When I was in HS and college my mom would get me the latest King hardback for birthday or christmas. I've always loved his 'non-horror' stuff, like The Body, from which Stand By Me was made, or Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.
I got his latest collection of short novels from the library and only read one before I had to return it. I may give it another shot but the story I read didn't really do it for me.
And he is STILL carping about getting hit by that car. Yeah, it was subtle but he was absolutely whining about being hit by a car and being a celebrity.
Of course, if I were hit by a car I might feel similarly. Of course, if I were a multi-millionaire I might feel differently.
Right now reading I'm reading Good Faith by Jane Smiley. It's not my favorite of her books that I've read. Really way too much detail into the crazy madcap world of real estate. I guess real estate just isn't my bag, baby.
