    My mom had some kind of deal where she got a new Stephen King book in the mail like every week. She had tons of them so I eventually started reading them, too. The most memorable ones I got through were The Regulators and Desperation. I thought using similar characters and locations, even similar stories, was really interesting between two books.

    Yeah he is a great author. I read Pet Cemetery years ago along with some others. And I am currently in the middle of reading Cell. It's not one of his better ones, but it's interesting nonetheless.

    His Dark Tower series is awesome. One of my favourite series.

    I like him a lot! IT is my favorite of his. Though I think many of his books tend to take a nosedive for the overboard bizarre near the end.

    I read The Running Man. Pretty sweet book. I saw the movie, so I was surprised that the book was so different, but it was a very nice book indeed. Read it in a day. Couldn't throw it away.

    I think he's great. Maybe a little too kooky, but great nonetheless.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I love King's books. My overall favorites are probably It and Insomnia, I really enjoy the stories set in Derry. I actually received Lisey's Story as a Christmas gift, although I haven't really read much of it yet.
