I, too, am handing out THE STAND on Monday. I only hope that the people who receive it will appreciate it as much as I did!Jenn's Bookshelveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053675949434770878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-5984624297598136002012-04-18T12:24:12.311-06:002012-04-18T12:24:12.311-06:00Ah, THE STAND, what a wonderful book.

I had read SALEM'S LOT and was amazed at this horror story that I just fell into - first time for vampires. And then I managed to get a copy of THE STAND. Oh...my...goodness. Such an experience. I've probably read it 3 or 4 times. Haven't gone back to it for probably 20 years. I think it might be time again and do you say that it's available in audio? OK, I'm going to find it. <br /><br />Good luck with your event on Monday night. Just think, 20 people will get to experience this great book. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-78755454882881365582012-04-18T12:08:01.134-06:002012-04-18T12:08:01.134-06:00Thanks, everyone!

I just recently devoured Alex Adams's WHITE HORSE and highly recommend it.Becky LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030931605009567165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-15465195141343571032012-04-18T11:45:00.164-06:002012-04-18T11:45:00.164-06:00I think I must have read The Stand at about the sa...I think I must have read The Stand at about the same time. I was already a big Stephen King fan at that time. Also as a reluctant reader my parents really didn't care what I was reading ... just so long as I didn't bug them about nightmares anything was fair game.<br /><br />The Stand didn't turn me into a Stephen King junkie, rather it made me into an apocalyptic fiction junkie. I read Swan Song And Battlefield Earth soon after. <br /><br />So remember you may start 20 people on the road to being Stephen King junkies ... but you may also turn them onto end of the world fiction in general.
