well that's fine then. I have many books Stephen King has written, both in print and on my kindle. It's strange. Even if I don't read it right away, I still collect his works. Every once in a while I'll re-read one of his books, but mostly I just enjoy having them around, at hand. I can pick up Skeleton Crew or Night Shift when I'm needing to relax with a book (digital or otherwise). Even as a kid I was a fan. This is a true story: I once panhandled the $26.99 or whatever it was to buy the very first hardcover copies of IT when it came out. I probably shouldn't confess this, but I've even shoplifted a book or two when I was a runaway, as a kid. I remember I collected his books on my dresser when I was in a foster home, many years ago.

Ms. Mod used to have big hair, but she pulled it all out recently when the board went haywire. :biggrin-new:

Her she is in the old days

Welcome - it sounds like you've graduated from the "School of Hard Knocks" :cheerful::encouragement:

Stick around - we don't bite! :haha::m_vamp:

I do have one confession. I have somewhat taken aback when I discovered that "A Good Marriage" was nothing more than a couple stories taken from another collection. Actually, I didn't mind that so much, but Amazon purported it as a BRAND NEW COLLECTION, although it was not. It was just a republishing of older stories.

Was that a movie tie-in edition?
