Well put. I'm going to hunt up the other titles you mention.

Sounds a lot like The Ruins, makes sense that Smith endorsed it. I'm looking forward to reading it.

It really is eye opening. Remember this isn't some right wing politician they are hounding, this is Stephen King, who has championed liberal causes all his life. And yet they'd be happy to destroy him for one ambiguous tweet that didn't meet their standards.

Mr King was too modest. Clearly, The Stand should be among the 3. I'd also put The Terror over Carrion Comfort.

This is what bothers me, the forced homogenization of opinion that brooks no dissent. If you don't think like us, you are guilty of thoughtcrime and we will hound you out of the public square.

Gracious, as always. The last line says it all. Its a sad commentary on our society that he even had to say it.

I think Woody is probably guilty as hell and am appalled at Hollywood's willingness to look the other way, but I think they are being too hard on our boy: Stephen King Tweets About Dylan Farrow and Woody Allen, Sparks Outrage | TIME.com I didn't read his tweet as a defense of Woody or blaming...

I thought this was the most masterful ending King has ever pulled off. I loved everything about it, the last dance was such a wonderful send off to a beautiful romance.

Swan Song is like The Stand. Boy's Life is more like IT.

Summer of Night is hugely underrated, and the sequel, A Winter's Haunting is even more so. Imagine a sequel to IT

Oh man, Harry Crews looks awesome but none of his stuff is in e-book format :(

No I haven't, friend, but I'll sure look them up. Nothing I like better than finding a new author! By redneck lit I mean stories about rural folk, whether set in the old west or the current day.

Horror: Dan Simmons Robert McCammon Redneck Lit: Daniel Woodrell Larry McMurtry Tom Franklin Donald Ray Pollock

On the flip side, one of the things I loved about Dr. Sleep was the connections to NOS4A2, and vice versa.

Ah, sweet, thanks!

Great grandma, and we're told she is dying when we meet her.

I loved it, don't get me wrong. But he didn't I can live with it, we're still BFFs. Can't wait for next year's offerings.

There's a lot to like about Dan Simmons. Summer of Night and A Winter's Haunting are very Stephen King like, and very well done. He turned his hand to scifi, and proceeded to write the most popular and influential series since Asimov's The Foundation. More recently, The Terror, omg what a...

It started because I was desperate for something to read and someone had given me the first 3 books in the series. My first impression was not positive. I'm not into detective novels or wizards, so all the way through the first book I'm wishing I had something better to read. Fairies and ghouls...

Yeah it made me squeamish too, but its not American Psycho graphic, more like how King might approach the subject.
