Stephen lives up a couple of towns from me .... and I have to admit I never have read any of his books ....too chicken! Don't like scary. Both he and his wife do wonderful things around here.

I have heard that about him, also... It is nice to know that money doesn't always go to everyone's heads 8)

beachlady-
I keep wondering where your avatar is...if you don't mind sharing. (If you do, I understand, cyberspace and all)...I'm a born-and-bred Mainiac or Mainer, whichever you prefer.

I love his books. There are 3 that stand out to me. Bag of Bones: intense, but soooo powerful. Cujo: lame I know, but to feel how the poor dog didn't understand just broke my heart. I was so mad after the movie, they just didn't get how much he loved his family. Dolores Clairborn: I've never read anything written from that point of view. Again, the movie had it all wrong.

Now, I can't wait to read the new one!!!!

My personal Stephen King favorite is "The Stand". The character development and intricacies of the story make it so very believable. I have seen the movie about 4 times, and it goes 3 hours!! His very best by far.....but then again, Stand By Me was also great!! Wonderful story!

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only 58 yr old quilting grandma who loved Stephen King and Dean Koontz! My kids think I am sooooooo weird - I do all the "mom" and "grandma" stuff ~ but behind closed doors I love reading King and Koontz!! So nice to know that maybe, just maybe, I am normal! LOL
