Since then, I've gone through stages where I don't read his books for a decade, then read a couple, then don't read 'em for a decade...lather, rinse, repeat. <i>Mr. Mercedes</i> brought me back to the fold. I enjoyed the entire trilogy and have since read <i>The Institute</i> and <i>Billy Summers</i>.
