This is absolutely distracting. I don't get why he does it. No one talks this way. I mtrafing one of his more famous books right now and I'm enjoying it but these weird sayings are awful.

You've obviously never been to Maine.

I've heard it stated that King is a extremely talented story teller, but only a mediocre writer. Maybe that could explain it.

Speaking of things like that, I always liked Pat Conroy's (RIP) books, but never liked how his characters talked.
They were always super-witty to the point of disbelief.

Just started book 3 of the dark tower series. 2nd one was a chore to get through but now a quarter through the 3rd and it's getting really interesting

Wow I feel the same way about myself. I could have been the greatest writer ever. I only lacked ability and drive.
