Fun Stuff > ENJOY
For lack of a better title, The Book Thread!

Kings not the best writer out there, but i like alot of his books.
His last book (thankfully, as his recent stuff was shit) was alright, but his best works imo are The Stand and IT
Mintdeee:
Honestly I think that King is a bit overrated. I actually have a friend that reads everything by King that she can get her hands on because he is the author. That is her main reason for reading those books. Frustrating to no end. That being said I do enjoy some of his books. Some of his stuff is very interesting. Anyway...
It was good but very disturbing *shudder*
heretic:
reading a book because you know and like the author makes perfect sense to me. i read books just cause Anthony wrote them, and they've never disappointed. however, since King sucks (except IT which still scares the bejeezus outa me) i think i understand your point. it's not cause he's good, it's cause he's known

--- Quote from: ChanPai ---Robbins is my all time favorite author. He has a book of short stories coming out very soon and I hope he does a book tour. I love him like most people love their mothers.

Finally, a kindred spirit!
I can guarantee that of those of you who decide to read a Tom Robbins book based on a this or my own recommendation, at least half will refer to him as your "favorite author" after a couple of books.

For everyone who has listed Gaiman, he's got a new book coming out in September, I think. It sounds like it's pretty much rehashing American Gods, though. I really think his books tend to have the same basic theme and plot by the end.
Another thought that is totally unrelated....anyone read anything by William Golding besides Lord of the Flies? I've read a few other things by him, and really, they were brilliant. Pincher Martin comes to mind.
