Wow, Calm Down


This comment posted on The Who's News Blog about "pop fiction" is beautiful:

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. ... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."
- Stephen King on whether new popular authors are taking cues from him.
Go read the post here. The best part is when you scroll down to the intense commentary that ensued after King's quote. You know "calm down" and "wow" are angry teenagers wearing "I [heart] Edward" t-shirts.
