Most criticisms I've heard about SK are that his books are too long or move too slow. I can totally see how you'd feel that way about King. I have always appreciated his level of detail, I feel like it helps me to visualize it better, I don't have a particularly vivid imagination.

He got popular for a reason and it is because some people enjoy that. I love a deep and realistic feeling world. It is just too much focus on the imagery for my own tastes. I love a long book though. It challenges me to spend more time not working. Have you ever read Michael Palmer?

So much to unpack here. Lol. I was trying to individually reply to each section when i realized i kind of have a response for all of it.

Fantasy is probably my favorite genre. And it kind of leans in to how i feel about Stephen King. I have an extremely vivid imagination. I feel King takes that from you as a reader. He puts so much detail in that there is no room at all to kind of paint the scene in your head at your own leisure. So that is exactly why I never cared for his writing. It is just too much. I like to leave some things up to the imagination. I did always enjoy Dean Koontz and keep an extensive collection of his books in my little personal library.

Thanks for the info on the podcasts. I listen to them all the time. I drive an hour to work each day so that is 2 hours of just sitting in my car bored. I've listened to everything i could find so it will be great to hear something new. I needed some rejuvenation there.
