-time best selling author determination, at 2 billion. Other media reports quoting publisher information (as one answerer noted) list JK Rowlings sales after Book 6 at over 300 million. I have found no collective data on King's estimated total sales.
