I loved IT, but I was also 12 or so when I read it. Totally agree with you on Misery (and when I read it the first time, I was a young teen and had no clue about any of the writer-stuff in it). I didn't like Gerald's Game--it actually bored me. His work did definitely shift (a few times, imo) and some of the shifts have worked for me and some haven't.

My opinions on some of his more recent(ish) books:
- Dark Tower series - fucking awesome with a pretty weaksauce last book (I just ignore the crappy parts)
- 11-22-63 - fucking awesome
- Lisey's Story - I was bored
- Cell - nope
- Joyland - meh
- Hearts in Atlantis - yep
- The Green Mile - hell yes (despite the use of the "Magical Negro" trope oh god)
- The Stand - hell yes (but what is with him and the above fucking trope Jesus fuck)
- Bag of Bones - yep
- Duma Key - pretty good
- Under the Dome - pretty lame

By Straub, I've read The Talisman (of course!), Shadowland, and um... Black House?

Take my geek card away--I never got into graphic novels, mainly because it was either buy those or buy CDs and I chose CDs. I liked Anansi Boys a lot and own a BPAL perfume based on it that I love. Neil Gaiman seems awesome. I cannot stand Amanda Palmer (don't even get me started).

Neverwhere - is it really worth it? I have it on my Kindle and I want to read it, but somehow it never happens.
