For me, Stephen King's work started to get unenjoyable right after Needful Things. Up until that point, he was great. I loved his stuff. After that point, his writing seemed forced to me and I stopped reading him. Though, I just had this discussion with a new friend, and she had exactly the opposite view. She prefers King's post-Needful Things era.
I Do need to finish the Dark Tower series, though. I can't not-finish a series. I don't like hard cover books, so I'm waiting for them to come out in paperback. I've read 1 through 4. I didn't like the fourth installment much at all. I hope the rest of the series is better. I'm sure they are. I've picked up the fifth and sixth books and they are sitting on my night stand now. I plan on digging into them latter today.
