Stephen King is a terrible writer. Never any plot at all. I could never understand why anyone would read his books or view the movies thereof.

Stephen King is a terrible writer. Never any plot at all. I could never understand why anyone would read his books or view the movies thereof.

**************************

I grew up in the ‘60s, reading Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and watching his movies on one of the two t.v. channels with snowy and intermittent reception. I read King’s books during the mid-to-late 1980s because they were scary.

However, my all-time favorite of King’s writings-turned-to movie is “Stand By Me.” I still find that one to be a fascinating coming-of-age movie.

Nevertheless, I determined the man himself abhorrent and do not recall the last time I read anything he has written - it’s been a looooong time.

Given the crisis tone that California officials are using, I just realized that the state can fan the flames of Corona panic. I wondering if they will quarantine Californians.

Here’s a stamfordadvocate.com quote under a picture of a worried looking official:

“California reported its second case of community transmission of the coronavirus Friday, and Oregon and Washington announced others just hours later, providing fresh evidence that the deadly virus is circulating in the United States”

The state has carefully cultivated impoverished slum conditions in LA and SFO. Maybe they will need to quarantine conservative areas on the date of the primary election, March 3rd. *rolls eyes*

I have problems with reading any Stephen King novel, except one. That novel, “11/22/63” is based on time travel.

It’s not a horror novel, like his others, but a love story.
