I confess never reading the book. How is the story without the soundtrack?



That's fascinating. I had an American Lit prof who was a friend and neighbor of Stephen King's. I was never invited to drink with either of them, but heard some amusing anecdotes relating King's eccentricities. Particularly his long list of phobias. The same professor also had a story about meeting J.D. Salinger... which I'm certain would be interesting if I could recall a single detail. College was a damned long time ago.
