As I’m reading Duma Key by Stephen King…
I’m realizing that his storytelling…
(at least for my reading pleasure)
Is like making love.
The first pages seduce me…
Promising a plot that will, in the end…
Fulfill my every reading desire.
And that’s really all I need…
Just a good story…
Told by an adept writer…
Who knows how to use his craft…
To bring me to complete and utter satisfaction.
While I enjoy other authors and their style of writing…
From James Patterson…
Who makes me feel...
Like I've just read and gobbled a fast food burger…
To Gabriel Garcia Marquez…
Who titillates me with a 12 course meal…
On every page.
Don’t get me wrong…
I love burgers and 12 course meals…
Just not as my main fare every day.
What I do enjoy everyday are....
Stories written with a style...
Somewhere in between.
(And Stephen, you're still the best!)
So?
If you had to choose just one style of writing...
As your literary lover...
Or for a meal...
What would it be?
Always, Em-Musing
