Thanks for all of that detail. I'm definitely going to go check them out on Amazon after your thorough recommendation. I will probably go ahead and order one with as affordable as they are. I appreciate it!

I'd definitely recommend the Bachman Books, especially if you can find the original including Rage.

Like Wolfpack said, The Shining is a great book. I really enjoyed the book It too. I'm currently on book two of the Dark Tower series. Book one was okay, book 2 has been great so far. Pet Cemetery was probably the scariest of the books I've read from him. I also enjoyed the Dream Catcher, although it's been over 15 years I think since I read that one.

The only King book I've read, other than the Gunslinger series, is The Tommyknockers, I liked both it and the series, but never really got into any other King books. Tommyknockers is more sci-fi than horror, which is probably why I haven't read any of his horror books. I'm not a fan of that genre.

As to the Kindle, I use my I-Pad Pro to read e-books. I have a Kindle that I almost never pick up any more. You can get the Kindle app on any device and I hardly ever read printed books any more. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm on a Stephen King fix for whatever reason. Read 11/22/1963 and Misery. Currently reading Salem's Lot. Any "must read" books from him you recommend I go to next?

Just completed Chapterhouse: Dune.

I never thought I would read all of these books after hating Dune Messiah way back when I first read it. It was the coming third movie being based on that book that prompted me to re-read Dune Messiah, and it was my newfound appreciation for that book that spurred me to read the rest of Frank Herbert's saga. I am so glad I did this. While I always loved the first book, had I not finished all of them I would not now have a third favorite sci-fi series behind Star Wars and Star Trek.

I have the two sequels for Herbert's final work, written by his son allegedly based on notes left behind after Herbert's passing. I do not expect those to be in the same quality ballpark, but will read just to see where they take this story. But those - Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune - will be all I will ever read from the son.

Next up, a first reading of The Martian.
