I see that Stephen King's 11/22/63 has been named one of the Ten Best Books of 2011 by the New York Times, no less. So you see, I don't read rubbish after all!

    Who on earth said you did? I merely pointed to the fact that comparing King to Balzac and Dickens seemed a little far-fetched! I have nothing against a little King now and then! And, because I want to please you, I might add that he is probably one of the most imaginative writers who ever lived. (Also one of the wealthiest!) The guy does have immense talent!
