IT
by Stephen King
Published in 1986 (I finished it on February 02, 2000)
Not really scary for me, yet it was very suspenseful at times. Plenty of gore too. And all the offensive things King could muster up. However, I was drawn in deep. Over 1,000 pages seemed to just fly by in this novel. One of his better books.

So many books … (you know the rest)
