Hi Doc (and everyone in the book club!),

I’m so bummed I missed out on the first meeting by a couple days! Although, to be fair I even if I had joined the group sooner I still most likely wouldn't have been far enough in the book to participate. Does this mean I won’t be able to participate as a character – with my name drawn from the hat? Also, did I hear correctly that the next meeting will be in October or November?

I’m getting settled into the book. It is my first reading and I am enjoying myself greatly, thus far. I’m currently on page 220 – CH. 24. A weird note: I am reading the uncut Anchor Books edition paperback. Is anyone else reading this edition? I only ask because my copy does not seem to divide the book into three parts. Do the other editions do this?

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited!

Hi The Night Librarian -- Doc Creed is leading this group discussion but I'll try to give you some info

Chapter 43 appears to be the beginning for Part Two of The Stand. Please feel free to post any thoughts about part one in this thread

it is open for discussion.

Doc will pick a date for the next discussion of part two for sometime in Oct. ( chapter 61 appears to be the beginning of part 3)-- that should be for Nov.
Read through the link and enjoy the thoughts, then add yours.

Hello, Night Librarian. I'm sorry you missed the first meeting and the drawing but there will be two more meetings. Early November most likely. I will post day and time in this thread shortly. I hope you will join us!
Thank you, Spidey, for the helpful information. Spideyman

Oh, I'll be there! As soon as I finish Book One I will read through the discussion and add any thoughts I may have! This is so much fun! The Stand has been on my to-read list for so many years now and I've always had the feeling it would be epic and so exciting in scope. I am not dissapointed and I have many miles before I sleep!
