Jeff Moffitt @chelseaearnsmore Wow, that is pretty cool! I've never seen that chart before! But yes, he quite often makes references to other characters and other stories! It's amazing how he can tie things together!

Jeff Moffitt @chelseaearnsmore That's why the Dark Tower series was one of my favorites, because he spread the story out over seven books. And some of them were pretty thick books at that!

Jeff Moffitt @chelseaearnsmore I'm the same way! When the story is good, you totally immerse yourself in that world and never want the story to end! In that regard, King is the best at that!

Jeff Moffitt @chelseaearnsmore It's been so long since I've read the Hardy Boys books that I can't remember which was my favorite. But there was like a 100 books or so in the series (of which I read every one), so I think it would be hard to have just picked one favorite!

Don't think about what can happen tomorrow. Don't think about what can happen in a month. Don't think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want...

At the beginning of the month, I'd decided to take a break from drinking. It was partly stemmed from one massive Halloween celebration that had me nursing one stinking hangover. I woke up on a Saturday morning still drunk from...

Jeff Moffitt @chelseaearnsmore He really has gotten in the habit of writing super long novels these days, so it's nice to get a breather every now and then with a collection of his short stories. It's funny that you mentioned It and the Stand, as those are two of his...

Wendy789 Ohh a childhood favorite! That's a difficult one. I've read quite a few as a child, started reading at the age of 4. It's probably Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales..

Jeff Moffitt I read all the Hardy Boys books as a kid (and even a few Nancy Drew books), and then when I got older I started reading Stephen King books. My first ever Stephen King book I read was Christine, about a possessed car. It freaked me out, but made me a life-long...
