Some of SK's books are too scary for me. (Salem's Lot scared me years ago - kept seeing Glick looking in the bathroom window off the main bedroom) But I loved the Dark Tower series. Couldn't put them down. Bawled and sobbed during several parts. (so emotional!)

i started reading his books in like 8th grade, and have been hooked. Grisham too. Newspapers too, the first Veterinarin I worked for caught me reading old newspapers in the kennel that I was suppose to be lining them with.

Another good one along those lines is "The Autobiography of Henry the VIII (with notes from his fool, Will Somers) by Margret George Do u watch the show "The Tudors"?

Love Twilight and read all the Sookie Stackhouse books too!

I am currently reading Ava's Man by Rick Bragg since we are covering it in my Southern Fiction class. I'm being a bad teacher by not reading it before teaching it. I'm reading it along with the students. Next will be a biography of John Muir, then some Arthurian fantasy series I bought at a NCTE convention a couple of weeks back, as if I needed anymore books! lol

If you liked 1984, read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, it's just as chilling.
