Just started Bag of Bones by Stephen King. Hoping it's better than the movie.
It is. It's also a lot more believable. Happy reading!

Right now I'm 100 pages into The Portrait of Dorian Grey. The story itself is kind of meh, but the writing is absolutely beautiful. Mr. Wilde sure had a way with words. Also the twist it just took (spoiler alert), with Sybyl Vane killing herself is interesting. Perhaps it'll pick up from here on out.
Saying all that, I'm a big fan of Stephen King. I'm not into horror fiction that much, but King writes so, so well. I have no hope of ever writing that well, but reading him inspires me to keep striving to do better.
Recently I picked up my first Dean Koontz book. Finally, I found another author who writes as well as King. I won't say better or on the same level, but he does write very well. It encourages me to see writing like this with everything else I struggle through. So far, I have just read The Husband. Today, I began his first in the Frankenstein series. I think I am going to enjoy going through Koontz's books as much as I enjoy reading King. I know I will never write like either of these authors, but I'm inspired to at least try to write better than Green.
I'm a big King fan, too. I tried Koontz's Velocity but had to put it down after a couple chapters. That sort of scared me away from Koontz for a while until I decided to give him another chance with Intensity. I haven't enjoyed a book that much in at least a year or two. Now I'm sort of back on Koontz again. I'm trying The Taking next.
