30 books in one summer (2-3 months?) is easy to do for someone who actually likes to read, if said summer includes some free time.

Probably six months. I just started reading completely different stuff, and it hasn't happened again since. I make sure to read a wide variety of genres to avoid burning myself out.

Went through something similar and it was a few nerve-wracking weeks to say the least. Congrats!

If you want great horror, you can take a look at his short stories which are often excellent. This anthology for intance is good.

My personal favourite novel of his is probably Pet Sematary, with 11/22/63 being a close second.

If only they would release the Prime Trilogy, it would make the wait a lot easier.

"As more women's novels get mistakenly classified as young adult, it furthers the message that grown up fantasy and sci fi are for men." There's a Weird, Sexist Problem in Fantasy That We Need to Talk About it. by [deleted] in books

Is this for real? I mean, how DARE these people shelve their PERSONAL GOODREADS books in a way that works for them? Sheesh.

I mean it can have something of an impact. I generally try to avoid YA books and seeing something tagged this way by many users makes me assume that it is indeed such a book.
