And no one has suggested you should (or that they should). But knowing (now) that there are people to whom those kinds of references/connections are more than just trivial, what harm in mentioning to your co-worker that there are such shared-universe connections/winks in many of King's works (since you seem to be aware of them) so they can decide for themselves how they might best proceed?
I'm not about telling anybody else how to read
anything. I'm about giving others the knowledge they might need to read in a way that best suits
them. And it costs me nothing to give them that opportunity.
