best quote from the article:
But won't he miss it? The rush of seeing one of his novels released?
''Absolutely not. Would I miss that? What? I mean, I'm going to Detroit this time and sign books at a Wal-Mart. What a thrill! Are you kidding?''

...not going to miss him. The only good thing that came out of him, was the book/movie "IT". Everthing else... terrible.

Are you sure they didn't use a picture of David Johannsen(sp?) instead?
Not a big fan of the books, but they sure spawned some great films. Oh well.

as long as he finishes "the dark tower" series. that's been his life work. he's weaved aspects of it into almost all of his novels. I'd hate to see him not get to finish it.

he said that completing the dark tower would be the end.
about quitting, he says that even he realizes his new book is too close to christine, and that he has nothing else to say.
but he said some great stuff.

I call it. Publicity stunt.
Oh, I think he'll take a break for a year or two. During that time he'll churn out another novel (or 5, that SOB can churn out the books), and at that point, all his fans will be clamoring for it. They'll release it to big hype / press, and it'll sell out immediately. It's all good marketing strategy.
He can't quit. Anyone who has ever been serious about writing, either as an occupation or a hobby, you can't just quit. It's in the blood, it's not something you can just turn off like a light switch.

I've never read one of his books (I'm not into reading that much). I have seen almost all his movies though , and goddamn those are some good movies. I went to the library yesterday , because I saw "Hearts In Atlantis" a couple days ago but Im staring at the book write now and just cant read it. I don't think it is a publicity stunt. There arent too many storylines in the world of book writing.

I've read 10 of his books, most of which I liked alot. I'll be sad if he's gone for good, but I agree with Se7en, it's a stunt, he'll be back soon.
IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME-AHHH!

Yea, and the really Ironic and EVIL part is that I'm guilty of just as many typos as a lot of the others.
So I am the POT calling the Kettle Black.
