Was it any good? I am hesitant to count this (in my head) as a "proper" Stephen King book since it was initially a TV screenplay. I may have started a publication-order Stephen King read and wondering if I should include this when it comes up.

I though it was good 4/5 but if you seen the series, you have read the book. It is exactly the same.

I have not seen the series, so I may as well try the book! Thanks.

I am failing miserably at this challenge. That is, I’m reading a pretty long 2nd hand paperback purchase but it’s taking forever to finish and it’ll be my first one.

I'm there with you. I am eternally 4-books deep on library loans that I feel I have to read before getting to my for-keeps stuff. Maybe in November... if I stop getting more library books....

I finally finished my first book in this challenge! 1/4 - Downbelow Station by CJ Cherryh is a book hot hat has been on my shelf longing to be read for so long I have no idea where I got it or how much I paid for it. Chances are, though, that I bought it in Madison, WI at the Frugal Muse for not more than $4 (half the cover price), probably less.
