My favorite SK is The Green Mile by Stephen King . I was in high school when I read them and I was working in a bookstore when they came out. So when the boss wasn't looking I would sneakily read them under the cash register because they were so tiny :)

I did that with Misery, I started it but couldn't get through it. I also tried his Dark Tower books and I couldn't get into them. They made no sense to me, but maybe I should try again now that I'm older and wiser. I tried to read them 10 years ago when they first came out.
