Has reading Stephen King ruined you for reading anyone else? I'm trying to read widely as Mr. King says but nothing grabs me like his work does. Any suggestions?

Since I started reading sK I've checked out some of the authors he suggests in Danse Macabre. These authors have not failed me. I also recommend considering the authors SKMB members recommend periodically in posts on the Board.Has reading Stephen King ruined you for reading anyone else?

Not really. I can still enjoy authors like Clive Barker, Brandon Sanderson, Bernard Hennen. For my historically correct needs I love W. Michael Gear & Kathleen Gear- O'Neal's 'The People of...' series. Their standalone book "Dark Inheritance" is one of the best non Kings I've ever read. Also, "Lost boys" by Orson Scott Card and "Dreamland" by Garfield Reeves Stevens (could have been a SK book). For Brandon Sanderson, try "Elantris"Has reading Stephen King ruined you for reading anyone else? I'm trying to read widely as Mr. King says but nothing grabs me like his work does. Any suggestions?
As soon as a new King comes out I'm on it like a rabid dog. But my moods dictate what and when I read so I'm all over the place most of the time.Has reading Stephen King ruined you for reading anyone else?

...he hasn't "ruined" me...but with my limited reading time...I prefer his company the most, and Cousin Dean second...

I've found Diana Gabaldon to be very good. She pulled me into the story. "Outlander" is the first one of a series. Time travel in present day America and England to 1700 America, England and Scotland. I'm reading a number of authors now. What genres do you like to read?Has reading Stephen King ruined you for reading anyone else? I'm trying to read widely as Mr. King says but nothing grabs me like his work does. Any suggestions?
I wish Cousin Dean would finish the Moonlight Bay series.
I agree. They initially came out in quick succession, but then nothing!Cousin Dean lol. I wish Cousin Dean would finish the Moonlight Bay series. Twilight Eyes by Koontz is one of my most favoritest books.

Lots of people have recommended this series to me, but I haven't read it yet! Maybe someday soon.I've found Diana Gabaldon to be very good. She pulled me into the story.

I really enjoyed Twilight Eyes. I liked Watchers also, but I read that a long time ago and the only thing I remember about it is the Golden Retriever.
