A Landmark

I made some progress through my pile of abandoned books by finally finishing IT yesterday. It's the first Stephen King book, aside from a couple of short stories and On Writing, that I tried reading, and even though I loved every single minute of it I bought this book back in November. It's a relief to have it checked off the list. To celebrate, I'm starting another probably-months-long reading project with The Stand. Only around sixteen chapters in, but I love it already!

Woo! I don't think I'd have the stamina to get through IT, so kudos for you! I've only read one Stephen King book (Carrie) but I loved it. I should really check out more of his stuff.

I need to read Carrie! Finishing IT up did take a bit of doing, but it is one of those books that absolutely needs that many pages to get where it's going--the main characters are all so wonderful, and the ending just blew me away.
