Stephen King is kind of a funny author. Some of the stuff he writes is pretty good and some of it really flops around with story elements that are far too long and story elements that don't really get resolved, and story elements that take away from the overall quality of the story.

His underlying story ideas tend to be pretty good but his writing is all over the place. He can write one story that's decent while the next story is a hot turd he just squeezed out. And yet somehow he's still managed to become very successful.

The first 1/3rd of the book could be condensed down to a couple paragraphs and it wouldn't effect the story in any way, except to make it better. It's meandering and full of useless fluff and the language is over-the-top. It takes the more interesting parts of the story that occur later on and covers them in poo so they don't shine as well.

Whenever a new technology comes onto the market, like a new programming language or framework, if it's developed by Facebook I steer clear.

The new Amazon program will take all the money normally generated by AmazonSmile and insert it directly into Jeff Bezos's anus.

While I recognize the sports industry does create some jobs, I think the modern obsession with sports is really over-the-top. Colleges focus on it because they make a ton of money from it. The professional players get paid unreasonably huge amounts of money to play a game, and then the fans are obsessed with it like it's a religion.

From what I know of the Victorian era, men were much more free to express themselves. The emphasis wasn't on being macho, it was on being cultured.

The royal family really should have disbanded as a tax-funded corporation after the queen. She should have been the last royal. Instead, now we have William the Peg to look forward to.

And it'll only cost $10,000 and a very special hug from Tim Cook.
