I love pretty much anything written by Stephen King/Randy Bachman, Anne Rice/A.N. Roquelaure, John Grisham, Dean Koontz. Love their books so much, I collect them in hardcover.
I think the only books I haven't read yet by King, is the Dark Tower's Series. I am starting from the very beginning with The Vampire Chronicles and The Mayfair Witches series by Rice because I missed some of the books in between and pretty much lost my place in the serie's.
I pretty much love the same authors you have listed. I have all of the Vampire Chronicles (just haven't read them all yet). Have you read the "Sleeping Beauty" series yet, by Anne Rice (but under a different name-can't remember...thinking Roquelaure)? Just finished "Cell" by S. King not too long ago.
My two favorite authors are Piers Anthony and Stephen R. Donaldson. I went to the library to get some of Pier's new books but they come in series and they just have a few of the Xanth series but the middle ones. I was hoping Stephen R. Donaldson would write some more books. I just loved the Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever series.

I read the Dark tower series..hated it.My favorite stephen king book is The Stand...bar none.I read whatever I can get my hands on.i'm now reading the Conquerers.Its about the end of worldwar 2.great read.
I used to like Anne Rice until she made her vampires gay...I was put off by that so I quit reading her, but I love the other authors mentioned. The first 3 Dark Tower books were really good, but the last 3 sucks lol.
Right now I'm reading a book by Terry Prachett about a crazy Fairy Godmother who will destroy her own kingdom to make a happy ending for a prince come true. Least to say its a funny story
I collect all Anne Rice's books, I positively loved the Mayfair Witches Saga, and the way it all comes together at the end. I have all of her books, even those as A. N. Roquelaure, and the illustrated short stories. Only one I don't have is Christ the Child, Out of Egypt... And I am working on getting that one.
I have read only a few books by Stephn King. I have John Grisham's (most of them as weel)and Dean Koontz's. I also collect Diana Gabaldon's works (Outlander series, historic fiction) and J. K. Rawlings (duh! H.P.)
Anytime you want to discuss Anne Rice's work feel free to contact me. I am presently in the middle of a re-read of all her books (Merrick right now).
I read the Sleeping Beauty(writing as A. N. Roquelaure)and Belinda and Exit to Eden (writing as Anne Rampling)...The Servant of the Bones... And all the spin-off's from the Vampire Chronicles, called "The New Vampire Chronicles": Pandora, Vittorio the Vampire... etc.
I have only read 4 past midnight by S. King. And some short stories as well.

I've read all of the Vampire Chronicles, the Mayfair Witches, all of King 's books, including the Dark Tower series. The Dark Tower series is an amazing piece of work, with an ending that I would have never ever thought about. I've been blowing through Tom Clancy books now, and I love the Rainbow Six, as well as the Jack Ryan novels.

I have read quite a few of John Grishom's books, all great reads. Read a few Dean Koonz as well. Not into Stephen King. Don't know Raymond Feist, maybe I will look up the library and try and find him.

Anyone else up for a good read and love to do so?
