Could I recommend for my fellow readers this site -
www.goodreads.com
It is kind of like a virtual library for the books that you have read, you can also see people comments and ratings on books that you have also read and then see what other books they like. It is a fantastic resource for books and lots of good discussions, tips etc.
Just finished rereading IT by Stephen King, the man uses pretty much every childhood fear in this novel to pretty good effect. The most disturbing part, in my view, was how the charecters, when they were children, escaped the sewers.
