You may find it interesting that your messages are actually 'echoed' around 
the world. As for me, I'm sitting here in Germany, reading with great 
interest what Americans think about King's works.
By the way, since you prefer non-supernatural stories, you'll probably like 
"Apt Pupil". It's from the collection "Different Seasons" which also contains 
"The Body" ("Stand by me"). If you've already read it, please tell me what 
you think about it.
Bye,
  Tom
