@Ben! Haven't got around to re-read Salem's Lot yet. What is it about that one that makes you like it?

@Ben! I remember thinking it was kinda boring because nothing really happened (the slow burn approach) when I read it as a teenager. I guess I wasn't too interested in the "building up suspense"-parts at that time in my life.

On the other hand I think I might enjoy it more as an adult, just because of that. ;)

@Stephen King Journey Almost afraid to say it, but "It", "The Stand" and "Firestarter". (Bear in mind, though, that this applies to the books being re-read. I loved all three when I read them as a teenager.)

"It" was my all time favorite horror novel from the time I read it as a teenager up until I re-read it a couple of years ago. It's probably just the contrast of remembering it as the most terrifying thing I've ever read (I had nightmares about the scene in the junkyard with the refrigerator), to being "just another horror novel".

"The Stand". Just finished that one. I never really connected with the characters or bought into the whole religious/christian duality of good vs evil - or any of the supernatural elements for that matter. This had been so much more interesting if Randall Flagg had been a regular person.

"Firestarter" felt like a dime-a-dozen suspension novel with some supernatural elements thrown in for good measure.
