Stephen King—who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer…
…but then so is his recent novel, 11/22/63, a story about time travel and the assassination of President Kennedy. I've never been a huge fan of King's because I'm not a huge fan of paranormal horror stories but this book leans more toward science fiction. And King is indisputably a master storyteller. And even though this book dies of its own weight at the end (a judgment with which you may disagree) it makes a heckuva good read along the way. So it goes, emphatically, on our reading list.
If you anticipate being sprawled on a beach for the next few weeks, or stuck in a snowdrift, this is one of the books you want to consider having with you.
