I just post online and see if anyone reads the selected chapter I've highlighted. <br />Wow, that guy was willing to swap a review with you and it was almost a given he'd likely give you a bad review too?

You know, the first Stephen King book I read was in the bathroom. My dad was reading it and had left it in there. I sat up one night when everyone was sleeping, sprawled on the laminate floor with the light on and the door closed, reading It. We won't discuss how old I was.
