No, buy I did have a sought of similar experience about two years ago when I was out in the beer garden, and I had Doctor Sleep(I think) and this guy comes in with a beer, and says after a little while, 'what are you reading' and I show him the cover and he say like, 'Oh, that weirdo.' and I say how do you know he's weird? 'Oh,' he says, 'because I've seen some of his movies.' This guy never hadn't read a book. Just saw two movies based on King books.

Sure, I can read, but he hadn't read anything of Stephen King's. I think he said he saw Pet Sematary 2 on the TV a few days previously. He was not a bad bloke, told me he was going through a divorce and had to pay child support etc.

Sorry.I I realized after I had posted that I forgot the quotation marks. That wasn't directed to anyone here- just responding to the question. That came off way snarkier than I had intended. Apologies!

I think it was obvious that you meant that as "what to say to the person" Mr. Cranky is referring to.

Someone said, if you quote a person or choose "Reply" then just wait a second or two for the quote to appear and make sure you start typing after the quote. Sometimes the computer has a bit of a lag in it.

I must the be odd one out, none of my friends ever mention my collection even though most of them are in the bookcase in the lounge. I think they are bit scared of me what with all those SK books and then my serial killer collection, they must think if they mention them and I don't like what they say I may do with away with them and probably get away with it.

You do not like Stephen King? Never read him because you read good literature? You need to use the washroom? Sorry but mine is not working and the plumber has not shown up yet. Hey, I have a porta-potty out back and just down the lane. It is clean even if it is a tight fit. While you are out there, I will pour you another beer.

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?'.

ONLY if they pick up and thumbing through one of your SK books: "Yeah, I only read Stephen King books when Im on the toilet"
