I think he's a really fantastic and interesting person, and some of his stuff is AMAZING but I've never felt that "gotta read them all" pull that I've had with other authors. I will give this one a go though, mostly because size and thanks to IT (the film - I got 2 pages into the novel and threw it across the room) I already have a fear of white sheets flapping on a clothes line.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-89194200387030695722013-09-16T20:19:06.493-07:002013-09-16T20:19:06.493-07:00I drove 5 hours to Dallas to hear him read that pu...I drove 5 hours to Dallas to hear him read that pull quote.
