The Stand
The Stand | Stephen King
Stephen Kings apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil remains as riveting and eerily plausible as when it was first published.A patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of the worlds population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emergeMother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious Dark Man, who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between themand ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.(This edition includes all of the new and restored material first published inThe Stand:The Complete And Uncut Edition.)From the Trade Paperback edition.

Little late with my #bookspin list, but here it is. 21-25 will be impulse reads. I've been in a slump for a few months it seems, so I'm hoping this and #hauntedshelf will help get my mojo back.

I reread The Stand every couple of years. Sometimes I listen to the audio, sometimes I do the ebook, but this time I was feeling nostalgic and pulled out my 1991 copy that was my first ever King experience. It's falling apart a bit (30+ years and multiple reads will do that), so I'm just hoping it'll hold together for this read.

Do you have any old books that you still pull out and read even though their condition is questionable?

Ruthiella The only physical book I feel that kind of affection for is Martin Chuzzlewit. It‘s not Dickens‘ best work but it‘s the one I read first. My Penguin paperback doesn‘t match my other Dickens books but I can‘t give it away. 2w
Beatlefan129 I have my mom‘s copy of The Outsiders from the 1970s. It‘s falling apart because we both read it so many times 2w
Traci1 @Beatlefan129 oh I love that. I've got some of my mom's Kinsey Milhone paperbacks that we shared back in the 80s and 90s. 2w

I was held hostage for over a month reading this brick. The book is too long and I didn‘t need all the details. Yet the fantastical prose combined with religious allegories kept me turning the page to see what was next. The book possesses several themes, but the greatest is that evil will always exist in the world and that it‘s up to us to overcome it. But be wary of power and political systems.

“I‘ve come to teach you how to be civilized.”

Getting a late start on my new SK project this year (due to taking January to finish off last year's project). I still hope to average one a month and get through the 24 books on my extended Dark Tower list by the end of 2025. However, this utter brick of a book will take as long as it takes! I'll catch up later.

Leniverse @julesG Even the abridged version is a thousand pages. 🤣 At 1400 this seems like it should be a series. But if it made sense to split it up into two or more books, then I guess they would have, instead of cutting 400 pages to keep printing costs down. 8mo

I've loved his work for many many years, and it's still blows my mind that when I first read his books in high school I didn't like him as an author at all! 😱 But then I gave him another try and I read the stand a few years after that and it completely blew my mind and still remains one of my favorite books to this day! He is definitely one of my biggest comfort authors! 💕📚

I first read King‘s opus when I was 13 years old - the thought of a global plague as inconceivable as King‘s other supernatural creations. It was unsettling to reread this in the age of COVID, and while King‘s literal battle between God and the Devil may not be playing out today as he imagined, it‘s difficult not to sometimes feel that we might be living in a version of King‘s post-plague world. ⬇️

BeckyWithTheGoodBooks Kings‘s storytelling is incredible here - giving each character, no matter how minor, a richness and backstory integral to the overall saga. Every shade of humanity and morality is represented, and each character feels unique and real. Everything in this book has meaning. ⬇️ 1y
BeckyWithTheGoodBooks There are some problems with the novel and at times, it IS cringingly problematic. But I simply can‘t deny the impact and influence this novel has had on me for almost 30 years. If an apocalypse should occur in my remaining lifetime, I hope I‘ll fall in with the Stus, Frannies, and Nicks of the world. 5⭐️ (edited) 1y

This was a #SuperChunkster. It's really kind of too long. #ChunksterChallenge2023 @Amiable I am kind of speechless on what to think about this book. But being a The Walking Dead fan, humans really don't change. I managed to get one bingo spot in #ISpyBingoJune @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks. I also got a spot bingo on the #NSR23 @Nessavamusic. I am starting to think that I'm really not a Stephen King fan. I wanted to know what happened to Tom lol

There's a reason many readers of King list The Stand as their favorite - it's an incredible book. The way King weaves so many disparate threads into an apocalyptic tapestry is masterful, and his ability to make you care for a plethora of characters is put to excellent use here. From the first inkling that something in the machinations of man has gone awry to the final sobering ruminations on our ultimate nature, this is a truly riveting read. 5/5

The biggest #killer in The Stand was the virus. This book is in my top 10 favorites of all time. As you can probably tell from my copy's state, I've read it quite a few times. I could get a new one, I guess, but I kind of love that you can see from the cracks and loose pages how loved this book has been.
