I haven't ready any good books lately.... I've unfortunately read the whole Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I used to be a fan, but he's accomplished a feat I never thought possible. He's crapped on every story I've ever read by him, and now I no longer enjoy his old stuff. I would have never tired of The Stand, It, Salem's Lot, or The Talisman, but now those universes have collapsed in on themselves and are no longer open to me. Waahhhh, heh
Does anyone know of any good new horror authors? There doesn't seem to be a lot out there lately, and the quality is pretty thin.
On a side note I've read some Hemingway, and all I got from the stories was a feeling of impotence and entitlement. Maybe I need to reread, it has been a few years. A certain amount of ageing is required sometimes..... It is probably about time to read something challenging again, anyway. I've been reading mostly fluff.
