BarbaraTheBibliophage Woo hoo!! Are we starting today?? And I like your new profile picture! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! Whenever you are ready! Should we do a schedule or just dive in? 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Well, I have one of the early editions. If you have a later edition, they won‘t match exactly. He added some pages back into the later ones. So I think we just dive in!! (edited) 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Ok, that‘s fine by me! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Had I known, I wouldn‘t have bought the vintage copy. And yet, it‘s kind of cool too. So maybe we can compare and figure out what got added back. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage That‘s ok, I have my mom‘s older Hardcover and a kindle version, I‘ll probably read the kindle version just for ease of reading. 6y
ephemeralwaltz Great month! 👏👏👏 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I just looked, my kindle version has 3 Parts, and 78 chapters. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage The one I have is 823 pages and has 68 chapters. However you decide is cool by me. 👏🏻👏🏻 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Wow! I must definitely have an extended version then. So yes, I‘ll read that one and we can compare notes as we go. See if the additions are great or just extraneous. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ephemeralwaltz Thank you 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It‘s a plan!! From what I understand, your version is closer to King‘s original manuscript. His publisher forced him to cut lots of it b/c they didn‘t think a massive book would sell. They didn‘t get him ... yet. And once he had the track record to take control, he “fixed” the book. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, that‘s what he said in a note at the beginning. He says some thought The Stand was too long to begin with, so don‘t get this book if that was you....but otherwise, it‘s the version he first wrote, without the cuts the “original” version had. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage 👍🏻 Makes sense. He writes good Author‘s Notes in many of his books. 6y
