Stephen King: I loved Lord of the Flies the way kids love Harry Potter'
Briefly

"I was five years old, in our third floor apartment in Stratford, Connecticut, and my earliest reading memory was Dr Seuss's The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins."
"The perfect whodunnit? Probably And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, a book that left an indelible mark on my love for reading."
"Lord of the Flies by William Golding shaped my teenage years; its believable descent into savagery resonated deeply with my adolescent mind."
"Studs Lonigan fueled my teenage cynicism, portraying societal forces that were grinding Americans down during the Depression, a theme I connected with immediately."
