I've read every Steven King book. They all have varying levels of depth, but they're all very well written and immersive. I think everyone here had a reasonable point about a lot of his endings turning out fast and dark.

You may not enjoy this if you like stories that feel like they come to a proper conclusion, but I think that's where he excels at making his stories feel dark. The endings are almost always NOT satisfying. They often hurt.

Another thing people don't like about him is that he's a period writer, so lots of his writing is filled with current events from the time when he wrote the book. This makes a lot of his older books feel really dated (like Tommyknockers). But it's good for me.

Also, like most people who have also commented, i recommend starting with his short stories, and his more popular works. They really are good.

You are scientifically illiterate if you are asking questions that have easily discoverable answers (as in this example, centuries of confirmed results)

The burn from the thrusters doesn't push against space, it pushes against the rocket.

For more easily discoverable answers to basic physics questions, perhaps take a physics 101 course. Or just Google your question.

Or do it the way you just did it... Cunningham's law and all that. But be aware that people will consider you scientifically illiterate if you do it the way you just did it.

I'm pretty sure they said they would "...go nuts on..." not "...go nut in..."

God made me. It's part of His Plan™ that I'm not religious, and I apparently cannot deviate from His Plan™. Plus, Jesus already died to forgive any sins I may commit so  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Eta: I cannot deviate from His Plan™ even tho I supposedly have Free Will™
