Nick Nick said: "This 50 year old Hugo Award winner far surpassed my expectations--it's one of those rare old sci-fi novels that doesn't feel like its age. It's not a tremendous story necessarily; it's basically three novellas set at the same location, each jumping a...more "

Nick Nick said: "At times, King's approach to writing from a storyteller's perspective is a little cloying, and there's a lot of old-fashioned narrator presence in this one. "I'm sorry to say," "It's not for me to tell," "You'll have to make ...more "

285104 Thanks Ben! (Though it should be noted that I tried to make a stupid joke using the accented "e" and still couldn't get it to work. But then, I'm poison to computers.)

285104 I did. He's doing a terrible job of retiring. I've also never read one, though I have read a couple of the Best American volumes for poetry. They always look appealing when they come out, but then I've got those forty other books on my shelves...

376188 Hey, did you see Stephen King edited The Best American Short Stories 2007? I have something like three of the previous volumes; haven't read a one.

285104 I believe it's learned with an accent over the "e." Which I don't know how to do. So who's learn-ed now?

376188 You know, anyone can add every Shakespeare play just so they appear learn-ed.
