On Writing - Stephen King

This one was a recommendation from my ex wife Helje.  It's a deceptive title.  I probably would have never even thought of looking at, let alone buying and reading it.  King takes a look at his own life, his childhood, how his writing career started and took off.  It is by no means a textbook on the craft of writing.  He does throw in quite a few hints, rules, and recommendations on how to write a book.  But ........it's mixed in with his life story.  If you are thinking of writing a book, I would consider this book a must. 

It's an easy and quick read.  I think you'll enjoy it whether or not you're a Stephen King fan.  BTW - despite the weird and crazy stuff that has become his bread and butter, he comes across as a reasonably normal, easygoing, likable, and humble guy.
