Yep, I gave up on him about 20 years ago, but due to this thread I read Under The Dome last week and realized it was probably my 2nd favorite, after The Stand. This week I've started The Green Mile and realized that King's ability to tell a compelling story has only improved over the course of his career. I think I let Rose Madder and Delores Claiborne negatively influence me in the early 90's. Now I think I have some catching up to do.
