Stephen King would be my next choice, but I'm still pissed off about the ending of the Dark Tower series.
Sometimes, just checking one more store isn't worth it

Bruce Campbell... an author ?!?! I need to look that up!
Anyways, When it come sto Star Wars novels I'll read anything Zahn writes... it's always gold.
Lately I've been reading R.A. Salvatores series' (The Dark Elf Trilogy, The Icewind Dale Trilogy, Legacy of the Drow, Paths of Darkness, The Cleric Quintet)
For anybody who is even a little into fantasy and hasn't read those I highy recomend them
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

His autobiography "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" is an absolute hoot... it's a fun little tale of a bunch of Michigan kids who had a passion to make movies and managed to make good on it. I haven't gotten around to reading his other book yet, though.
Mike Nelson is also really funny. You could throw Dave Barry in there in the same vein, too.

Here, Here, I was soo p!ssed.
However, I got back up on that horse. I recently finished "Different Seasons". The last story read like a EA Poe and was truly excellent.
I also just finished "Blaze" by R Bachman, had potential but it ended too...easy.
A lady at work has loaned my the "Bachman Books, From a Buick 8, and the Regulators", but I have to finish "Uncle Tom's Cabin" first.
I have DeBuois, "Souls of Black Folks" lined up, but I don't know how much UTC will affect me.
Other than that, I like D Koontz. F'n "Lightning" Rox!
I read a lot but I've been on a Stephen King kick for about 6 months now.

He spoke at the local university a year or two back. He's really funny, and cool. I already loved his work as an actor, but I think he's really got it going on upstairs too.
