    :!: Random SK Book Questions!

    I've seen this quote all over the internet attributed to SK as if he actually said it himself. But I'm 90% sure that this quote was actually from Desperation and was said by Johnny Marrinville. Can someone tell me if I'm correct or not? Thanks.

    nope, I was wrong. It's The Stand (near the end of Ch 48). Page 617 in uncut edition and (i think) 607 in original. try that

    Thanks. Do you know the context of it?

    EDIT: NVM, I have a copy. I'll see if I can find it...

    Cyber, I don't mean this unkindly at all, but does a yes/no question that's likely to be answered quickly really require it's own thread? I mean isn't there a preexisting thread you could ask questions such as this in?

    I don't think we have a quick non-DT Q&A thread right now; maybe the present one should develop into such (after renaming)

    Default Random SK book questions...

    At some point or another we all have a question that maybe we aren't sure *which* book it relates to...so I thought I'd start a thread....

    For a few days now I've had a rhyme that I've now googled to find is an old folk song, but for some reason, I swear that it was brought up or quoted in some Stephen King book, but I can't remember which or why...anybody recognize this:

    "And the cat came back the very next day
    The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
    The cat came back he just couldn't stay away"

    Not sure if the whole rhyme is related to the book...but at least "And the cat came back the very next day".

    Vague enough?? Was hoping one of our members with a photographic memory for King would remember if/which book it was quoted in.

    I don't recall that at all.

    I know alot of the older books have quotes and snippets of song lyrics before the chapter, so I'll look in mine.

    good thread idea though.
    "So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

    Not vague at all. I'd think that one would be self-evident. It's in Pet Semetary.

    Oh, my. Of course it would be Pet Semetary...which now makes this feel even MORE odd for me, as I haven't read that book in YEARS! I wonder what made that rhyme pop into my head?

    It's also a cartoon that I love! And that damned song is catchy. Thanks, Ves - now I'll have to go to the 'song you can't get out of your head' thread.

    So not only have I not read that book in at least 10 yrs...I just looked at the shelf--I don't even own it! I wonder if the spirit of Pet Semetary is trying to tell me something?????

    Hopefully it's saying "Hey, go buy that book, and re-read it dumb shit" and not something more cryptic.

    I'm blaming pregnancy brain...

    and I'm blaming my comment that could be construed as mean on hormones.

    it wasn't construed as mean, it was correctly interpreted as funny.

    no worries kid, and pregnancy is awesome


    mostly because it doesn't happen to guys.
