Jumping back in to say that, after taking a short break, I just finished Later. The ending is a little weak. I guess that's a commonality between many Stephen King novels, which I actually appreciate. It keeps things interesting, and if he were perfect I don't think I'd be able not to resent him.
The mental image of your old professor hiding out in his car to read Stephen King novels is golden, by the way. I've been thinking about which of King's books you would send him first should you need to invoke your curse, and I'm leaning toward The Tommyknockers. Not only is the vintage hardcover dirt cheap, but it's something a masterpiece in its own horrible and shitty way. Never has there been such a true account of the experience of writing under the influence of cocaine without the word "cocaine" being used even once. Classic.
