Best sarcastic response when someone sees my Stephen King book collection?

Random question for you all - wondered if anyone had had the same thing happen.

I have a large bookshelf in my spare room where I keep all my Stephen King books and associated literature. I wouldn't call it a shrine (there are no candles or alters or anything) but I like to keep them all together. I have pretty much all his work so, it's not a small shelf!

Whenever I have guests over who see the bookshelf I get the same question. 'Oh, do you like Stephen King then?'. I started by responding normally but over time I have been developing a repertoire of irreverant responses.

I first just said 'No, not really' and then changed the topic. My current favourite response is to say 'Yes, but not for the stories - if you read the first word of the second paragraph of the second chapter of each book it explains the existence of the illuminati and their influence on the world'. I then touch my nose in a conspiritorial way and wink.

Anyway, anyone else have any good lines I could use?

-"Where do you see Stephen King? Seriously, have you had your medication adjusted lately?"
-"No that's my entire collected series of dwarf porn, the SK dust jackets make a dandy camouflage though"
-(with a very shocked expression on your face)"OH MY GOD!!! They're back!!!!.....(and then run screaming from the room)

I am a rather sarcastic person but I like to think I do it in good humour rather then just be a miserable so and so. I personally think a good dose of sarcasm is healthy and the HIGHEST form of wit. Hence why King fans are sarcastic.

I liked this but then got confused as to whether it was sarcasm on my sarcasm. Think this is possibly too meta for me (or is it? Arghh)
