incredible and so earned, I'm 10 pages into The Dead Zone, my 39th King book and already feel like its gonna be a classic.
Congratulations Mr. King! I'm so excited and happy for you! Some of your books brought me through some tough times. I'm so glad I'm privileged to live at a time in history when you've attracted the spotlight.
Continuing proof of why you are my favorite author of all time. Congratulations.
I have been reading your work for most of my 49 years, and I'm delighted for you to receive this recognition. Congratulations!
Congratulations on a well desirved award. I have enjoyed your books (with a few exceptions) for many years. I'm 67 and our life time lines follow one another. Started reading after seeing CARRIE and yes the book was so much better. SALEM'S LOT was the one book that truely freeked me out. I absolutely loved THE TALISMAN and living in Ohio when he was walking down 70 W I di not have to creat a picture in my mind; I actually was seeing the sceanery. Thank you for all the hours of wonderful tales.
Congrats Mr King, I think you are well deserved of this honor. You are one of my top favorite authors, please keep up the good work. I always drop everything to read your work when it comes out. Keep up the awesome work, your biggest fan Leslie C
This is a well deserved award. Hope you enjoy your trip.
Congratulations Mr. King, long time coming but well deserved!!!!
Many congratulations. I'm so pleased for you, and you've certainly earned it. When I think of your novels, I think of your wonderful characters, who are so believably written that I miss them when the books are over. It makes me sad that I'll no longer be spending my afternoons with them. I think that's why I've reread It so many times. I just like those kids. Thank you for the hours and hours and hours of pleasure.
Congratulations to you, I read my first King novel age 13 and have been a fan ever since, I love the characters, the subjects and the fact that they are so well written.When I read a new novel I love to rediscover a character I have met previously or go to a place I have been before, I dont know how you keep up with them all or remember their relationships. I love that you do though.
Again, well done for this recognition.
Awesome! I can't think of anyone more deserving!!!
Congratulations Mr. King. Here's to more creepy enlightening stories!
Congrats Mr. King no one deserves it more! May you continue to give me many more sleepless nights whether it be from not being able to stop reading or from just pure fear.

May you keep on writing for many years to come.
Congratulations. You have entertained me for all of my adult life.
Congratulations and thanks for all the sleepless nights. It's been my pleasure.
Stephen, I read my first Stephen King book, "It," when I was 12 years old and it changed me forever. Now, 20 years later, I teach struggling readers in a high school in Austin, TX in a classroom filled with your books. You have inspired my students to read (and to enjoy it!) more than any other single author. Thank you for all you've done for me personally and to help foster a literate society.
Congratulations Stephen! You deserve it! You are an amazing writer...
Only because you deserve it!!! Congratulations. We love you!!
congratulations! I love your writing.
Congratulations!...no other author comes close to you. Love the books Ive' read and look forward to more. My fav was a tie between "The Talisman" and the "Dark Tower Series". Don't know how you can possibly keep coming up with different worlds, scenerios and unforgetable people, but you do. Simply amazing. Keep em comin....from another "constant reader".
Congratulations and well deserved. I continue on my goal to read everything you have put into print. A tough row to how since you keep issuing great stories. All the best!
You are a gulity pleasure, a stolen afternoon. I quote your wisdom more than any other... your constant reader. Most recently I loved "On writing". Thank you for sharing your gift.
