The Stand is my favorite book of all time.
This was my third time through it and my opinion hasn't changed one bit. I am in awe of this creation.
Full review to come...stay tuned!!!
Let's be real though, if that ever actually happens, it's just going to be me swooning for roughly nineteen paragraphs. Don't hold your breath.

Hi friends. Hello.
I am listening to the audiobook, but tracking my progress in my Uncut Hardcover from 1990. When I have thoughts I will post them guessing my percentage along, but I will also put the page number in the hard copy.
This probably matters to literally no one but myself, I just wanted to memorialize my goals with this reread.
Thank you and good morning, afternoon, or night."

I love how King narrates the spread of the virus from the patient zero outward. It's horrifying to think about and proves once again, now is the perfect time to read The Stand!"

Flagg getting into his Buick for the first time really made me think of Manx and his Wraith, and then I thought, should I read NOS4A2 for the third time this Christmas?

They were American people and there was a kind of dirty, compelling romance about them whenever they were in groups---never mind if the group was in an Aspen ski lodge or performing their prosaic-arcane rites of summer along US 1 in Maine. And now all those Americans were gone."

They were nice enough people and all, but there wasn't much love in them. Because they were too busy being afraid. Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn't grow well in a place it was always dark.

I still cherish my time spent reading this book.

I'd love to know why you love it. I haven't read it yet.
Selena wrote: "I'd love to know why you love it. I haven't read it yet." It's just an epic story. The build up is so big. The cast of characters is great. It's the ultimate showdown of good versus evil. I love the post-apocalyptic elements, seeing how different people would react and move forward from the end of our society as we know it. The building; watching different characters either go to the side of good or the side of evil. I just think it is so well constructed. You get to the end and are like, holy shit.
Selena wrote: "I'd love to know why you love it. I haven't read it yet."Oh also, in the beginning portion, watching how the cause of society's demise spread. That part is amazing.
I start this in Jan. So excited!
