Stephen King, One more reason i will never buy or read his product
I have said that here before, a few times. the man is just nothing short of a deranged twat. It surprises me how much he espouses crap like this.

In some ways I have King to thank for my passion for reading. My father bought me one of his books one Christmas and the rest is history. I was hooked.
15 years ago I stopped reading him altogether because of his overtly political nonsense, a lot of which began to creep into his novels. I think he's actually lost his mind a bit. He was never the same after that accident.

Yep, my list of those who I will not patronize is getting longer.
He's a clown.

My favorite authors have all died, Mitchner, Clancy, Crichton. I have been thinking of starting to read King.
Just another day in paradise.

I like old Cussler novels best anyway. never read a King book.

I quit buying his stuff after he made that comment about "Well, if you can't read, what can you do? Join the military I guess." Fucktard.

Kinda like when King was out for a walk and a minivan hit a pile of garbage.

Disgusting, I like how he says "pricey retreat". I'm sure you're crazy poor Steve. Trash

Gee, I saw it as the dems constantly using garbage to try and derail the Trump train.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

started reading him in high school, and when he got preachy, and needed 156 pages to talk about something simple (resulting in books that could be used a stepladders,,,,) I stopped,
I have never read a King book, and after his comments I never will

I could give a rat's ass about the political opinions of writers, musicians, actors, and athlete's. If I like your writing, music, movie, or sport, I'll watch. I can appreciate what you do, even if I don't appreciate your political viewpoints.
As far as Stephen King goes, his early stuff was great. His recent stuff just hasn't been very good.

I won't toss the one Stephen King novel we have in the library, The Stand, but neither will I buy or borrow any more.

I read a lot of his stuff 20+ years ago but I quit after his stories started getting predictable and way over the top. Family Guy nails my feelings on him as an author.

King is a hopeless liberal wing nut. I love the guys books and grew up on them.
