> style of writing and it's quite possible to dislike it while enjoying reading in general. Fair point, well made. I too don't like everything he's written, however I do think his short stories have a wide appeal. I was getting down on myself today for how little fiction I have read in the past 6 months, or maybe more, and King is typically a decent jump start for me. I'm currently about 120 pages in on "The Executioner's Song" -N Mailer but it hasn't captivated my imagination... I find the dialogue trite. The only other book I had with me today was "The Hunt for Red October" -T. Clancy. I've read it already, but its been like 10 years, so started in on that again even though I reread way too many books. BTW all comments were plused.
