I read his stuff right up to Tommyknockers.
But when he reverted to space aliens, I
realized I was wasting my life on his crap.
No more, no thanks.

Give me John Barth, Tom Wolfe, Tom Clancy among contemporary writers. King’s imagination has peaked out.

I liked The stand, It, Carrie, Different seasons and several of his short stories. The last one I read was dream catcher which just seemed to be compiled pieces of his old stories. I figured then he was out of ideas.

My taste varies widely, but lately I’ve been in a Larry McMurtry mood. I’m just about to finish Comanche Moon.
