In addition to bieng the best book I have ever read it is by far the funniest.

I hear alot of people talking about Steven King. I was overjoyed to hear somebody finally mention THE STAND. My second favorite book.

Chuck Palanuik's Fight Club is worth a read but nothing else of his is.

Oh. And East of Eden by John Steinbeck ties for first as my very favorite book.
I've never heard of Kurt Vonnegut. But i'll definately look out for Breakfast of Champions.

It's funny; I have almost all of Stephen King's works, but I haven't got round to reading The Stand yet. It's just that i've acquired most of his books recently so haven't had time to read them all yet.. And for every book of his I finished I acquire two more.. +lol+
