Stephen King's books have gotten me through some tough times...

Back in April of 1999 I found myself in jail. Which wasn't all that uncommon back then in my life, before my first child came into this world I was a bit of a hellion. This time was dramatically different for me. My father, my best friend, passed away while I was there. After a brief phone call to say goodbye, I was left to have to grieve alongside all the strangers in the block. It is difficult for yourself when you show weakness of any sort while incarcerated. Then thankfully that night the book cart came around. My eyes fell upon "The Stand" and I quickly grabbed it along with a couple other books that I can't remember the names of now. I read that book previously, but having the chance to be lost in one of Mr. Kings works again really helped me cope for my first few raw days of grieving. So thank you Mr. King for being such a brilliant author and delighting millions of people with your works.

Welcome to the SKMB J.House - you make me want to go pick up Revival and pick up where I left off! (think I will do that tonight before bed)

I hope you enjoy posting here - it's a great place
