You'll wish it was even longer. I always do.

That's what I like to hear

Is this the right time to start reading the Stand

I was already reading a lot in recent months. Gonna be pumping those numbers up even more now.

Finished Carrie liked it alot.

Though it was short, Caliban Cove was pretty lame I started dragging my feet reading it, so I finally finished the other day and now onto Dark Tower 4.5: The Wind Through The Keyhole.

If you didn't like Wizard & Glass due to the halt in plot development, I'd recommend skipping Wind Through the Keyhole. It was written after the series was done and is pure backstory.

Yep I'm aware it was written after the fact. It's also much much shorter than Wizard & Glass, so I don't feel like I'll be as annoyed.

Finally finished Diamonds are Forever. This was a steep drop in quality from the previous 3. I liked the Tiffany Case character but little else.

Man, I haven't done any reading since I started Wind Through The Keyhole. Not that I"m not into it, just my mind won't let me focus on just reading. Hope it's just a phase.

I couldn't get through the first page of The Stand I'm just not ready having a much easier time with comics

Read the first 40 pages of The Stand today. Eerie how it mirrors our current situation.

More than 100 pages read today loving it so far

Is this your first time going through The Stand?

Yeah first time reading. I watched the miniseries once in the early nineties but all remember was a guy riding a bomb

Oooh, then you're in for a treat. Like the miniseries, the first half is better, but it's still my favorite book.

300 pages into The Stand and just met Trashcan. Incredible book so far.

Totally forgot about Wind Through The Keyhole...

Yeah...I'm not into it at all. The shift to first-person perspective is a strong dislike too. Not a fan of 1st person, and I'm usually okay when King does it, but feels wrong here.

It's a completely unnecessary book, so don't feel bad if you skip it.

Finished all 9 novels in the James Ellroy-verse, now waiting for my copies of Don Winslow's Cartel trilogy, which I've heard are incredible.
