I used to love King, in college, and I've read a lot of James Patterson too. I call it bubble gum for the brain. Not necessarily good for you but still fun once in a while.
I tend to like individual books more than authors, Dune, Ender's Game, and Hyperion are all examples of books I loved, but really didn't like or couldn't get through the sequels.

Yep, guilty of being a D&D (among other games) nerd (and have been for 25 years  , with a new campaign having started just 2 weekends ago). I've been curious about Gaiman but most of the time anymore, I'm limited to whatever the local Wal-Mart happens to get in (in addition to my personal library, which admittedly is huge, but growing much slower than it used to).
I've read all of the Dune books (except the newest one Paul of Dune ), all of the Ender series (again, except the new one). I still think that Ender's Game is the best of the whole series, and plan on introducing it to my son (once he's done reading all the Dragonlance novels  , he's a huge reader like I used to be). Hyperion sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't think it is one I've read yet.
