That's a good thing... Not a bad thing.

Well, I am feverishly playing catch up. I am an unashamed Stephen King fan, have been since I read Christine at 12... Thought Koontz was a copycat... How wrong I was. His writing is a treasure. I have yet to read a book of his which has not gripped me from start to finish. And if I'm totally honest, I can't say the same about King anymore. I am in the process of re-reading all the King books chronologically, as it's many years since I read some and frankly I was too young to fully appreciate many of them when I did read them. The Shining, for instance, is a completely different book in my 30's to what it was when I was a teen.

I was also introduced not too long ago to the writing of Dan Simmons, which I am also really enjoying.
