I've not read much King. Heart's in Atlantis and 11/22/63.
It's fascinating, his prose isn't beautiful but he captures human emotion in a very visceral way. I understand why people read him.
Insomnia was the first book from King that I read and had a real emotional connection to a story.
Even if you haven't connected on other stories. That one was so good on a human level.
