Whomever cast Traci Lords as "Becka" seriously needs his or her ass whipped. King's depiction of her character in the book is diametrically opposite Lords' "force my lines through a tube!" style of delivery.

I like King but I stopped reading him a while back. In my opinion, he invariably blows the ending of his stories. The Stand was a perfect example of that.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

I didn't see one of my favorite writers there either. Jack Finney who wrote the "historical" novel, "Time and Again" and the sequel "From Time to Time." These two are some of the best time travel books of all time since it is based on places and even people that actually existed (with pictures too).

Heh. So would Pohl. All those issues Robin had with S. Ya. Lavorovna-Broadhead.
Getting caught up in dangerous Heechee stuff. ;)
Most girls don't like S.F. anyway.
