Amanda, The Stand has to be one of my mostest favorites of King's books. I literally read two paperback copies to pieces before I finally got an inexpensive hardcover. Sorry you don't like it.

That's my fear as well. My goal is to attempt to finish reading it by the end of the year.Originally Posted by Girlystevedave
Honestly, I think it's both.
Really digging Replay audiobook.
I´m currently reading "The Hero of Ages" which is the third book of the "Mistborn" trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.
THE BLACKBIRD by Donald Westlake. After this, I'll have read all of the books he wrote under the Richard Stark pseudonym. I really cannot recommend them highly enough, or adequately express how grateful I am to SK for leading me to them via THE DARK HALF. (For those of you who don't know, the Richard in King's Richard Bachman pen name comes from Richard Stark.)
Just started Song of Susannah. I am worried I will not care for it.
The weakest in the series for sure.
Finished Medusa's Web by Tim Powers. Managed to read all 360 pages of it in two days. Though it's not quite as impressive/perfect as The Anubis Gates, The Last Call and The Stress..., it's still a great story. If I were a bathroom reader (gross!), I'd have taken the book with me. Very engrossing and for a Powers book, it's pretty straight forward.
I've started This Census-Taker by China Mieville. 75 pages in and I'm not quite sure where the story is heading. That's not to say there isn't a story; compared to some of the writing exercises in Three Moments, this is all story. Curious to see what happens next.
Still powering through 'It'. Don't have a lot of consistent reading time at the moment, but I'm managing to read big chunks, a few times a week. Funny to come across Stringer Dedham, from Straub's 'Ghost Story'. I love little cross overs like that.
I love the Stand. Or more correctly, loved the shit out of it when I read it as a teenager.
I have yet to read the un-cut version. I have a copy but it is buried in a box somewhere and Ive not been able to find it.
I really need to re-read The Stand!

What are you currently reading?
I'm planning on re-reading IT and The Stand this year. Keep getting distracted with other books. Currently I'm reading Summer of Night after the recent discussion about it and the upcoming Anniversary edition.
Whoever suggested Replay, thanks! I just finished this morning (audiobook). It was fantastic. I was worried it would be redundant early on, but no worry of that. Are his other books good?
I've read only one other of his books and was a bit disappointed. (I can't remember the title, though.) I also was blown away by Replay.

Yup, Replay is a gem. Loved it. One of my all-time favorite books. I should thank Roy at badmoonbooks for recommending it to me.
I look forward to reading it. My copy should arrive any day now.
Currently reading, READY PLAYER ONE, by Ernest Cline. This story is awesome.

That's a very fun, imaginative book. I am excited to see what Speilberg does with it. I finished All the Light We Cannot See a few days ago and just loved it. What did you think of it Patrick?
That is such a good one! I really hope SP's limited gives it the justice it deserves.

EDIT: I just did a deeper search of my email. Apparently I did order a copy of the S/L back in June of last year. I am so stoked!

Excellent book, and you'll want to jump into the whole Matthew Corbett series after!

My sons (15 and 13) are reading the book, too. They love it. I may pick up a couple S/L's in the aftermarket for them.

I'm on the 3rd book of the Old Man's War series by John Scalzi. My father recommended it time and time again and I always shrugged it off with a 'ya ya ya, I'll get to it,' but man, I was wrong to put it off as long as I did, it's a great series (so far). Anybody looking for a good book sci-fi book that leads into a good series, check it out.
