Like I needed to love Stephen King more

Dec 06, 2009 22:06

I was looking up stuff on the new IT movie (which I can find nothing concrete on. Shouldn't there be a cast by now?) when I came across this article:

"The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."Apologies to all Twilight lovers, but I just adore when people I ( Read more... )

I love that there is someone on my flist who hates Twilight as much as I do.

I don't just hate. I LOVE to hate. My sister refuses refuses to bring up Twilight to me anymore because of how gleefully I "ruin it for her."

I love that quote. And it's so right on. I loved Stephen King thirty times more after reading it. LOL.

I never thought it was possible to love him more. Sigh. Loved that man since I was thirteen ( ... )

I haven't read much of Stephen King's (aside from columns!) but you've totally inspired to read more. I have a collection of his short stories on my iPod that I loved listening too, and I'm reading the first Dark Tower book now. He's so good with imagery ( ... )

I know a guy who grew up in King's town, apparently he used to pull pranks on people by serving coffee, mundane shop stuff, etc and nobody had any idea who he was. I've only read a few books by him but his articles are always a joy :)

If you want to read more, I'd be happy to tell you which ones I'd start with.

That article was awesome! I agreed with every word he said, in fact, and dude, I am the biggest Twilight fan I know right now ( ... )

Oh, I don't judge you. I give you leave to love it as you give me leave to be mad about busting on it (if only Clois fans would let anybody love to hate SV these days).

I'm working on archiving the stories. As for the other implication... blushing.

I also love what he said about James Patterson. I've read a couple of his booka and he's just terrible--thank you, Mr. King for speaking the truth :):)

He always does. Love that man.
