Fortunately, I don't thinks he's looking to his detractors for career advice, because I'd be happy if he lived and wrote forever. Since I can't have that, I can only hope that there is a "release after my death" vault somewhere so that I'll have new King material for the rest of my life.
I'm excited about this news. I'm planning a re-read of The Shining, and now I'm even more motivated to do so. I read it many, many years ago, and unfortunately his vision was replaced in my head by the film so I've waited this long to get a fresh perspective.
In the last few years I've re-read It and The Stand (Uncut). I've got several others on the re-read list, and a few that I'll be reading for the first time. Right now I'm reading Full Dark, and I agree that it's some of his best work. I'm on the last story now. Next up is Under the Dome. I'm an unapologetic King fan, definitely.

When I saw him speak in Fairfax, VA recently, one question was does he have and books he's started and hasn't finished. He said yes, probably about 40. So maybe after his death someone will publish them
