Well, I'm still reading Stephen King's time travel novel. It's meandering along, but the sub plots are interesting. We're getting closer to the time when Oswald is in Dallas and the main character will try to stop him. I'm enjoying the slow progress more than I thought I would. There's just enough suspense to keep me reading. I'm glad to see King is developing his characters well, something he had neglected for quite a few years (maybe during his cocaine phase).
He's actually pretty good at character development, when he puts time into it. And it does take time to get to know people, even fictional ones. I'm also glad to see he's still writing, still coming up with new ideas after all these years and all the books he's written. Reading his autobiography last year helped me to understand him and appreciate his writing a little more, I think. And I even like him a little better than I used to because of it.
So, next week perhaps I'll be back to non-fiction. We'll see . . .
