What’s up with the headline? King is only mentioned in the final sentence of the post, and it’s certainly not implying any “shameless self-promotion.” Nor does it amuse, and there is zero indication that anyone is outraged. What SEO clickbait hell is BoingBoing turning into?

Stephen King voted for Under the Dome? Meh. If I’d been writing a few books in the 21st century, that weren’t trash, I wouldn’t forget to give myself a little love, too.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, I’m scoffing that we’re not even one-quarter the way through the century yet. You’d think book reviewers would have more patience.

Oh how dare you! Calling all pedants!
