Misery - Stephen King

I suspect only Stephen King could write 338 pages about a guy stuck in a room and make it fascinating. At first it struck me as slightly similar to Gerald's Game, but it was only a passing, superficial similarity that quickly dissolved as the story developed. In Gerald's Game, Jessie is fighting herself (mostly) where as in Misery, Paul has a 100% legit wacko to deal with.  Personally, I'd say Misery is the better of the two for that reason. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes an intense book.
This book also has two GREAT quotes I'd like to share with you:

"He didn’t need a psychiatrist to point out that writing had its auto-erotic side – you beat a typewriter instead of your meat, but both acts depended largely on quick wits, fast hands, and a heartfelt commitment to the art of the far-fetched."

"The reason authors almost always put a dedication on a book, Annie, is because their selfishness even horrifies themselves in the end."
