I want to add that I cried when Laurel begged God to "take it back" after Dinah died. I have felt this way many times in my life. SK described the feeling and put it into words so well.
Somehow she was the one i really wanted to survive...
So sorry I had to miss the discussion last night. I was beat and had an early morning today (5am) so I knew I just couldn't make it. You all did a great job discussing the story. I hope I can be on next week.
Keep us posted if you hear from VL!!

The Discussion Group meets every Friday night at 8:30 p.m. (Central). We discussed The Langoliers already (but please feel free to add your comments to this thread!). We discussed Secret Window, Secret Garden last week and tonight. We will be discussing the first ten chapters of The Library Policeman in Four Past Midnight next Friday night. If you have the opportunity, please join us!
so what do I do. on Friday just come on here and find the forum post and read peoples entries and post mine as is goes?
That's right. If you have a look through this area on Friday, you will no doubt see a new thread go up (it will include Friday's date--the 20th) and you can join in on the discussion there.
Hey there guys, I am new to this Forum, but I have been reading Stephens work for years now. I just have a quick question... Been reading Langoliers lately and there is this line there: He was actually sort of relieved that the Bank of Americas answer to General Patton was gone.
I could not understand that line. Google also does not show anything about the connection between Bank of America and General Patton. Could you tell me what does Stephen mean there?

Welcome. It's been a while since I read The Langoliers, but I don't think it's an actual connection between General Patton and Bank of America. I think it's just that the guy he was supposed to meet was a General Patton type of guy.
The line talks about the death of Craigs father, he did not really like him and he was glad he died, but I still do not understand what does that particular line mean. It would be cool if I could ask Stephen myself, because no one seems to know the answer.
Here it is:
"Craig was nine years old when his father died of a heart attack. He was actually sort of relieved that the Bank of America's answer to General Patton was gone".
I think that "Bank of America's answer to General Patton" refers to his dead father, but I do not understand the meaning of it.

...let me see if I can help....General Patton was a hard nosed, VERY demanding and sometimes abusive military officer-that was never satisfied with anything but total and complete annihilation of his enemies....which when applied to an executive of BOA and as a father-couldn't have been enjoyable for subordinates or his family....
Thank you so very much, now I understand what Stephen meant by that.
I did not really remember that Craigs father was a BOA employee.
