Great books

[stigmata]

Some other Great Authors:

Cervantes
Herman Hesse
Thomas Mann
Vladimir Nabakov
John Steinbeck

It's hard to pick out a single book by any of these, with the exception of Cervantes, but I guess he frigging invented modern fiction for all the others on this list.

So Don Quixote gets my vote.

i don't really read non poker books, but a book i always enjoyed reading was "the invisible man." I forgot who wrote it, it's an older book, but a great read.

Gunslinger is a waste of your time. I'm not saying its bad, but just not worth the time to read it.

The first two books are good but then King just gets lazy.

And that Jake kid you mentioned, he comes back in a later book. So it's not like King is just throwing him away. It's to help build the complex universe that the story takes place in.

Oh, and King writes himself into the story. Since he did that I haven't touched another one of his books. I think this is something an 8 year old would do.

I loved the Gunslinger series... I thought it was pretty lame that King would put himself in to his books - but I was willing to look past it.

I hated the ending. HATED IT. I spent many hours reading 7 books only to get the single stupidest, most unsatisfying story ending I have ever been exposed to. That includes movies - and we know how bad some of those can be. The last few pages of the final book were awful.

I honestly feel like that ending ruined the awesomeness that was the Dark Tower series... I re-read books a lot, and I would never touch one of them again.

"Invisible Man" or "THE Invisible Man"? The first one, by Ralph Ellison, is a book about race and the second is by HG Wells.
