Talk About Cliche

I'm afraid I, like too many other kids in America, am not one to frequent the non-fiction side of libraries. In truth, the only time I'd even think about touching a non-fiction book is...well, because of school. At first I was going to just go to Google, find a list of good NF authors, and pick a random one to write about. Then I realized I'd read On Writing, by Stephen King. That was a NF book; Stephen King could count as my favorite NF writer.

So, Stephen King. It seems like a cliche to pick him, but I can't even fathom choosing anyone else.

This is what I like best about him. He's so freaking straightforward. On Writing was the most entertaining NF book I've ever read, and the thing I liked the most about it was his straightforwardness. He doesn't pretty up his words with a fabulously rich vocabulary, nor does he hide his words with euphemisms worth rolling the eyes at. I could see his fiction style in his NF work, and it was refreshing. He made it so that he seemed to be talking to me instead of at me.

Also... he cursed within the first three pages.
