I've picked up some different books in the last couple months. I have a ton of free time currently, so I read constantly, and I still like to read a King book along with another author at the same time, if possible. For me it's very easy and enjoyable. Some complain about it, but it works for me. I'm currently reading The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel & Insomnia by King. Sometimes it's hard for me to read 1 book at a time, when I have so many others by other authors I want to get read. Some may disagree but that's how it is for me. I feel like life is to short to limit myself to one book at a time, IF and only IF I can read another and enjoy them both, and take in both stories the same as I would if only reading one of them.
I've picked up some Bentley Little, Robert McCammon books lately. Not many but just a few. Those should be fun to dive into. I'm hoping to get some Richard Laymon books as well. I understand Laymon has some very gruesome work and a lot of it may be just the general horror slasher stuff, but I enjoy that too, so I look forward to that. Also can't wait to get No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. That's one of my all time favorite movies, so it's just natural for me to be itching to read that epic book. Also getting into some Joe Hill. A few more authors I'm hoping to check out down the road. I enjoy fiction the most and I like to write fiction, but I also love Historical Non Fiction & Crime books. This Mothman book is great, and stuff like this always inspires me to write about this stuff, since I love reading about it and doing hours of non stop research and learning. I like to read a lot on the JFK stuff, but only certain books, and I won't get into the reason for that here. Manson, Zodiac, Wonderland, Black Dahlia, Laurel Canyon, JFK, UFO type books & true stories, paranormal books, I enjoy as much of that stuff as I can get, along with plenty of fiction. I love it all. But not the usual history books, again I won't get into that. I'm a fan of Adam Gorightly, maybe that will fill some of you in with all you need to know, LOL. Dr. Mary's Monkey, another book I cant wait to get. Great stuff!
Anyone ever read much of Richard Laymon's stuff? Any big name titles you could refer me to?
