I've read all of the Stephen King stuff. Definitely better than the films. The Dark Tower series is one of my favourites, after The Stand and It.
If you're into King try Imajica by Clive Barker - bloody good read that is, a bit more cerebral than the Hellraiser stuff.

Another good 'un is Wild Swans: 3 daughters of China - Jung Chang, an absolute cracker if you're into factual/historical stuff.

My prize for oddball-weirdy-drug induced shit goes to Will Self. Interesting if somewhat baffling at times! lol

Stuff I'm chugging through at the moment:

A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth
The Unconsoled - Kazuo Ishiguro
A Town like Alice - Nevil Shute (I probably read this once every year or so - one of my faves)

I read probably 3 or 4 books a week. I don't sleep a lot - lol
