I agree... Mr King is brilliant. I feel bad that I didn't really start to give him my full attention until about 8-9 years ago... I come from a family of PROLIFIC READERS and as I was growing up my Father would do creative things to EXPAND my reading repertoire...
For example... For every ONE book that I chose from the library to read...he got to choose A DIFFERENT AUTHOR AND GENRE for me to complete and report back on... We also spent most of our week-ends in those used book stores where you could exchange 2 books for 1... In the 70's and 80's this was a GREAT DEAL and when you read as much as my family did, we thought it was the best store on the planet...😊
So, my younger child noticed I was reading "Fire Starter" about 9 years ago...a long time favorite of mine and one I was re-reading it and becoming reacquainted with an old friend... My children asked me about the book and I described the book to them and they became intrigued...up until that point, my children were more familiar with Stephen King 's MOVIES...
After a bit of discussion... We came up with a PLAN to start READING a new KING BOOK TOGETHER... Then watching the MOVIE immediately AFTERWARDS...if possible...(Excluding Gerald 's Game...😳🤷♀️🤦♀️)..
I'm a bit of a SCAREDY CAT during HORROR FILMS... SO, you can IMAGINE MY CHILDREN'S AMUSEMENT when I kept SCREAMING & JUMPING OFF THE COUCH when we were watching "MISERY"!!!LOL 😂
NO ONE SHOULD LET KATHY BATES HAVE A HAMMER!! 😳😳😳
Here we are 9 years later and I'm still trying to as KING SAYS "BATTLE MY ADDICTION WITH ADVERBS"...SMDH .. But fyi, while I was reading "Salem 's LOT" I liked to jokingly tell MR. KING, that I am not the ONLY ONE ADDICTED TO ADVERBS!! LOL 😂 🤓
