Same here.I can never hear those words without thinking of how they're said in Monty Python.
I agree,is there nothing like opening a brand new SK novel,in it's pristine condition,feeling the spine bend,smelling the brand new pages,slowly paging past the blanks to the printing edition page,the dedication page,and the first words?And the reverse,I have a copy of IT that I have read probably twenty or thirty times,it is shopworn,patched with tape,but it was my first edition that I bought at a store,no longer in business,in fact many people in my city never even knew it existed..kind of like my own time machine..yes,I know you can fit all the books you want into your palm sized ereader,but there is nothing like a real book..
Here’s my copy of Christine...

Like it or not,books will be eventually be gone someday,all will be on ereaders,computers,etc..it will take some time,but eventually..when is the last time you saw a corded phone hanging on a wall,or even a payphone,for that matter?Technology will be doing away with a lot of the stuff we used to take for granted..

Really? I'm sorry I missed that - I was going to comment that we actually bought a pressure cooker which I like to use for certain recipes - makes the meat nice and tender....given the recent blasts with pressure cooker devices, and the maiming and death in Boston-this was not only an out of place comment, but wildly inappropriate.....
I think there is a pic of Stephen King and his family in a big room (it was posted here a while back) and they actually have one of those old fashioned phones - a black one on the wall with a long curly cord - not sure if it was push button or dial type!Like it or not,books will be eventually be gone someday,all will be on ereaders,computers,etc..it will take some time,but eventually..when is the last time you saw a corded phone hanging on a wall,or even a payphone,for that matter?Technology will be doing away with a lot of the stuff we used to take for granted..
Nothing sinister in his comment (as far as I can tell at least)I wondered whether it had some sinister significance. A friend in New York works near enough to have heard one of the latest blasts....
Sorry to quote myself but the 10 minute edit time was upI think there is a pic of Stephen King and his family in a big room (it was posted here a while back) and they actually have one of those old fashioned phones - a black one on the wall with a long curly cord - not sure if it was push button or dial type!
That pic makes my heart feel good,that they were that happy on that day..family is indeed everything..Sorry to quote myself but the 10 minute edit time was up
That's just a titch worse than my original copy of Different Seasons The paper in that one is like linen these days, it's been read so often--of course, it started with good paper. Newer paper is such crap. Books now disintegrate if you read them too much.Here’s my copy of Christine...
