title says all, i have no fucking books to read and i want to read
lovecraft, which is where king gets a lot of inspiration for his earlier stories
You might also get a kick out of Dean Koontz
Michael Crichton is really easy to get into.

[QUOTE=gottifour;49494297]read Odd Thomas, are the sequels good or anything else by him?[/QUOTE] I'd recommend Dean Koontz as well. The Odd Thomas series is really good, as is his Frankenstein series. His standalone books all have a similar formula, but he's easily one of my favorite authors. From The Corner of His Eye is a really good one.

[QUOTE=gottifour;49494297] read Odd Thomas, are the sequels good or anything else by him?[/QUOTE] I've only read The Voice of the Night, but I remember liking it. It had a sort of early Stephen King vibe to it.
