And while I've got the attention of all these book people, did any of you ever read Stephen King's It?? Ok, put aside all your collective prejudices about how King writes Pop Horror for the masses (because that's what I had to do...), and just read it and get back to me. I read it 4 months ago and I'm STILL trying to figure out what I read. It's a really bizarre combination of slasher horror/folk myth/metaphysical fantasy.
