Just started reading "The Stand" **SPOILERS**

[Proverbs32]

Just started this very popular SK book, Only my 2nd SK Book I've been reading too. And I have to say it's so far amazing!!!, Finished Chapter 1 already on the bus this morning, with people sneezing, coughing, wheezing it was a scary experience esp when some bloke let rip some serious green muck. A great start kept me hooked.....Now onto Chapter 2 & more, Thank you Stephen King my man, your making this winter fly by.

[Proverbs32]

Chapter 2 is very sweet and funny too, The emotional talk about the Pill was well written, I love Gus too. Nice contrast to Chapter 1 overall....Ok onto Chapter 3.

[J.T. Adams]

I'll never forget the first time I read this book, I could go nowhere without the novel in my hands.

Hallways, my mind remembers walking up and down hallways reading, reading, at home? School? Grocery store? Can't remember, but remember being enthralled through and through . . . then my imagination seemed so much more clear, hyperactive even, and on overload.

Miss those days.

Proverbs you will never have the chance to read it for the first time again, so may it be well with you, and well savored.

Thank you, yes I'd thought I would record my thoughts and feelings as I'm reading this. I shall do so every 5 or 10 Chapters seeing that their's over 70!!!

Just up to Chapter 7, And with the backgrounds of Joe Bob & his message to the others who was there at that fateful Hapscomb's Texaco station the night before. Then onto the widering impact of the flu outback with Starkey and his fight for control of the ever growing situation that's getting out of hand. Then onto Larry Underwood and his party hard fast living after a touch of success only to be brought back down to earth and to his mother. I really like Larry & Starkey too. I will update what I think when I'm up to Chapter 15, then from every 5 or 10 chapter's after that. Just to record my thought's and feeling as I read this very important work by Stephen King. So I hope it won't get too boring for you all to read my thought's as I get stuck in!!!.

Sounds like you have the uncut version there, Proverb. Great recap. I think we should have "spoiler" in the title of the thread..
