Pet Sematary.

I'm reading it for my american gothic class. It's ok.

King has a bad reputation, but some books have some interesting elements to discuss, albeit treated very superficially by him.

I read Carrie by him, and I plan reading Salem's Lot later this year. This will be enough King for a while.

The Worker by Junger. It's been challenging to understand what Junger is trying to say, but so far, I think he's saying the average person (the worker) took the ideals of the elite (bourgeois) and misapplied them such that all they can do is change the social contract perpetually.
