Why must some authors become so self indulgent, I'll never wast money on either of their work again.

The used book store probably didn't take it back NOT because it was boring, but because they have tons of that title.
Stephen King's books are heavily remaindered - they print a huge amount and what doesn't sell is sold at the chains for (on average) about $4.98.
I'm a Stephen King collector, and the titles most collectible by him are his first books published by Doubleday.
There was a joke I had with my Stephen King friends when we acquired a new title by him, and it went something like this: "My God, you have a
SECOND EDITION title by Stephen King!!!"
