"Mr. King, I hope you don’t get offended but I thought your writing would be dry and stuffy. I’m actually enjoying it thus far… 30 mins into the audiobook and still only 1% in😭
Here’s to long books 🙃" — Mar 27, 2026 06:38PM

“There is a path of land that exists Beyond the sea and the sky. It is behind the mountains, Past even the hills— Those of luscious green that Roll up into the heavens. I have been there, with you. It is not big, although not too small. Perhaps you could perch a house on its width, But we have never considered it. What would be the use? We already live there. When the night closes And the city stills, I am there, with you. Our mouths laughing, our heads vacant Of all but what is. And what is? I ask. This, you say. You and I, here.”
