Does anyone else now have a very strong and strange urge to write an entire novel with a typewriter?

Misery was the third book I read by Stephen King, after Carrie and On Writing. It's scary but not things-jumping-out-at-you scary, more of a slow realization of a deep psychological horror as you realize just how creepy Annie is and what she's capable of.
I really enjoyed reading the book and read it within a few days because I was so hooked. It was interesting to read after On Writing to hear what other ideas King had for the ending though I would have preferred reading it before On Writing so other parts of the story weren't ruined by spoilers.
Definitely recommend Misery for people who like thrillers/horror or books with a psychological edge.

Bij een boek van van Stephen King moet ik altijd een beetje inkomen, maar als je een eenmaal in zit en het verhaal is een beetje op gang gekomen, dan is het wel echt een goed boek.
Het was een tikkeltje ouderwets.
Het is bizar om een verhaal te lezen waarin een verhaal wordt geschreven.
