Bookwormjillk I don‘t even know where to start! I don‘t think I‘ll ever get sick of reading and re-reading this one. 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk never ever ever. Always and forever my favorite! 1w

PaperbackPirate I wanted to join in on this one but just didn‘t have the time. Maybe later this year! 1w

TieDyeDude I really enjoyed the graphic novel adaptation. I'm not a fan of the artist's style, but it was consistent and the characters were discernable (which isn't always the case in comics with a large cast). The overall focus was more on the Colorado crew, but it never felt rushed or lacking. I would say the biggest miss was Trashy. His story kinda dropped off after he got to Vegas, so his role in the finale felt underdeveloped. 1w

TieDyeDude I has been about 5 years since I read The Stand for the first time. I was surprised at how much came back to me as I was doing this re-read, though I mostly forgot the Vegas finale 🤷‍♂️ Maybe in another 5 years, I'll read the uncut novel 😋 Has anyone done this on audio? (edited) 1w

Bookwormjillk @TieDyeDude yes, I did it on audio this time. It works. 1w

BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude how can they do that to poor Trashy! He‘s so important! 1w

JessClark78 I‘m only about a hundred pages in, but this is my third or fourth time reading The Stand. I‘m always amazed at how King can write so many characters in one book. 1w

kwmg40 I too am doing a reread, but I only got about a quarter of the way through before having to return it to the library. It's a gripping read but I had way too many books on the go already. I'll resume when I get the book again, and in the meantime, I'm really enjoying this more leisurely read, instead of the frantic page-turning experience last time, trying to find out what happens next. 1w

bekakins I didn‘t manage to do a reread but this is one of my favourite King novels - such great character development in this one! 7d

Roary47 I read this last year and have to say it‘s one of my favorites. 😍 4d

AllDebooks I started The Long Walk in December but bailed as found it troubling and non-festive. 😅 I'll go back to it as I do want to know the outcome. 2w

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks definitely not festive 🤣 2w

BookmarkTavern I love all the side characters in this book so much! Mr Bent, and Igor, and Mr Fusspot! I‘d read an entire book about Mr Bent. I did want more Adora Belle in this story. 1mo

BookmarkTavern I do like that Moist is like “Adora Belle is 90% of my impulse control” and the rest of the city just seems to know that. 1mo

julesG @BookmarkTavern Mr Bent is an interesting character indeed. 4w

julesG And they are only engaged at the moment, what happens once they are married. Will he be sedate? 4w

Balibee146 My favourite thing about the Moist Von Lipwig series is the good amount of Vetinari we get. I love the way he appropriates Mr Fusspot, yes he wants to hold on to him as the bank Chairman; but I have a sneaking suspicion he also really wanted the little doggie 😊 4w

julesG @Balibee146 Agree, more Vetinari is nice. And that's how I read it too, Vetinari was looking forward to having a doggie. 4w

kwmg40 I enjoyed this book, though not as much as Going Postal. I too find Vetinari a really interesting character, and loved meeting Mr. Fusspot. 4w

BarbaraJean I really enjoyed this one, but I agree with @kwmg40--not as much as I enjoyed Going Postal. I felt like the social/governmental satire was stronger there, plus more Adora Belle! Prior to this buddy read, I'd only read Mort and the Tiffany Aching books, so Vetinari is getting slowly revealed to me as we move along, and I'm finding him fascinating. @Balibee146 I agree, he wanted a doggie! He needed a little buddy now that Wuffles is gone 😢 3w

Balibee146 @BarbaraJean awww little Wuffles 😟 3w

The Stand | Stephen King

Laughing because this is the bookmark that came up in my mug, it‘s from a romance author at a book con I went to a couple years ago. Not so sure doctor romance could handle Captain Trips 🤣 #losersclub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

Bookwormjillk It was fun to revisit his earlier stories and see him start to play with some of his longer books and themes. My dad had the version with the eyeball hand on the cover when I was a kid and I always had nightmares about it. Also Children if the Corn was a sleepover favorite so yay for nostalgia. 1mo

AllDebooks I enjoyed this collection. As @Bookwormjillk said, it's fun seeing the formation of his longer works. Children of the corn was so creepy. X 1mo

TieDyeDude I was surprised to see him flirt with sci-fi with I Am the Doorway. He doesn't seem to play in that sandbox too often. I liked the "bad deal" stories, Quitters Inc, The Ledge, Lawnmower Man. Lawnmower, Trucks, and Mangler were pretty silly ? I found Last Rung ? maybe the most memorable. It had an aching sweetness to it, but I seem to like unrequited/unreciprocated love stories for some reason... 1mo

BarkingMadRead @alldebooks children of the corn has always creeped me out! The movie is so messed up! @TieDyeDude yes! Mangler was so silly at the end 🤣 1mo

Balibee146 Oh I love that edition. I didn't pick up Night Shift last month sadly but I do like it as a collection. I really enjoy King short stories 😍 1mo

LoverOfLearning Just recently started reading SK! Long list of books to read 😩 1mo

kwmg40 I enjoyed these stories, especially because, as @Bookwormjillk mentioned, we can see themes that King expands on in future books. Like several of you here, I too found Children of the Corn very creepy. 1mo

Karkar A little late to the party. This is one of my favorite of SK‘s short story collections. So many great ones in this book! 1mo
