I used to be a big Stephen King fan, too. My favorites were Carrie and Christine (big car nut, me). I didn't like Tommyknockers, either. Wasn't it about aliens? Where were the bloody tommyknockers? (if you're not familiar with them, tommyknockers are the souls of miners killed on the job. THey take the forms of little gnome-like old me with colorful shirts and long beards. They're known for being mischievous and can be mean if you make them mad, but can also be helpful, leading miners to big veins of ore or to safety before a cave-in). Little bit of Colorado folklore.

I liked David Copperfield much better than Great Expectations. We named our fetal pig in biology class "Estella" in honor of the little swine in the book.
