Quote of the Day: "I want to mess with your life" - Stephen King

NVDL: I've always admired King's powerful writing, not necessarily the writing itself. I also try to kick the reader in the guts...from time to time. I think a lot of reader's want that and there are so few writers either able to do that, or doing that in any case... My book HOLIDAY is a great example.

“I don’t want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.

I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework.

I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight walk on the beach with the resort tennis pro
while you read a few more chapters.”
