Well, Dr. Kellog, maybe we wouldn't be on this situation if you'd been a little less of a freak about cranking and yogurt, you ever think of that?!

Reading it you can sort of tell. Just by watching it, I also assume writing and directing maximum overdrive, but Cujo's the only one I can remember that he's confirmed that about.

I believe this is kind of an embellishment of a throw away comment he made once. It's covered in the podcast Just King Things. I just finished reading The Stand, with a small break because I really didn't feel like continuing with it while I had covid. Tested positive on July 1st, and had just gotten to the same date in the story

Honestly Cujo's not a long read, it's an afternoon at most, but you need to have read it for it to have the full weight of impact. It puts you in a mood.

I am currently re-reading the Stand after a long while for some reason, after also re-reading the Dark Tower. None of those books should be as long as they are, holy poo poo. There's just so much extra EVERYTHING. I liked them a lot back in the day, but my word. I still love 11/22 tho

I still love 11/22 tho I was on a kick of alternate history books a few years back that included 11/22/63 and god drat. All the criticism of King may be right but the man's a wordsmith wizard compared to most writers.

I appreciate the discussion, but I think it's time for the King derail to end. Take it to the Book Barn thread.

CrocodileKingSaysNO posted:Penny arcade doing political comics now? I know this is a joke, but also, Tycho grew up, became a parent of a neurodivergent trans child, and became an absolute firebrand writer who despises our billionaire overlords and the insane political cults they enable with the fury of a thousand suns. The comic is usually sensible-chuckle tier, but the news posts can be a thing to behold when he gets riled up.

He's always been a very talented writer, I just think the targets of his ire haven't always been especially meaningful (because he's a videogame nerd)
