I'm into a Stephen King rush right now. I've watched the truly good movies back when he was hot but never really read any of it.
So last friday I bought a paperback (ugh) for Pet Sematary. I gulped it in one weekend. He's a truly skilled writer, no doubt. I've previously bought his Night Shift collection of short stories for the android Kindle reader, but didn't get much past Jerusalem's Lot. I think that story didn't really do it to me, despite opening the book. Now however I decided to read the stories out of order and am getting a much better kick out of it, though I feel King is really best as a novelist.
Thus I also bought The dead zone and am about 11% through it. Pure reading awesomeness like in so long. I'm now decided to read most of his classic material at least.
