@ chocolate 1347: yup. so many stephen king fanatics here. i didn't expect he was still popular because in our school, only a few prefer reading his books. try reading different books. try a variety so that you'll be able to choose a specific genre/theme (e.g mystery, horror, romance, sci fi, etc.) you enjoy reading. it helps to read i'd like to add peter straub and dean koontz. they were writers at the same time when stephen king became popular.
