I would like to ask him if he ever gets emotional,maybe misty or even sheds a tear,when a resourceful,brave,good person,one of the the protaganists of a story,dies..or is he so intent on the details and playing out the storyline that he just continues on to finis without really dwelling on it much..

I read IT a while ago and I can't remember the names of the kids but I remember Henry Bowers tries to
cut his name into the fat one and I never understood why he didn't tell his mother about it. Was he scared that Bowers was gonna come after him if he told anyone?
That bit just never made sense to me. So that's what I'd ask.

Well... many many books have made me cry.. but Lovely Bones has really stuck in my head and heart. Anyone read that book? Of course, they made a movie a few years back.. but as usual, nothing like the book.
I read a book that the movie "Precious" was based on (I think it was called Push?) and there was a part in there that made me cry.
Quite a few Stephen King books made me cry (Joyland comes to mind off the top of my head).

Yeah that is a good question. I actually never thought why didn't he tell I just assumed he didn't say anything because he was also holding a secret about pennywise and adults were in this different category then kids. But I read this book when I was both a kid and a grown up. but when I read it as an adult I am stuck in the child perspective not the adult and that question just never popped up good one.

Lovely Bones made me cry
If i had to admit it which i wont my eyes may have been watering during The green mile book and movie. Hearts in Atlantis book and movie and the Shawshank redemption movie. But I watched those all when i was way to young to be watching that stuff. And i am glad i did. Because if i watched or read them all as a grown up maybe they wouldn't be so magical to me I don't know

I got a good one

Who would win in a fight Dolorise Claiborne or that Cocodoodie nurse Annie. Not a verbal debate an all out brawl.

I changed my mind again I would ask

If your publishing company said you have to do a contest where a fan gets to win a chance to spend one hour talking about books (not necessarliy yours) or one hour of a jam session which would you choose? Which....would you.......chooose?

I would ask 2 things. One is (tiny spoiler) does he have notebooks laying around of unpublished works like in finders keepers. The 2nd would be , does he have notes left around from all his past works laying around from when he was orginal ly was writing them. Now that would be cool to own something like that. Think of all the ideas that were scrapped
