    Stebbins: can you highlight the newly added when you update?

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

    ok, thank you, now one more thing to do: move It and Wolves from where you put them by mistake to the top where they belong

    I have been thinking of moving IT (the middle part of my list is already hard because of how much I like King's writing). However, WotC will not be moved until I go through the series again, which will not be happening until, Lord willing, I get through everything he has written first. [Currently reading, and liking 100 pages in, The Dark Half.]

    Jean: I loved it. Grant it, it has been too long since I read the DT series, but Joyland really spoke to me. I have come to love hard-boiled noir this summer, and a lot of King's messages hit home. I might flip it with Duma Key, but yes, it is firmly up there with the greats for me. To be fair, I think Salem's Lot and everything above it is amazing work (and, with one or two exceptions, everything below it is quite good).

    I shit you not, Comrade. SL was slow (and over-hyped) for me. I think it's a great vampire novel, but not one of King's best. Rage also hit me hard, and gave me encouragement as a writer. The writing is still superb, it's just not as expansive. And the themes spoke to me.

    Also, every pick 30 and above is still rated 'Good' for me. My ranking is based mostly on which story captured me the most.

    And yet, you wouldn't think that the ursine population were so intrigued by "lists, counting and ratings". I guess you really can't "judge a book by its cover".

    No, bears are inrgued only by how their friends compose those lists

    then, they are fascinated with statistics of all kinds... it always tells so much more than meets the eye (actually, it doesn't tell shit about its subject, but tells a lot about the participants)
