[It's not quite like Stephen King, but the genres are close enough that Kaneki nods, smiling. Besides, he's read a few Stephen King books, as well, and liked them alright.]

I know what you mean. My best friend probably hasn't ever read a novel all the way through. He's not quite as bad with nonfiction, but it has to be a topic he's really interested in for him to do more than skim through it.

[Not that that makes him like Hide any less. It's just exasperating.]
