On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

4.0

While I don't harbor any sincere fantasies of becoming a writer, this was still a fantastic read. Much of this book features small snippets of King's life that are written in an engaging style. I have been an off and on King reader since junior high but have never given a lot of thought to the man behind the books that caused me to run to my mom and dad's bedroom from time to time (not kidding here... I really think "It" scarred me); this gave me an opportunity to get to know him, if only slightly. The sections about writing were interesting as well, but like I said, I don't really see myself as a writer so I didn't dwell on them very long. The best parts were the ones about him, which proves one of his theses, "write what you know."
