I keep meaning to but never have. I've read the first 2 books in the series but have never made the effort t read the whole series. In part because King's writing just seemed to have gone downhill. The Shining, The Stand and others of his earlier works are classics well worth reading. Haven't read much of his latest books. They are on my to-do list though.

I really enjoyed the first 4. After that I think King might have lost the way... Books 5 and 6 had their moments, and number 7 was an incredible disappointment.

Are you a fan of Stross's Laundry series? The new one (The Apocalypse Codex) is a keeper...

haven't read the latest but do enjoy the series. It is a enjoyable for its humor as well as the stories themselves. Might make for an interesting television series

Fun!

I just finished reading David Brin's Existence. Not an easy read, but a good, thought-provoking story nonetheless. Worth the time.

I haven't read any of Brin's work in a very long time. I enjoyed his uplifter series. Will check out Existence.

FWIW, I just couldn't get into the Uplift books. But I loved Earth and Heart of the Comet (though of course that wasn't entirely his).

Are you a fan of Sandman Slim? I just finished book 4 (Devil Said Bang), and it is one of the best books in the series so far.
