TheUnknown 39 Posted August 13, 2003 If you're fan of the NJO (particularly from VP to Tr), then you'd probably like Stephen King. Great characters, unpredictability, dark themes, emotion, humor, etc. King books I'd recommend: The Shining IT (only one to ever give me nightmares) Bag of Bones Firestarter The Stand Pet Sematary (but it's very, very disturbing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chozen 1 Posted August 13, 2003 The shining is very good.. The humour is very dark.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted August 13, 2003 i tried to read Rose Red, but couldn't get into it. i really loved Dune. Dune was great. it is fast approaching the level of my SW obssession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted August 13, 2003 i tried to read Rose Red, but couldn't get into it. The general consensus with King's work are his earlier works (from the 1970s to mid-1980s) are generally better than his later stuff, sans a few books here and there.

Ender 8 Posted August 13, 2003 :lol: The Ender series by Orson Scott Card is fantastic. Lots of plot twists, unpredictability... (Is that even a word?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted August 13, 2003 I'm not too keen on Stephen King... I tried to read Pet Semetary once, but I got bored, and couldn't be bothered to carry on. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted August 13, 2003 Oops. Forgot to mention books I do like... Well aside from SW, I'm a fan of Michael Crichton. My favourites are Congo, Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Timeline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Occo, The Eternally Mana-Screwed One 0 Posted August 13, 2003 Ender's right. The entire Ender series is great, although I haven't read Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind yet. I have read Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, and Shadow Puppets...great books, especially Shadow of the Hegemon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
