I am reading Wind through the Keyhole right now, while I'm on a work trip, and found myself staying up late the other night inadvertently as I couldn't put it down. This is a common thing for me when reading King's book. Obviously it's related to the content, but I think it's also the way he paces them.
I'll read a shortish chapter, get to the end and want to read more. Then I encounter a few more shortish chapters, decide it's not that much more to read another chapter and keep going. After a few these there's a longer chapter that stretches things out and really engrosses me.
I noticed this in the current book, and remembered I'd run into this with other of his works. But I'm not sure if that's accurate. Has anyone else noticed this? It would make sense for a writer of his talents to be able to use the actual length chapters to add to the tension.
