Erm, Yes, I believe that the author in question here is Jonathan Stroud.

When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Something symbolic in that. It's what fake freedom does for you.

The author in immediate question is Stephen King, is it not? Dansariki made a post referencing the novel Insomnia, by Stephen King.

Well, asking if you'd read it, properly.

Ah.
Oh well then, nevermind.
His descriptions fit rather nicely with this.

Count upon Dansarinki and Apollo to completely stray from the question at hand.

And dear Honorius to resurrect an ancient topic, and me to reply to those that I feel like replying to.

And me to attempt to dominate the "Active Topic" list, except when faced with a topic which I do not like, from which I would promptly stray off topic.

Check the book if you disagree. However, in PG, when Bart is encountering Faquarl in the body of Hopkins for the first time, in order to get away he turns of the lights. The rest of the paragraph is written as if he can't see. This is contradictary to book 1, where hitting the lights would have done nothing to impair the vision of djinn. Besides, wouldn't their auras light up the kitchen anyway? What's going on?

Maybe that vision is only as good as they let their form be.

The same reason he doesn't with me when I do it:
The majority of it actually does contribute to the topics posted.
I think my last on-topic post said what I thought, but I have to visit the boy's room, so I don't think I'll look for it :)

Thanks for answering for me, Dansarinki.

I was going to say something so similar to what you said that I might as well have quoted you.

"Give me back my face!" "Look at that sunset. Like blood and melted cheese."

Would that include the boys room comment?

Alright then...
So.
You all should read some Stephen King, good writer.
I personally have read Insomnia (imagery pertinent to the topic), It, and The Stand.

Ah well, it was vaguely relevant to the topic at hand, if not the one in the title.

Speaking of vague, the "it" in your sentence is quite ambiguous.

"Give me back my face!" "Look at that sunset. Like blood and melted cheese."
