Question of the Day #51: Do you enjoy reading Stephen King's Non-Fiction stories as much as his Fictional ones?

Yes, I enjoy Stephen King's Non-fiction (articles, short stories, novels, novellas, etc.) just as much as his Fictional stories because of his eloquent writing style.  He ropes me in to whatever real experience he is describing in a humorous and vivid way. 

For example: 

Ever Et Raw Meat? And Other Wierd Questions? by Stephen King

Head Down from Nightmares and Dreamscapes was a great read.  I loved reading about Bangor West's exciting season. 

Question of the Day #46: Do you like the new cover for 'Full Dark, No Stars'?

(This is just my opinion, I'm still buying the book regardless of the cover. It's what's on the inside that is really important to me anyway.)  No, this cover does not appeal to me much at all.  I would have preferred an artist rendering instead of a photo.  I think the person on the cover is in an odd-looking, unnatural position.  Maybe the unnatural postion was what they were attempting to achieve.   The cover of Full Dark, No Stars conveys a couple of things to me.  The person in the picture looks  overwhemingly distraught to the point of possible depression.  This could be quite a dark collection of novellas.

What do you think?

Question of the Day #7: When reading SK's books, what intrigues you the most about his writing?

Mostly I am in awe of his character development.  When he writes about someone, I feel like I had just personally met them.  To me, that is a very difficult thing to do as a writer, making the reader feel "close" to a fictional character.  Whether it be anger, endearment, distaste, pity, fear, joy, sadness, he manages to make me feel all of these feelings (and many more) when he writes.  There is just so much depth to each character he creates.  The other thing about his writing that intrigues me is just how much he has written and continues to write.  Articles, short stories, novellas, screenplays, novels, you name it he writes it.
