What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I've not read much King. Heart's in Atlantis and 11/22/63.

It's fascinating, his prose isn't beautiful but he captures human emotion in a very visceral way. I understand why people read him.

I think short stories are where he shines. Given a lack of constraint, he tends toward rambling on details that bog me down.

Insomnia was the first book from King that I read and had a real emotional connection to a story.

Even if you haven't connected on other stories. That one was so good on a human level.
