What did he (as in the author, Stephen King) mean by this?
He meant to show that he is capable of completing a 15 year old project of his that he really should have just abandoned.
Kind of like those guys who can throw beer kegs full of concrete around. No reason to do it, isn't even very impressive to watch....but they sure did a lot of hard work to do it.

they dont fill kegs with concrete, they just fill it with water. i used to do strongman. its all about the competition. its like doing the most useful workout, trying to work on practical muscles (although i dont imagine myself throwing stuff over my head often). olympic lifting is a sport, strongman is a job, and bodybuilding is an art form (or it used to be). i dont lift anymore, i just drink

>Really showed me a thing or two

>No reason to do it

I've never actually read a SK novel all the way through before, is this an okay place to start? I like thick dick, I mean books.

Couldn't finish this piece of shit it was so bad.
i think the rule of thumb when it comes to King is the longer the work the worse it is, except for The Green Mile, which was originally published in 100 or so page segments like old Dickens books, and therefore he couldn't fuck up the ending all that much.

no man, this is one his shittiest in my honest opinion. The book I liked the most was Lisey's Story, but the best place to start might be Misery or The Shining.

that's a generally good rule. His short stuff can be fun if you aren't too serious to enjoy it. His longer "project" books.........yikes
