"I wish I was better." It packs a punch hearing Stephen King struggling with the same thing I am. I'm reading IT right now and I keep finding myself putting the book down to just awe at what I read. He's so good at what he does.
-
I am so sick of academics putting Stephen King down. They wish they could write 1/4 as well as him. I've been reading him for over thirty years. He is a King!
-
Stephen King is simply amazing. Dark Tower series is my favorite.
-
My "comfort book" is 11-22-63. Not horror, but suspense and soul wrenching and freeing and just sci-fi ultra coolness. I love the love story!
-
I love that King constantly references other authors. The man reads, takes some entertainment or educational worth from it, and then gives credit where it's due. Pure win.

For those who might be apt to say "Under The Dome" was someone else's idea, you may want to read "The Tommyknockers" where, as the residents of the Main town of Haven gradually fall under the influence of a mysterious object buried in the woods the object contains the townfolk inside a invisible barrier that surrounds the town. The Tommy Knockers was published in 1987, two years before The Simpsons first episode.

just finished the dark tower today, this man is a genius and i look forward to helping my children with their book reports on his work in a decade or two!

People always ask; "where do you get your ideas from?". I'm not a writer myself, but the ideas are the easiest part. It's far more difficult to turn the ideas into a story. And then the story has to be translated into characters, dialogue and descriptions in a language good enough to make people want to read it.

Did he just say " i wish i was more original " ? He is, more than anyone. King transformed everything around us in nightmares. Our cars, our dogs , our hotels in vacations, sewers, flu, fans, clowns...i've never read anything like it.
-
If there was ever a writer who can create a world so real it scares the crap outta ya its Stephen King. An amazing writer, an amazing guy, and if any writer wants to learn fifty years worth of knowledge in a few hours, read his book on Writing.
-
Prodigious observation skills, great attention to detail and shrewdness: that's what makes Stephen King so unique and successful.
-
Stories about domes over cities is common. It's almost a category. The interviewer ask great questions. I think King has some idea of the coming questions.
-
Currently reading "The Long Walk" friggin' outstanding novel! So realistic I can taste it vividly
-
Just love Stephen King. I am still making my way through all of his books. I do read other authors, a select few, but Stephen King takes me to experiences that no other can do. Thank you Mr. King. 🇨🇦

I loved thinking about writing stories and having been healed one time by a faith healer always wanted to write a story about a faith healer. I have never read Stephen King but when I saw the Green Mile I concluded no one could surpass the subject of healing the he did there.
-
He is so good.
-
Love him, he's amazing, there is no one better!
-
I just finished The Dark Tower series today and they are definitely the best books I have ever read ... simply amazing...
-
Under the Dome/ Simpsons movie, 'salem's Lot/ Dracula, Christine/The Car, elements of Kings works in many tales told before. But nobody does it like the King. An American literary master!
-
The Stand is my favourite. It's not long enough. I've read about 20 stephen king books including most of his classics and I'm still reading them because they're amazing. I actually can't describe how much I love reading stephen king books. The first one I ever read was the green mile because I'd seen the film and I literally couldn't put it down. He's a genius. I want to be an author, I haven't got much hope because I'm starting a levels in september but I'm only 17 so there's plenty of time
