I picked up my roommate's copy of The Bell Jar on a whim last night, because no one except me hasn't read it. It's not very good yet (75 pages). I suppose everyone and their mother has thought to contrast it with the male version, Catcher in the Rye? I'll finish it and make a post or something. kleinbl00, I found a copy of On Writing at a garage sale (maybe I mentioned this). I know you're not as high on it now but I'll work my way up. I have avoided reading Stephen King's actual books my whole life -- technically -- I honestly wonder how many people in the entire world got to On Writing before any of the others.
It's a small, small demographic but I'm in it. I read On Writing because it was mentioned here, his popular books never really caught my interest. Nevertheless I still found his advice useful and having read his works is not a requirement for understanding the book.I honestly wonder how many people in the entire world got to On Writing before any of the others.
