Funny you mention Stephen King, as I am an avid reader but up until recently I have never read one of his books. I've always been a nonfiction guy, and even when I did read fiction books I always preferred Clive Barker.
Then a week or so ago I was reading a horror website and I saw that they were making an actual cinematic release movie out of "It', and the director was saying how he was going to be true to the story with all the sex and violence that the TV miniseries couldn't show. When I read a synopsis of the story I got this ridiculous urge to pick up the book, so I ran out to the bookstore and bought it.
I'm about 500 pages in and I fucking LOVE this book, and now I feel like an idiot for passing over Stephen King's books all of these years. My ex used to rave about the Dark Towers books but for some reason I never even considered them. I will probably pick the first one up next...
