Are you referring to the stand?

If so be prepared for 77 chapters
Yes! I've been burning through books too quickly lately. It seems I either have too much in the queue, or I'm scrounging through my books looking for one I haven't read in a while. The Stand definitely qualifies as a book I haven't read in a while, and it's a whole lotta book so it should keep me paged-up for at least a week!

What did you guys think of
the stand ? And how long did it take you guy's to read it?

I've got 50 more chapters to read!!
Just did a reread of the Stand - the first time around I read the one that was published back when he was forced to edit it, as the publishers thought it was too long. This was right around the time the book came out or perhaps one or two years later.

This time I read the uncut version. It was almost like reading a new book as so much time had passed since the first time.

I paced myself and enjoyed it very much.
