My son and I are going to see King and Lee Child Wednesday! Looking forward to it!
Great to see some board members going to this event. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
I read a Meg Gardiner on Mod's recommendation. It was great.Try Meg Gardiner's books. They're mystery/suspense, she has a great sense of humor, and several of our SKMB members have been included as characters.
Had a great time last night. Lee and Steve are a lot alike both physically and disposition which made for a very comfortable flow of conversation. Was told they'd sold about 800 tickets so a good crowd on hand. Have started reading Make Me and it's classic Jack Reacher. Steve told me and the audience later that there is a surprise in store for us that even took him unawares. That's got me really curious.
Oooo! Never read a Reacher book. Adding one to the TBR to check it out.
Sounds like Steve made to the transition from interviewer pretty seamlessly. How did the question period - if there was one - go? Did anyone try to ask Steve questions instead of Lee?

My 16 year old son and I went last night also. Thought they were interesting and funny together. My son adores King and sees the world the way he does (!) He now wants to read the Reacher novels. King looked great and seems thrilled with the award he is getting today. A great night!
I'm reading it now. I love Reacher. Wasnt there a Army Major in Under The Dome named Reacher?
There were some directed to both of them about writing but can't remember any specifically for Steve.
There was and that was a nod to Jack Reacher.
I thought King did a great job with the Q&A. He is very funny, and at ease onstage. Made for a very enjoyable evening. Helped there was air conditioning too!!
Sadly, they didn't make the fashion cut.
The program was taped by WGBH and as soon as it is uploaded to YouTube, Harvard Book Store will send us the link and we will post it so anyone who missed the show can watch it.
Just saw it on utube. 
Will have to re-watch, I was skipping some of the Lee Child parts.
SK talked about The Green Mile and the movie. I had no idea that Michael Clarke Duncan (R.I.P, Sai) was not that huge in real life. Big in the sense of muscles but not tall. Interesting. He spoke of up-shots and Tom Hanks standing in a hole for some scenes.
