I second that emotion.
The impossible has become possible, since SK first put pen to paper.
And the unthinkable has come to pass.
SK is a chronicler of the past and has stood on the threshold of the future and said 'enter with care'.
I think SK will be up there with Dickens eventually.
Usually, people fall down laughing when I say this, but I mean it (besides, it's fun to make other people laugh).
Dickens didn't appear fully formed as a literary novelist (sorry, this link is to a long article, but stick with it):
The Atlantic | May 2002 | Dickens Our Contemporary | Lodge
And as for Friend Kindle?
Well, if I'm reading a zombie saga, Kindle for PC(or laptop - thank you, Amazon!) is perfect.
But if I'm reading Wolf Hall or Bring Up the Bodies (again) - only a book will do.
Totally irrational, I know.
The world is big enough for Kindle and hard copy.
