I'm also a huge Stephen King fan. My favorite book on your list was Desperation, though I think he could have maybe edited out about 100 pages (but that's Stephen King for you). The beginning is just phenomenal and reminds me of a pasta you would see here- getting pulled over in the desert. HIs son, Joe Hill, I also an amazing writer, and his book of short stories 20th Century Ghosts is a must read for any lover of pasta. My favorite Stephen King of all time is hands down Salem's Lot. What a masterpiece- actually, now that I think about it, the short story prequel to it, Jerusalem's Lot, from Night Shift is even better (one of those books bound in human flesh stories). What do you think of Jerusalem's Lot, Banning? If you get the time I'd love to know. Oh, and what did you think of the film version of 1408?
