Dear all (and Steve (if I may call you so)),
I'm a perfectly good example of the "Constant Reader", being born in 1957 I'm old enough to have followed you from the beginning. I've enjoyed all the stories, some more than others, of course. In particular, the best stories (to me) are "The Shining", "It" and "The Stand". I was also very pleased with "Dr. Sleep" (as I didn't expect it to be so good).
I'm Swedish, but I take care to read them in English (thanks to you, I've learned a lot of nice expressions, such as "F@ck you and the horse you rode in on"), and as you know, the English version of "Thinner" uses Swedish instead of "Romani". For example, the terrible curse "Purpurfärgade ansikted" means in Swedish "The purple colored face" (which I believe originally was picked from a Swedish copy of "The Shining").
Also, most of the movies are fine (except for "The Running Man", but I take it you didn't have much to do with that one). Especially, I liked "Storm of the Century" (but that one does not seem to be based on a book, is it?).
To get to the point: Under the Dome! A decent enough novel, but the movieworks...well, I managed the five or six first episodes. Then I lost it. Of course, I've been watching the rest like a fool, including the second season's latest episode 2. But it sucks. Twin Peaks was "strange" AND good at the same time, as was the "Fargo" 10 episodes series. But this is just strange AND bad. I know that you directed an episode, but still...
Please Steve (I wouldn't dare to call you "Steve-O", I know that you hate it) - if you have the power to end this Under the Dome sh1t, do it now!
Your faithful Constant Reader
