Are you saying 6'/6'1" is short?  Unless you are trying to be a professional basketball player, it is most certainly not short by any means.

I was very disappointed by the time I got to the end of that. So disappointed that I ended up donating the thing to my neighborhood library thing. Don't want that in my collection anymore.

I have to admit, I'm still about one hundred pages off finishing it. You really seem to dislike the guy  naughty

I really like his earlier works. IT and The Stand still have firm places in my collection and I have fond memories of Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, Christine, Pet Sematary and others. Duma Key and Bag of Bones were even good, too.

Only ones I really don't like are Cell and the new compilation book Just After Sunset, which actually hurt me to read...really sad, considering how much fun I've had reading a great deal of his old material.

I agree totally in regards to his earlier works - loads of good reads there.  Apart from the ones you mention, Tommyknockers are also a firm fave here.   

Currently eading "Bleeding Hearts" by Ian Rankin.

I'll admit, his 80s stuff was the best, but I still enjoyed Cell and all the other newer work he has released (currently going through his novels - I read a lot of them when I was younger so re-discovering them, so to speak).

Currently reading Dennis Lehane's A Drink Before The War

Nectar in a Sieve- Holy shit, this book should have a doom metal concept album about it; I didn't expect for it to be so hopelessly depressing.  icon_eek
