Play this song while you read my post.So I think I have an obsession. I feel I first need to explain that I don't get obsessed over much. I can honestly say I am pretty good about not getting overboard with things, and I do honestly keep everything on a healthy responsible level. Hell, I can't even smoke cigarettes right. But I can't stop buying Stephen King novels. If you don't know me, you won't know that I work in a(n awesome) Library. I am surrounded by books. Every day. Every time a Stephen King novel comes around I dance inside. No one knows this, however, my bosses are kind of embarrassed of me I am sure. I always do a little jig and go a bit overboard with enthusiasm. "It's a Stephen King novel!" Inside I am like (*!!!!!!!!!!!*) I bet my boss is sick of hearing about it. So how far does this obsession go, you ask? Well let me tell you! I have a collection of all of his movies. If I have not seen it, it's in my Netflix queue, or in my DVD collection, or in my Amazon cart as we speak. I probably own every book. If I don't, it's because I haven't heard of it yet, or it hasn't circulated out of or into the Library for my purchase. I have an upstairs bookshelf that is 50% Stephen King novels. I will seriously buy them in paperback AND in hardback. Just to say I have the "special edition". I have only read some of them. My all-time favorite movie is Pet Sematary. Tied in first is The Shining. What is scary, is that before I made this list and blog post, I actually didn't know how serious my addiction to Stephen King actually was. Sigh. I never ever saw myself as a super-fan. Of anything! I have always been way too cool for that. But alas, I have succumbed. To the ever-weird and ever-strange man who is just like me - Strange, odd, and sees the weird in everything. And the song? Oh my God! How much it speaks to me, and resonates in my soul. It's so utterly beautiful, creepy, and delightful. The movie as well. I guess I have a real problem. Or maybe you do. Because you don't get it. BUT - Stephen King does. Do you love him, too? Tell me about your Stephen King fanaticism in the comments! (And listen to the whole song. It's wonderful.)

I LOVE Stephan King, It's probably a good thing I neither live in Maine or can afford to go there anytime soon, I have 80plus percent of his books, Lisey's story is my current favorite.
