I am not normally a Stephen King fan. I read Carrie when I was in junior high and didn't sleep for an entire month. I didn't go to my prom because of that book (or at least that's what I tell people). However, he is an excellent writer. He has certainly earned the title Master of the Craft. Finally - FINALLY - after years of saying, "I, as a writer and a writing teacher, I need to read this," I just read it. It was really captivating. I am a memoir junky (aka voyeur) and was really fascinated about his writing process. I found myself re-reading various passaged and wishing the book wasn't from the library so I could underline and highlight. Stephen - I'm a non-fiction fan!
