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!

Now why did I read that as King Stephen?

Been reading too much early mediaeval history again I suspect! :o)

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.

It sounds like you're taking on some of his most lengthy novels. I've read both, and enjoyed them, although it seems like ages ago, as I read them when they were first published. I also really enjoyed Insomnia, should you feel like adding one more to your list.
