    Just finish ((may Have spoilers))

    First as many folks here know, I think Mr. King is a literary golden god and I just love his work. I love his language. I love his sense of character and he just rings my chimes. I was emotionally invested in the characters and the premise was interesting and the enigma of Evie (love the lilt...

    Walter Mosley Introduces Stephen King National Book Award 2003

    Mr. King's novels are inhabited by people with everyday jobs and average bodies, people who have to try to find extraordinary strength when they've never been anything but ordinary. Stephen King once said that daily life is the frame that makes the picture. His commitment, as I see it, is to...

    What Did You Do Today? What are you doing today?

    It was 36 this morning in OKC. Too cold to go out and walk, I decided. I went back in and looked out the window to see my 85 year old neighbor on his bicycle. I guess that's why he's 85. I layered up and trudged on out there. Maybe I will be out there inspiring someone in 30 years.

    Everyone should visit a dialysis center--its a stop gap from death but it certainly isn't life. It's a slow slog through hell. Four hours three days a week sometimes four--and you don't feel any better than when you get up. You muscles bunch up like sacks of little pebbles from dehydration...

    My dad went to Viet Nam in 68 to 69. He was a cook--at the front lines. NEVER talked about it. Except the rats. He said you went to sleep and walk up with the sound of the rats chewing through the tarp. One night a rat got through and fell on his face. In the late 90's I sent him The Things...
