Why?
- Just one book will take ages, only 6 of his books are less than 200 pages. The average is 500+ pages.
- One of the most prolific authors alive. So lots of books to choose from (narrow reading) 60+ books
You convinced me. I've just bought my first Stephen King novel, El Resplanador (The Shining) at the local bookstore.
Also did you do a presentation on Listen/Reading for the Polyglot Gathering? I watched it yesterday. Very interesting.

And you've just cast the deciding vote for me moving on, instead of re-reading Quijote and Cien años de soledad again in the near future.
