    Before and after drinking.....

The interviewer asked her if she thought her husband would have produced such amazing poetry if he hadn't been an alcoholic, suggesting it was somehow a necessary part of his talent. She said that if he hadn't drank he would have produced...

    The Stand, at last

    I will do that. Seems like the perfect time to read it - cold and windy outside, no wish to leave the house. 30 pages in, already loving it.

    The Stand, at last

    Stephen King reads for sunny weather

    Hey people, I haven't been on here for a LONG time. Anyway, weird question, but any recommendations for an SK book that sort of works with sunny weather? Have read Duma, IT, TommyKnockers, Shining, and most of the shorts, so any except those! Thank you......
