Okay so this feels like The Stand revisited and so far I am so here for it?? Much more fast paced, but as always, SK continues to work magic with his character development

I've heard that this one is meh, but honestly off to a very compelling start!

I respect what he was doing here, thanks to the afterword, but I didn't *enjoy* it lol

Lol and the bit seems to be that they keep saying "this ain't a story, but if it was....." 🤔🤔🤔

Second one in a row that follows the "listening to the old folks spin a yarn" format lol

Mission accomplished! Compelling for sure, but not a favorite.

I saw the movie and then was not motivated to finish this lol but I'm gonna try!!!!!

Okay you know this one is ....lacking.... when it's about a dead dad and I didn't even cry at the end lol JUST SAYING but yes I did find out what happened to the dog

Okay it took a bit more than 200 pages for me to really get invested! And mostly I just wanna know what happens to the dog....but there's a cool multi-narrator, storytelling happening & that's working really well

Okay this one is kinda silly lol

Kinda meh so far, but gonna stick with it!

"a propensity to be saucy" vibes!

"Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living" I'll say!!!!!

Not sure if I like this yet or not?????

My biggest takeaway is that Stephen King actually finished reading House of Leaves lololol

KIDDING no this was a super cool behind the scenes look at the process and SK's process in particular. Even though I'm not much of a writer myself, this was still a valuable read & the philosophy of it all feels universal

"Unscrupulous fucks" is so good lmao

I think I'm following?????? Lololol

Okay that grief book I tried to get back to might not be for me but let's give this one a go lol

Thank you friends for the rec! A book about what it means to be human and live and lose and OOF

You guys I was not READY

Every other page has a phrase that is like a poignant STAB in the chest and alas that is what makes it GOOD.

Yes!!!!!

I wanted to love this!!!!! It was pretty good, but you can't beat the initial feeling of The Talisman

"...his utensils might as well have been cleaned by cats" okay????
