Right now I'm still reading The Joy Luck Club, but I've also started the Batman:Knightfall series of comic books (at my husband's encouragement). It's pretty good so far.

I won't argue Hemingway's brilliance, but apples and oranges, ya' know?
What have you read of Faulkner's?

I'm re-reading The Great Gatsby. God, it's almost the perfect novel.

As I already stated I read As I Lay Dying in high school in addition to that I've read Light in August, The Sound and Fury, Requiem for a Nun and Go Down, Moses they'd be better if Faulkner's writing wasn't pointlessly hard to follow at times.

Stephen King? He's pretty laughable imo.

also one of the best selling novelists of all time... sure he cant end a story but the dark tower series, and all his tie in mythology to that series is his best work.

Man that's a lot of reading just to find out you don't like his work. And your right, his work can be terribly hard to follow. The meta-narrative in Absalom Absalom is brutal.

His writing's really clunky is more the problem than his endings.
