I've read everything Stephen King has written multiple times. Nothing beats his Dark Tower Series though.

Stephen King is one of my top 5. I don't really have a favorite though. I just like to read now and then.

i have always loved stephen king i don't no where he comes up with some of his books or movies but i love them

I recall a documentary on Stephen where he talks about how he came up with some of his ideas.  I believe he said he owned a car he called Christine.  There was also an episode of Quantum Leap where he leaped into someone who associated with a young Stephen King and showed where some of his ideas might have come from.

Me, I don't care for Stephen King movies or read his books, but I liked the movie Johnny Depp was in that someone else made from a Stephen King short story.  What was it called - The Window, The Garden?  They had to alter the name due to another movie title.

I read a lot of non-fiction, spirituality / self-help books.  My favorite authors are Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer and Gregg Bradden. :wave:

JRR Tolkien.  The scope of the world he created is simply massive.  Best fantasy author of all time.

There are a few places I've seen Stephen King discuss how he gets his ideas. In the back of some of his books he will talk about it. You can tell he borrows from different mythologies (if you're a reader).

My son recently got me reading Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games Trilogy. They may be Young Adult books but they are great. The Bartimaues Series by Jonathan Stroud are good also.

My very favorite author is Dean Koontz.  I also like Stephen King and Danielle Steele.
