      Agreed, but on the other hand if you have to travel a lot nothing beats being able to have an e-book reader with a whole bunch of books on at once. Light, compact, and the battery on the kindle brand lasts for weeks between charges. E book readers are also an inexpensive way to get a lot of classic books for which the copyright has expired.

      CroweDharmaReloaded No. You're describing nostalgia about the times when there were no alternatives to paper books. People should want more people to read. Electronic books help with that and make life easier for everyone. It also lets more people get their books out. You can get a lot of data from e-books when others have highlighted passages. Electronic books are a good development in literature.

    • @TheClassicWorld
      @TheClassicWorld 7 лет назад +1

      In the words of Stephen King, 'You read all my books? I feel bad for you.' I hope that you've also read the greatest stories ever written over the last 3,000 years because, if you spent all those years reading 10,000 pages of Stephen King instead of something really real like Homer or Shakespeare, then I feel very bad for you. It's like reading Twilight instead of The Lord of the Rings. Half of King's books are about 700 pages long and not worth it, objectively.

    As an amateur writer, (meaning I'm the only reader of my stuff), I found 'The Litigators' by Grisham to be an excellent example of character creation and development. I re-read 'The Litigators' every year. The other is Stephen King's, 'On Writing'. The unflinching discipline described by Stephen King is awe inspiring. Not long after reading Mr. King's 'On Writing,' I got on an elevator heading down to the lobby at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. Mr. King was there with a couple of friends, wearing a worn, regulation type Boston Red Sox cap, discussing the Sox game they would be attending later that night.

To be honest, I haven't been able to muster up the courage to pick up a Stephen King novel because the one's I found in my local library are HUGE. Perhaps I ought to go and brave one of them and find out for myself what Mr. King is all about. Both are such great guys, you could listen to them talk for ages. Thanks so much for this.

    When I was in high school we had a reading room for a credit in English. Choose from racks of paperback. Sit in silence and read for an hour, year round. This reading time moved me forward to become a journalist of 30 years, a script writer, a story writer with music and most of all the passion of reading books....but mostly the courage to write books. This concept can be used in all schools and all grades. It was a time to read books at our own pace and choose our own books and most of all experience the wonderful world of books. Best of Luck.

      The death penalty is for a very select few. Like child murderers and rapists. People like the Wagners who executed an entire family, two of whom were sleepibg with their infant babies. What about Koglberger, another execution, of four college students. What about Bundy? What about Nicoke Brown Simpson, slaughtered! Sharon Tate, nine months pregnant, slaughtered? Jessica Chambers, burned alive?

    One though on Stephen’s humble beginnings, how unfair it is. Both him and his wife were well educated and they still had to live on a poverty line in a trailer somewhere. Such a shame, makes me really angry. They’ve done what needed to be done and the system was still kicking them in the teeth.
    Really happy they are here today to tell their stories. 💚

    I love Stephen king for giving me SO MANY CHARACTERS that are now a part of my life. I think about them often. I’m skilled at skipping the gross parts. His skills are incomparable. A perfect scenario is when I have the audiobook, hardcover and kindle versions! Right now I’m reading Under the Dome. My last was The Monkey short story and about eight novels before that. ❤️

      Grisham seems like a curmudgeon to me. I loved this interview with Stephen King, but he's rather flat on his own.

      I get lots of good books from thrift shop, etc. I like that it’s been read and it’s not a waste of paper and energy. That’s how I started reading S.K. 35 years ago from a book I found for twenty five cents figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about. 😊

      I'm pretty sure I would recognize John Grisham too, but maybe it has to do with my kids going to Ole Miss. Although John Meacham spoke at my daughter's graduation! They all had a sense of humor.

      Every year Stephen sells film making students the rights to his work for $1. He calls them “Million Dollar Baby” movies. That’s a man who loves the arts, he doesn’t have to do that.
