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. 1mo

PaperbackPirate I wanted to join in on this one but just didn‘t have the time. Maybe later this year! 1mo
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. 1mo
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) 1mo
Bookwormjillk @TieDyeDude yes, I did it on audio this time. It works. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude how can they do that to poor Trashy! He‘s so important! 1mo
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. 1mo
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. 1mo
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! 1mo
Roary47 I read this last year and have to say it‘s one of my favorites. 😍 1mo
