Ît, seriously that book was awesome and scared the pants off me. However I really want to get into his dark tower books, they are supposed to link all his other books together. Anybody read them? Are they good?
Read all The Dark Tower except of course the newest to be published this year-and yes, well worth the reading, esp. if you can try to read them consecutively in order:)
My favorite is definately The Stand. Its one of those that will stick with you. Everytime there is a flu epidemic this book comes to mind. :-)
Right now I am reading
and it is really good.As a teenager I read a lot of Steven King, I think my top five favorites are:

I keep meaning to get to them, but then again I keep meaning to get to a lot of King's books and it hasn't happened yet. He has so many!
The Stand is another that's been on my list for awhile. I even own a copy and haven't gotten to it yet. For shame.
There's been a lot of talk about people saying that they think King has a ghost writer now because his writing style has changed a lot.I'm not sure if I believe that, I think that he's been through a lot and after that whole bout with writer's block I think maybe his writing has changed a bit. But not for the worse, I definitely still like his newer books even if they are a bit different from his earlier stuff.
Any opinions?
I've read lots of Uncle Stevie's stuff and my favorite is
, though 11 22 63 came very close! The only one of his that I really didn't like was the first Dark Tower book which is the only one of them I read.

If he has a ghost writer than it is a darn good one. The book I am reading now while different has the same tone, voice...style, not sure of the adjective I should use but it feels familiar.
I have a new favorite king. It is his newest which is just a date. ARGHHHHHHHhh I cannot remember what the title is. Its the date of the Kennedy assination. It has everything. Time Travel, History and great char devolopement to name a few.The only thing it is missing is a title I can remember
