    I know one of his favorites is Salem's Lot.

    In the Illustrated Edition Of Salem's Lot, He says something about that despite it's flaws, it's a good one. In the audio intro of Salem's Lot he says something about how he still lists it among his favorites and in the Art Of Darkness, Douglas E Winter says that it remains Stephen's personal favorite.

    I'm sure he is proud of a good many of his works.

    In many cases, that's true. In this particular case it's not. Mr. King related this tale several years ago in an interview and it has been slowly circulating since. If I remember correctly, he said he thought one reason he did not remember it was that it fell during a time of heavy drinking and was part of a period that had simply disappeared from his memory.

    Oh, and a couple years ago he favored Bag of Bones.

    The Onion piece is not written by King. It's not listed in any bibliographies.

    The Onion cracks me up. Yeah, I would hope most people figure out it's not King writing that. It would be funny if he could not remember writing a story though. The guy has written a lot. I could see it happening honestly.

    Hmmm, I guess I was pretty naive because when I read it, circa 1999, I thought it was true and the bones of it stuck with me. I had thought it was published in Fangoria but apparently not. (Curse you encroaching senility!! )

    Default Not remembering the Tommyknockers

    That was a good one "All Hail The Crimson King", thankee sai. I laughed myself silly.

    As for Mr. King's favorite book being Lisey's Story - How disappointing indeed. Here I was, thinking I shared Mr. King's taste in stories ...

    Oh well. We don't ALWAYS have to agree

    Long days and pleasant nights
    As I recall, Carrie is the manuscript that Mrs King rescued from the trash can. I think that tells volumes about how much he liked that one!

    And may you have twice the number!

    if that is true, that is amazing - it just goes to show you never know what the future has in store for you when you least expect it.
