The #1 book right now.
11/22/63 is a novel by Stephen King about a time traveler who attempts to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy which occurred on November 22, 1963 (the date of the novel’s title). …
Although the novel contains science fiction and alternate history elements, the majority of it is historical fiction dealing with real-life events and people between 1958 and 1963. …
King’s a terrific story teller. But I can’t particularly recommend this over other pop fiction. I find his books too long.
Actually, the only other King novel I’ve read was Under the Dome.
I found it too long.
He seems a very cool guy, though.

Not all of his stuff is long, it’s just that a lot of his popular work is pretty long (for instance…The Stand). But there are the short populars like Carrie, The Shining, and the movies Stand by Me and Shawshank Redemption are based off of short stories of his. I’ll admit it though, some of his stuff just drags. I think that’s what makes it “feel” long. It really just depends on what you grab. I personally like The Long Walk. I haven’t read this book yet (11/22/63). I’ve actually never read Historical Fiction before but I told myself that this would be the first one. Nice post! King is one of my favorites so I had to stop by and give your blog a peek.
