"the best-selling author Stephen King counseled University of Maine graduates yesterday to be voracious readers,"
Book sales down?
"to donate a tenth of their earnings to worthy causes, and to carve out their careers in Maine. May 8, 2005 --> "
Does Stephen King donate this amount?
I don't think soooooo ... .
I know that King has donated a tremendous amount of money to the community in Bangor. The city needs it.
I'm not sure if he comes close to 1/10 but he does donate a lot. He's a big lefty but he puts a lot into the community here. He spoke out against the war but also donated a bunch of books to our troops returning home from the war. The local hospital would have waited much longer for a new pediatric unit without a big chunk of money from him. He has also put up a lot for sports, and the local library.
