Insomnia.

My dad's favorite author is Stephen King, so I decided to give his book "Insomnia" a try, since I AM looking for new things to read. I only got up to page 50-something. I put back the book because it's all grown up stuff. Try reading about a 70 year old man that loses his wife, and can't sleep. On top of that, he has a "deranged" friend, accusing a heavyset man of killing babies, and putting them in a barrel in his trunk. Also, something about a woman named Susan Day. I like mysteries like my dad, but I decided that the book was much too serious and disturbing. I didn't look forward to reading it, and that was weird. My dad's taste is too grown up for me right now. I like the way that Stephen King writes, a lot of metaphors and literary devices, it's enjoyable to read. But I just find the story itself odd. Maybe I'll try to find a more interesting book written by him. I might even read his Dark Tower series. My dad seems to like those a lot. Anybody got any suggestions for books or authors? I'm into mysteries and fantasies. Thanks =)
