If you like Poe, you likely have read Steven King some. Went through a phase years ago where I read most of his stuff. "Dolores Claiborne" and "The Green Mile" are his best IMO. What do you think?

I love Lee Child's Jack Reacher character and anything by Nelson DeMille.

Anyone ever use audio books for long car trips? They're free at the library, and will make a 4 hour trip go by in a flash.
Read everything King wrote when I was in the Army even under the other name of Richard Bachman (going by memory so I could be WAY OFF)?

Never read the green mile but thats a great movie so the book must be fantastic!
