    Reading nothing but King would be like eating the same food for every meal your entire life. No doubt he is good but you should read other stuff as well.

    Hi!

    I don't know about weird or healthy but, around here it's perfectly normal.

    I await each new SK book with bated breath. I do tend to re-read the books almost immediately after I have read them the first time.

    I read other fiction and I do enjoy them but, they just are not the same. I read thrillers, mystery, psychological suspense, crime, pathology, humor, contemporary and everyday family/drama. When I pick-up and read a book I know I will get one, two maybe three aspects of the above and yay! I will enjoy the read. But, with Stephen King it seems like I get all the above and more.

    Don't question it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

    (You still have a lot of SK books to read and enjoy. Get to it! )

    Peace.

    Stephen King is far and away my favorite author, but if he's the only author you read, then you are doing yourself a truly horrible disservice -- and I am 100% certain Stephen King would agree with me on that.

    yes it's healthy and no there is no one better. but I'm obsessed, so might not want to listen to my opinion on other authors....BUT I do love Robert McCammon(always have) and Dean Koontz(though not as much as I used to).

    I'm working on re reading all of King's stuff. Just finished Lisey's Story, man... what a smucking great bool! um, book. To those that said they don't like Lisey's Story., re read it!

    Next up Cell and I'm hoping I like it more the 2nd time around. There's just too much I miss or don't understand the first time so that's why I re read books., though usually only King or McCammon do I do this with.

    Don't forget to come check out Stephen King Trivia here in the social groups! It's Wednesday today, Have a Wicked Easy Day!
