I've read a few Stephen King's.. Cujo is a good book! Shakespeare, he had a unique style.. i think i can still quote a few lines from Romeo and Juliet.. how camp is that!

I prefer to read Stephen King and see William Shakespeare. Shakespeare's plays are superior to king's movie adaptations. Kings books make better reading than trying to read something that was written to be performed I.E. Shakespeare's plays..

Both are pretty good, especially King's early work. Shakespeare is just fantastic though. His stories are timeless - when you get past the language, they are just the same stories being told now. Didn't like his work til I saw romeo and juliet being acted in mixture of modern language (including modern slang) and shakespearean language. It was amazing and just clicked. Not pretending you don't need to work sometimes to find out what he's talking about - you do (commentary books are priceless!) - but once you work it out...yep!
Stephen King is better for reading, but Shakespeare for watching, I think, especially if you know story a bit first.

Shakespeare of course, Stephen King is a little strange, So Shakespeare has one of the best plays which I have seen (Mcbeth). Bye

Stephen King for casual reading, but Shakespeare has better literary skills. It really depends on my mood.

Both are good!
I prefer Stephen King's earlier books, he was a little darker then I think. His later books maybe reflect his wider audience... I dunno. My favourite book of his by far is Firestarter, then probably The Stand. He has learnt the value of a happy ending too in his later books!
Don't have a huge amount of Shakespeare experience but enjoyed A midsummer Night's Dream at the theatre a couple of years ago. Interesting modern adaptation.
