I'm actually reading The Stand: Expanded Edition that came out a couple of years ago. So far, I love this book. It's scary to think that this virus spread so quickly. When I started reading and people started dying in the first part of the book, I was on a plane to Houston and these people just started coughing. I started freaking out, because I wondered if they had the Stand virus and if I was going to die now.

I love how Stephen King just gets you so into a character for a short period of a time and then in the end of the chapter, he writes that the character sniffles (which means death). The only problem right now is that there are so many characters and he jumps around them like a ball (mainly because they have not intertwined just yet...saw the movie, so I know it happens), which makes it hard to remember who is who and where they are in the story.

Otherwise, I'm captivated.
