Why Stephen King deserves the Nobel Price for Literature

1) Bob Dylan got one and Stephen told us: "People complaining about his Nobel either don’t understand or it’s just a plain old case of sour grapes";

2) Carrie, The Shining, It, etc. (many more novels to come, I hope);

3) Sold more than 350 million copies; so in theory it's one out 20 human beings (yes, that includes todlers and all illliterate people of which there are still about 20 to 30% in some parts of the world) owning a book of his;

4) It would give him a boost of atleast another decade of writing;

5) He'd give the entirety of the prize money away to charity.

When in an interview, he was asked "do you consider your work art?"
his reply was a laugh "My work? is the literary equivalent of a Big Mac"
