I used to LOVE King, voraciously devouring each new novel. Then he had the accident. Got sober. And his writing turned to crap for the most part. His last two novels in the Dark Tower series ruined the entire thing and made me wish I had never picked up the first book. Just horrific. Even flipping though old classics I loved I find flaws I didn't the first time. And even in my favorite by him he wrote the worst line I've ever read in a book. However I will give him credit for Revival, which was great.

Met Terry Brooks several times. Genuine nice guy. And I love his books. People give him a ton of crap for "ripping off Tolkien" in this first book without realizing how much Tolkien "ripped off" existing mythology and folklore. Inspiration is inspiration. Also, he has written a lot of best selling books since then that are really good that have nothing to do with Tolkien's themes. Like his very next book, Elfstones of Shannara, which is one of the best fantasy novels out there.
 

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and Riddle-Master of Hed are both amazing works that deserve to have their praises sung loudly. It took me years to come across them, and that is a shame.

Also, totally agree on Mieville. And I wanted to like his stuff quite a bit.

For my part, I’m going to upvote Sir Terry. For humorous books, they’re awfully profound. Downvote for Stephen King. Never been able to get into his books.
