But I'm a HUGE Stephen King fan. I've read almost everything that's been published in the U.K. and have recently discovered the joy of E-books and Audio books (I'm listening to IT on audiobook right now)

What I love most is the easy way you can fall into a book and feel all the comfort and pleasure of a comfortable armchair after a hard day.

I love that after reading much of his earlier work as a teenager I can now rediscover it through the eyes of an adult and enjoy it in a different way.

Mr King truly understands why people read stories. Not for enlightenment or or some superior transcendence to the rest of the human race with pompous prose or garbled symbolism but because we are people and people like to escape into the lives of other people. To feel kinship with a character or to revile them.

Stephen King is an inspiration to me in my own life the dogged determination he showed to hone his craft, riding rejection after rejection coming out successful at the other side. Knowing what he wanted to do and just doing it.

I am a busy person and probably won't be much of an active member here but I just wanted to put his out there into the world

Thank you Mr King
