I really should read things a bit closer shouldn't I? The bit were the spoiler title actually says according to readers might have given it away.
Walter - have you been on the old wacky backy?
No...been awhile. The cold I think...it mounts to my head. I think that video is in Random Thoughts...skip the first 15 minutes...King starts talking about odds and ends. Might be the stain and varnish...the fumes...used to pass through the pilot light on the stove, make you think you had a gas leak. Diet...something. Gum.
My first was a Readers Digest Condensed version of Firestarter.
Well, I might have read something before that, but didn't realize it was his.
When I read Firestarter, I realized it was the same author that wrote Carrie, so I decided to read that as well and the full book Firestarter.
Just googled, and Firestarter was published in 1980. Is it possible I wasn't reading King prior to that?

Sadie is probably the character I'll remember the most. She was a strong character who had her defining moment.
...OK, unexpurgated version......better?....Do you think he published one without editing.
I'm sorry for laughing. But....I can't help it.
And the word "uncut" for the second version works.

This is my first Stephen King book. <3 I was at Goodwill with my Mom and she told me to pick a book. So I saw this cover and thought it was neat and beautiful and paid the .75 for it and read the first 100 pages in the first hour I had it. I love this book. It remains to be one of my favorites. Now I own like 60plus Stephen King books. :/ I have an addiction.
I seem to remember his telling me the first 3 Dark Tower books weren't edited--at least until he did so with the first one. But I believe what he meant by that is there was no editing done by an outside/professional editor so the only editing is what he'd done.Do you think he published one without editing.
Low Brow? Low brow to me is WWF. Reading the written word, any written word is on a higher level than most.
The Gunslinger was my first SK book, the line at the beginning always gives me chills "The man in Black fled across the Desert, and the Gunslinger followed".
Christine. I read it at 18 years of age. I've been reading his books for 33 years.
