Cthulhu
I've been reading some Stephen King myself. Kind of going back and re-reading his early, better work to reassess my opinion of his work. So I'm reading The Stand right now (I was actually reading Salem's Lot only to discover the copy I had was missing pages. D'oh!). Also read Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption a couple of weeks ago.
I'm also finishing up a collection called Stark and the Star Kings, by Edmond Hamilton and Leigh Brackett. It's an excellent but slightly odd book - it begins by reprinting Hamilton's The Star Kings, then it reprints the three Eric John Stark novellas by Brackett, then Hamilton's Star Kings sequel, Return to the Stars, and then finishes up with a rough draft of a story that crosses the two series over, which was written by both Hamilton and Brackett. Great old pulp sci-fi.
I'm also reading Conquistador, by SM Stirling. It's a sci-fi story in which a disgruntled WWII vet accidentally opens a portal in his basement to an alternate Earth in which America was never colonized by Europeans, so he rounds up some of his war buddies and they decide to colonize it. The book is kind of a slog, mostly because it's just really overwritten with lots of extraneous details and go-nowhere characterization, but it's kept me sufficiently interested that I keep reading. I keep feeling like I'm just on the verge of it cutting loose with the action
