I met Stephen King at a book signing, in between autographing his book when things quieted down (it was not very busy) he would grab his laptop and pound out a page or two of his latest book. When he saw me, he paused and asked me a bunch of questions about my life and where I came from and what I did etc.... Oddly enough, he was very interested in the work I do and aspects of M-theory I am working on. For a fiction writer he was pretty up on scienc-y things... He asked a lot of good questions on celestial mechanics and stellar evolution too... wish some of my students showed as much insight and curiosity...
