I didn’t realize I’ve turned into a literary elitist snob. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve read a Stephen King book -what with them being for the unwashed masses and all. It has to be upwards of two decades. I USED to read every book he wrote, every time it was released. Then I got my degree and his works were beneath me. Fast forward to now. I have a disabled sister who recently moved into long term care. When I visit, I read to her. She requested that I read Cujo. I read Cujo when it was first released in 1981, 40+ years ago. Reading it now, all these years later, I just cannot express how impressed I am with the craftsmanship of the writing. Read it, that’s all I have to say - that man, he knows how to write a thriller.
First of all, I would not classify my post as a ‘rant’. Secondly, I have no idea what you are on about. The soul and express purpose of my post in a subreddit called ‘BOOKS’ is that I have discovered some QUALITY writing and I felt necessary to share (in what I consider to be my learned opinion) my view that this is some quality writing. Take it or leave it.
