I read most of King's early books...Salem's Lot, The Shining, Carrie, Christine, The Stand, Cujo, Firestarter, The Dead Zone, Tommyknockers, and a few others. I think the last novel of his I read was Delores Claiborne. Haven't read any of his books since then. Got tired of him, and then was glad I stopped when I learned what a liberal he was.

I'm more into British historical mysteries that are based in the medieval period, ie., the Templar series from Michael Jecks, the Matthew Bartholomew series from Susanna Gregory, and a few others...also mysteries based in the 18th century, along with non-fiction books on British history. Eliot Pattison writes a series called Mystery of Colonial America. Robert McCammon's Matthew Corbett series is excellent. Andrew Taylor is good, as is Lloyd Shepherd (Charles Horton series), and Phil Rickman who writes the Merrily Watkins series.

I also enjoy the modern mystery writer Stuart McBride who writes the Logan McRae series...a police mystery series that takes place in Scotland. And I'm a long-time fan of anything from American authors Doug Preston and Lincoln Child, especially their Prendergast series. I'm an avid reader. Usually have 4 books of various genres going at the same time, plus one on my Kindle that I read before going to bed. I've read the whole collection of Sherlock Holmes, and am gradually making my way through all of Dickens' books, and also trying to make my way through all of Father Brown's mysteries by G.K. Chesterton.
