The Pop of King
Stephen King: amazing author. We’re talking over 60 books published, an annual income of approximately $40 million (est. 1999), and America’s quintessential scary man.
So what’s he doing nowadays?
Well, one thing he’s doing is writing a one-page column on pretty much whatever he wants in EW Magazine on a biweekly basis. This week he wrote a very poignant article about Anna Nicole Smith. It’s well worth the read, and I promise it’s not scary…
Stephen King’s books I’ve read:
-The Stand
-Rose Madder
-Desperation
-The Regulators
-The Eyes of the Dragon
-The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
-Dark Tower I (soooo boring)
-The Green Mile
-Different Seasons (4 short stories, including The Shawshank Redemption)I fell in love with his writing back in high school, but never really touched on some of the classic SK. Then, after a while, I just stopped. I’m not sure if I lost interest, or just time. I was much less motivated to read his books, and partly, I think I didn’t want to keep filling my head with his stories. They WERE a little creepy…I’m so over that…

THE STAND is definitely his best book. I used to read a lot his books too, but I haven’t ready anything recently of his. I personally think he got kind of lazy in the writing department, because he knew that whatever he wrote was going to sell simply because he was the author. You really should read Salem’s Lot though…scary..
^^Yeah, I LOVED The Stand. I read the complete unabridged version…only 1100 pages.
Excellent article….
That WAS a good article. I’ve never read any Stephen King – not really into scary stuff.

I absolutely loved The Stand, loved it! The man has an out-of-this-world imagination. His talent is freaky good!
