Steven King may not be the most popular person on FR, but I surely respect the man for putting his money (his own money, in this case) where his mouth is.

He and his wife do an awful lot of good for the folks in Maine.

I think it’s funny that he’s apparently superstitious. You’d figure horror writers would be immune to that.

From what I've heard of him he's a flaming lefty, but I certainly have to give King and his wife mega-kudos for this one.

Never having met the man personally, I can only say “Bravo!”

He gets my vote. It’s good to see that bazillionaires are still human.

Whatever I think of his politics and his writing of the past couple of decades, he and his wife are more generous to those in need than anyone I know of any political backround, for which they deserve sincere thanks. I couldn’t care less if people know about his generosity or if it’s anonymous, and neither do those who benefit from it.

This is a very kind act — done by a person whom I thoroughly dislike — and I will pray for him and his wife.
