I just started reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
Stephen King was the author who got me into reading again as an 18 year old after several years barely picking up a book. The Stand I recall. I read everything of his for years. I haven’t kept up with him as much in recent years but I did read Dr Sleep and enjoyed it. It seems to be begging for a sequel.
I too read The Stand - the uncut version. So great.
Just finished Under the Dome by Stephen King. It was fantastic; I couldn't put it down!
I know your post wasn't intended for me, Beatlemaniac64, but you might want to try the edited version of The Stand. In my personal opinion, it was superior to the uncut version. Just my (unasked-for) 2 cents.
One critic did point out that the whole town went to crap extremely quickly.
Just re-read 1984, for about the 10th time in my lifeI will now re-watch the movie.The book is so absorbing, and so is the story of Orwell and the circumstances surrounding its writing.Its a terrific read for anyone who hasnt, to say life in Orwells 'Oceania' was bleak is an understatement.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
So timely and true.
Been reading musician autobiographies. Currently Jorma Kaukonen. Next up, John Fogerty.
