...wow, just wow...King has NOTHING to prove, nor is it a matter of money...he makes more in royalties and the like-than the "attention grabbers of this generation" can ever dream of...I know what you're trying to say, but it came off the wrong way to me...

That might be in how you read the post more then how the post was written.

To me, the part you quoted was saying it is not about money. It's about King walking through with his elbows up, knocking every other author aside while he retakes his seat at the front.

(I loved Dr. Sleep, and am forcing my way through Joyland. But, I think (expect) Mr. Mercedes is going to be one of his better books. Maybe not quite up there with The Stand.....but in the top half.)

I didn't take it that way at all! I think what he was trying to say was that King has once again written something that outshines any other author.
