By far my favorite is Stephen King. His writing is all interconnected. He mixes romance, adventure, mystery, fantasy, reality, horror all together. He IS a legend imho. Can't wait for the last of the Dark Tower series to be released.

It is varied, but it is all connected somehow or another in one huge, vast, varied universe. The Green Mile, The Dark Tower Series, The Talisman, Black House, Eye of the Dragon are all my favorite King books. I'd never have the patience to read The Stand (although it is one of King's best works I'm told). King is more than best-selling author, he is a writer who takes inspiration from J.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Ring series and a Robert Browing (?) poem Childe Rolande and the Dark Tower (?).

He added back in, like 1,000 pages they made him cut when it was first published. It is my all-time favorite SK book. I have read it several times. -- ladyday, 00:25:59 07/13/03 Sun

I know!! It ties into the Dark Tower books so I'm sure I'll eventually read it like next summer or something (during school I am much too busy to read long books like that). Thanks for recommending it and letting me know it's worth reading.
