These were the books that were on Stephen King's Pink Kindle

CNN's storyA Real Cliffhanger
               Will e-books kill hardbacks?


What a surprise to see that Stephen King spoke with CNN about ebooks.  IMO he needs to do more interviews and public appearances.  That being said, these were the books that were shown on the front page of the pink Kindle that SK was holding during the interview. 

Ordinary Thunderstorms William Boyd

Never Look Away: A Thriller Linwood Barclay

The Angel's Game Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Blockade Billy Stephen King

The Bullpen Gospels Dirk Hayhurst

A Reliable Wife Robert Goolrick

Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck

Roses Leila Meacham

Roman Orgy Marcus Van Heller 



When Stephen King is asked if he goes back and reads his own books he replies "Very rarely, very rarely, I know how they come out."

Wiki information on Kingdom Hospital
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hospital

There is a book called The Journals Of Eleanor Druse about the Kingdom Hospital occurrences. This book was written by Richard Dooling pen name Eleanor Druse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dooling http://www.dooling.com/. The book is listed with Eleanor Druse and Stephen King as the authors. The author(s) present this book as a truthful account of the incidents there but it is a book of fiction. The "journal" even begins with a cover letter addressed to Stephen King, which gives the look of an actual journal. While reading this book, I felt like I knew Sally Druse, Bobby (her son), the orderlies, and all of the doctors in the hospital. Surprisingly, the author made me laugh a few times considering it was supposed to be about something horrific. Basically, Eleanor Druse (Sally), is a physic that is concerned for a child that she hears crying during a visit to the hospital. When she realises she is not a child of this world she decides to help her to cross over. When Sally was at Kingdom Hospital as a child she narrowly avoids being permanetly rewired in an experiment that could have changed her whole life, as it does Madeline Kruger's. She uncovers many disturbing facts about Kingdom Hospital, and its past. Read it. I posed the question about the authors to the Moderator at StephenKing.com and the answer was that since Stephen King came up with the concept for the book he got credit for it.
