I've kept up with him because I do enjoy his work. I actually own the Dark Tower series but I have yet to read it. I have no idea why I haven't, I guess I just never got around to it. XD
Also, holy bonkers. I wasn't expecting much of a response to this thread but that's fantastic. I'll read everything you suggested that I haven't already. I love reading but I haven't really been able to choose anything for lack of suggestions; I have no idea where to start or what to look at. XD You've been very helpful and I very much appreciate it.~ ^.^
As a fairly avid reader and English major, happy to help! Honestly, if you're a big fan of King and own (yet haven't read) the Dark Tower series, just start there. There are eight books now (Wind in the Keyhole, set between books five and six is optional, but a good read) and will last you quite a bit. I really can't recommend anything higher than that series.
Also, Fight Club is quite good. If we're getting into what I would consider modern classics, I'd also throw in things like 1984 and Brave New World. 1984 is a bit hard to get through, not because of density, but rather, that book is all kinds of messed up and will honestly terrify you in ways you never thought you could be scared. At least it did for me haha
