What's the most beautiful sentence/paragraph ever written by Stephen King? Everything I've read of his has been generic as all hell.

wwhy why gunslinger is black #italiano

My first thought was, he lied at every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.

>>7762303
No idea desu.

I think he DOES have some of his moments though, I can't remember any however... I used to read a lot of his stuff when I was growing up, its part of what got my into reading desu senpai.

Perhaps it was my age, or maybe he doesn't write anything that memorable. But I think most people would agree that the early Dark Tower mythos stuff was fairly interesting fantasy.

Yes it wasn't wholly original/creative, but it was a creative/original mixing and overlap of different genres.

I'd be interested, although having Idris Elba as Roland doesn't seem to make a lot of sense considering Odetta.

they will NEVER have a black woman calling a white man a honky mafah and white devil in a hollywood movie, i have no idea what's going to happen

it's probably going to be a massive disappointment pandering to SJW's

You have pleb taste if you think that is trash.

b-but roland has blue eyes and odetta calls him a honky like 50 times.
>>
>>7762877
King is entirely too much of a pleb to stand up for his own work in the face of identity politics.

If he claimed it was tolstoy in some obscure book you would say it was brilliant

>>7763138

Tolstoy was the original Stephen King.

This is a literature board.

A black Jesus would be closer in terms of historical accuracy than a white one though.

>>7763744

Wrong. Semites are more closely related whit Europeans than Negroids.
>>
>>7763744
