Heck, in my family, I'm synonymous with reading--I've been doing it since I was three (my parents told me that after my first days of school, I was frustrated with being taught things I already knew). Novels, short stories, magazines, elaborate online articles... I read 'em all (not with music, though--I can't concentrate like that). One thing, though--I can't stand most of the classics. Frankenstein? A mess. Tale of Two Cities? A massive irritation. The Chosen? It literally gave me a headache.
I think I already detailed my favorite books/authors in a separate thread, so I won't trouble you with that.
As for Stephen King, most of his stuff I read has been short stories, which are indeed weird (The Lawnmower Man, anybody?). I think the only novel of his I read was one of the Richard Bachman ones (The Long Walk--does for hiking what Jaws did for water).
