Books & Authors - December 2006

I mean get to a deeper level of understanding. Preferably where sample passages are given and the reader is taught how to interpret them.
My staple reading for years has been mainly non-fiction. Now I want to explore fiction further.

It's by Stephen King and while I liked his early stuff, I stopped reading his work around the time of The Dark Tower. Someone recommended "Buick 8" and so I got the audio book for a driving trip. I loved it and wonder how other people liked it.

I knew the ending wouldn't give a lot of answers, but I was okay with it. Do you think you know where the car was from? Or what was going on with it?

Months ago, I paid an on-line publisher to make my book available on the Internet. So far, the only copies I've sold have been to friends and family. I've done an amateur job of publicizing it, but sales are still somewhere around non-existent. Should I consider this venture a "dry run" and do the next book differently?
