To Diablo'; try not to read multiple books by the same author in quick succession, unless they're an actual series. You'll find that the author's style causes the books to all merge in your head. It's fine to read Stephen King just now, but you'll probably find soon enough that he's not that good an author. I've read a lot of Tom Clancy, I went through a phase of reading Clive Cussler, and for those who love William Gibson, I can recommend Neal Stephenson.
I'm halfway through Misery so after I finish it, and maybe read The Shining, I'll definately look into other authors. One thing I'm finding I don't like about Misery is the fact that it shows the actual story that the main character is writing, which is insanely uninteresting.
