he was writing a book and finished it in 3 innings.
I would believe it. I don't really care for most of his books, I prefer his short stories. I honestly think he works better in short form. His novels, with the exception of his early ones, tend to drag on far too long.
I liked the Gunslinger, but thought it should have remained a standalone.
