    Stephen KIng Or Dean Koontz

    My favorites are: The Stand, Salem's Lot, The Shining and It. These are old school King, which I prefer over most of his newer stuff. Felicia

    I used to have a long drive to work, anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours. Unfortunately, I never thought to try audio books then. You make it sound engrossing. And, like you, I sometimes gloss over some things when I'm reading, especially when the writer doesn't get to the point quickly...

    Now we're talking:D I'm just sorry that by the time 'discovered' John Lee Hooker and Nina Simone I didn't have the money to go see them both.

    Audio books? I haven't tried audio books. I used to commute to work and that would have been the perfect time to do it. You are the first person that I've spoken with about audio books. I like to imagine the characters as I read and I thought it would be more difficult to do if there was a...

    Anne Rice... Hi, I read "Interview of the Vampire" when I was 12 y.o., or maybe a little bit older. I found it to be the hardest to get through, probably due to my age at the time. I continue with Anne Rice books because her use of imagery and the plots are usually worth the wait. But...

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    Re: Wally Lamb and Robert McCammon Wally Lamb recently wrote a book about a group of female inmates that he taught. I haven't read it yet but it's on my list of "Must haves.." If you like Robert McCammon, you'll love Graham Masterton!

    The Vampire Lestat - my two cents... I have read all of Ann Rice's Vamp books... I have to say that you have to be diligant to read one of her books. She takes a very long time to move her plot along. I perservered and liked her books a lot. My book - The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand - I...
