I personally thought the 5th and 6th books were FANTASTIC, and the 7th was such a disappointment that it made me wish I'd never bothered finishing the series.
Black House was also a great fuckin book. I want to read The Cell, but I hear it's stylistically quite different from most of King's other novels. Aside from the ending, one of my favorite King novels has to be It. The character development in that book is unbelievable.
Coupland is fiction, and damn good fiction at that. My top recommendations would be Microserfs, Shampoo Planet, and Generation X, to start with. The rest are a bit touchy depending on your tastes.
