I like his short stories collections, like Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I like Rose Madder, the Four Seasons novellas and The Green Mile.

I hated The Girl who loved Tom Gordon and I have the paperback version, same with Dreamcatcher... I want to own all his books in the future, even if I haven't liked them when I have read some part of them in a bookstore or when someone has lend them to me.
(Are you a GG fan? I actually felt sad when I knew this was the last season. I mean, sad... This is the first time this has happened to me with a tv series. It's the only one I watch every week, like clockwork. I actually sit to watch it, something I never do [I?m always doing something else when I have the TV on]. I can stop watching the other series I sometimes watch right this second and never watch an episode again, I truly don't care, but I really liked GG. I never realized it until I knew about its cancellation and my subconscious obsession with the series came to the surface. Same happened to me with Madonna when I came to college. I never thought of myself as her fan, until I gathered all my favorite CDs to bring with me and saw I had every single one of hers, hahaha.)

I think you would like the series because they talk about books a lot, especially in the seasons 1 - 3. I also liked all the oscure pop culture references and indie music in the episodes. That changed in the last seasons, but it was still there.
Rory became annoying in seasons 5 and 6 but she improved greatly in season 7. Some other things happened in season 6 that I disliked terribly, but still it was my favorite series ever.
About King, hehehe, I have read that a lot of people don't like his last books. I have liked them the same. I liked Cell very much. What about the rest of you? Do you prefer the old King?

I have also read The Langoliers and The Shawshank Redemption[/] I'm also currently enjoy Blaze which he wrote under the name of Richard Bachman. The best part of it is the description of how Blaze peers into the sleeping couple's room while he is climbing up the ladder to kidnap their child. Not a bad read at all, hope to have it done later tonight.

Pet Sematary
Night Shift
I'm a huge fan. Read almost all his works but those would have to be my favorite 3. Never read any of the Gunslinger or Dark Tower series.
