I actually got to go see King give a talk when he was promoting the book shortly before it came out (had a 1-in-3 chance to get a signed copy, but no luck sadly). Seriously, if you ever have the opportunity to do this, don't stop to give it a second thought. For someone that likely spends most of his time locked in an office in front of a computer or typewriter, the guy is far, far more entertaining than you'd expect. If you knew nothing about him other than the anecdotes he had, you'd think he wrote humor books rather than horror.
