    I’m reading 11/22/63 at the moment. The sheer scope and breadth of it is absolutely incredible. I will be sad when I have to say goodbye to George and Sadie.

      That was my first King book because I'm a JFK fanatic. I picked it up breezily at Barnes & Noble with other books. I always thought King was "beneath" me as an old English Lit major 🙄, but 11/22/63 started my intense passion and search for every one of his books. I recently finished Fairytale and deliberately put it down so I could savor it. King is the greatest.

    I was always an avid reader, and started reading King at age 10 - 12, after I pulled one of his books from my mother's book shelf and got instantly hooked.
    And while I can't pretend that I have read ALL his books _(no fan of the "Dark Tower"-books)_ - I have read MOST of them. PLUS all the R. Bachman books, of course.
    And the vast majority of all those books are simply great!

    I have no idea if Stephen King will ever see this comment, but just in case... I keep watching all the interviews you do, and towards the end, people usually have time to ask you a question. Here's mine. Would you ever consider writing a novel or short story about Al and all the crazy stuff he did when he discovered the rabbit hole? I just find 11-22-63 so damn fascinating and incredible. I was just curious if we'd ever get any more stories about that. I'm 38 years old and basically grew up in a house full of dysfunction. Not much reading went on. It was more survival at most times. That honestly delayed me in anything related to school, learning, etc. My point is, now, as an adult, I'm sorta on this adventure of backtracking all the things I missed out on. I've learned so much about world history, and I've read so many books. I keep a list in my journal each time I learn a new word or finish a book. I started with The Hobbit, then went on to eventually finish The Lord of the Rings. I read all seven Harry Potter novels. Every time I'd go to the book store or library, I'd see Stephen King books and be so curious about what lied within the pages but my self esteem was poor, I didn't think I was smart enough to get through them. Boy, i really cheated myself out of earlier experiences. I have read and enjoyed Pet Cemetary, 11-22-63, It, and I'm currently starting Mr. Mercedes. Thank you for your hard work. My life is truly better knowing these characters from your stories. Lonesome Dove is my next big challenge. 😊

    I have loved King's writing from the first book I picked up, The Shining. I had to put it down because it absolutely terrified me! But I found Thinner and made it through and I haven't stopped reading his works ❤ I finally finished The Shining when Dr. Sleep was released and loved the seamless continuation. Thank you for never giving up and sharing your imagination with us, Mr. King!!!

    I'm a "read-a-holic"... even as a child if I was doing something that didn't engage my mind then I read while I did it if I could... for instance if I was eating cereal in the morning I was also reading. Like Stephen I love books that I can't put down. It's funny though... my first Stephen King novel in High School was Salem's Lot. It was one of the very few modern novels that my 11th grade honors English teacher allowed on our reading list. And I actually DID have to put it down for a day or two. He is so great at making what you're reading visual and real. That scene where the child vampire is floating in the window really did scare me! *lol* I put it down a short time after reading it. When the movie came out I know they did their best to make it as good as the book.... but nothing is better than what Stephen can put in your mind. I know they recently remade it (which I've been hoping for)... but haven't released it. I'm guessing it still isn't up to the level it needs to be. Hopefully one day it will be remade in a way that is much closer to the book visually. I have not come close to reading ALL of his books. I read a wide ranging variety of books and there's just not enough time for all of them. I even listen to audio books while driving. BUT... I love knowing I have more Stephen King to discover for awhile to come yet!

    We blink the way the headless horseman rides;
    how pounds the heart! his gallop on the bridge.
    Commitments tame the dreadful course of Time.
    A bower parodies the guillotine.
    There, couples smile while cheating Death
    with bowed foreheads and lips about to meet
    where in Love’s kiss eternity is fetched.
    This bond assists the newlywed’s escape,
    and laughing at the hooves behind their backs.
    The horseman’s tricked to stop at thrown bouquets,
    and at the graveyard groove they hide at last.
    With quiet giggling behind tombstones
    two hands between two stones are still eloped.

    I love King's writing and have been reading him for 30 years now. I don't need to agree with his politics, but if he's going to go there in a novel, he needs to spend more time figuring out why people disagree with him, if only because there's no other way to create realistic characters. It's like he imagines that everybody who disagrees with him is a hopeless imbecile or a comic book villain. Two dimensional characters are just the hallmark of bad writing, and King isn't a bad writer, so it's frustrating and disappointing. If he really is this clueless about the views of the other side of the political aisle, then he needs to just leave politics out of his books entirely. It just takes you out of the book and ruins it.

    He is a very talented writer, no doubt. I'm not a big fan even though I'm a voracious reader. My complaint about his work is there's a lot of filler in many of his works. His ability to keep the reader interested is second to none & often the story could've been told compellingly in half pages. I surmise this may have been the publishers influence wanting to give the reader his monies worth selling a thick book. Even so, never got bored with a book he's written & not all fall victim to that criticism.

      Fond of his earlier books, but the man hasn't a clue about Trump.
