Aw man, Insomnia gets so much hate. I listened to the audiobook recently and I really enjoyed it. I thought Eli Wallach gave a really great performance. I admit the story goes in quite a few directions, and SK goes off on unnecessarily long descriptive tangents, but I thought that kind of makes sense given the protagonists age and insomnia. The Dark Tower tie-ins with the Crimson King/Patrick Danville was definitely not what I expected, but by the end I was glad to have listened.
I've been on a Stephen King audiobook spree since last year. I listen to them on long bike rides. So far I've listened to The Talisman, Black House, Carrie, and IT. Stephen Weber's performance of IT is outstanding. Currently trying to get into Salem's Lot, but finding it to be kind of boring...
