His early books are awesome. The Stand, 'Salems Lot, Night Shift. But later, he got really weird, and it seems like all his books now have to do with horrible child abuse of some kind..i can't deal with that.

Hi All....well, another week down and another week without my new Kindle BUT another week closer to it shipping!!!
I so enjoyed catching up on this tread! I have read loads of Stephen Kings early works and I gotta tell you, one of my most favorite is one that is little known: "The Eye of the Dragon". It is more fantasy: it is about knights, princes, dragons and wizards. I distinctly remember my teenage self reading it at about 2 or 3 AM on a school night (cause who can put it down?) and getting so freaked out that I almost shreked out loud! It was a BOOK!!!! It really was that good! I would highly recommend it.....and those were pre-Harry Potter days! I did also read The Shining, among many others and yes, it is worth the read. VERY good!!!
<sigh> I am in a no reading phase right now because I really don't want to buy anything new....I really want to read the "True Blood" / Sookie Stackhouse series but I am holding out for my Kindle. So I am forced to spend my time online talking about what I am planning to read with all you faceless friends.....
Someone argue to amazon on my behalf that this Kindle wait is killing me!!!
