Stephen King receives high honors

Stephen King doesn't have the literary reputation of Philip Roth or Arthur Miller, but now all three authors have something in common: an honorary National Book Award for lifetime achievement.

King, brand-name writer, master of the horror story and e-book pioneer, is receiving this year's medal for Distinguished Contributions to American Letters. The prize, worth $10,000, was announced Monday by the National Book Foundation, a nonprofit organization that sponsors the awards.

I think it's cool that he's getting the award.  I love most of his books and have seen all of the movies made from his books (I even own most of them).  I really like how he wants to play bit-parts in them too.

honors high receives King Stephen

Although there is a lot of mystery to his stories I could never understand his endings. Its almost like he ran out of ideas. He should be honored though, afterall the man dominates the book and tube world.
