A much debated National Book Foundation's Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Mr. Stephen King. Methinks, all the King nay-sayers can just www.zipit.com, King is a Storyteller of prolific magnitude, he sells his stories by units numbering millions. It's hard not to overlook the numbers, which is ultimately the deciding factor in this equation. Mr. King's writings are now part of most High School curriculum's and a major player in our pop culture, his writings exam the psyche of a situation played out in the darkest part of the gray matter. I think the man deserves the recognition, but then I wear a trench coat and play D&D all day....lol....jk.....hmmmmm.
After hearing the news of the award I went directly to bookslut to read her bitch on the sitch, and after getting there I realized that Jessa was still in the midst of her move to Chicago and that the guest blogger was still the smartassed, yet witty, Steve Almond and his public masturbating and pontificating guest ho thing is a nice waste of time but I wanted some feedback and lord knows I can get it from Neal Pollack (he's a giver by nature) and the underlying tone of his response has me to believe that he wants to play with the big boys by being just as pompous and opinionated as King himself.
Anyhoo, Kudos to King! ;)
