Stephen King has been allotted more shelf space in my personal library than any other author. More than Charles Bukowski, more than Richard Matheson, more than Douglas Adams, hell more than all these authors combined. I know that a great many critics think Stephen King’s work is crap.

What a week. I am not sure if I have ever explained how poorly I function when I don’t have ready access to the Internet. In case I haven’t, I don’t. On Thursday evening, I lost access to the Internet. I was essentially without a broadband connection through the weekend. I did manage to find … Read more
