I was just kind of open-mouthed while I realized what I was reading and then closed the book.

It's not so much a triggering thing, just... surprise I guess. I'd always heard about what a good author King was and then I was reading this drivel. Christine wasn't any better.
A book that I enjoyed that you can do the same with is literally any of them from the "Earth Children" series. The most well known from that would be Clan of the Cavebear. But there are pages and pages of beautiful descriptions about the world around the main protagonist (and a few uh, just straight animal sex scenes. I remember one with a mamoth in particular...) that overall add nothing to the story that you can skip. Fantastic books otherwise.
