I was tickled to read that Mr. King was reading the poetry of James Dickey when he was writing 'Salem's Lot, because even back in the seventies when I was still a kid, I thought that Mr. King's prose in that book approached poetry. I love it when I'm right.

I sincerely believe that he is the twentieth century's Shakespeare. Whether he will be the twenty-first century's as well, I will not know.

On the serious side, I've been saying for years that King is our generations Dickens. People line up at the bookstores when he has a new book on release day.
