I really thought I was going to love 11/22/63, but I read the first half, and never picked it up again.

I wonder what I did with the DVD of THE STAND?  I would love to watch it again.

IT was a very good miniseries, until they made the mistake of showing the audience It.  Better for the audience to see It in their own minds.

TOD

I only read: Carrie (Which I don't think was well written) The Shining and his collection of short stories whose name I have forgotten. There were some really spooky stories in that book.

Good morning.  It was a surprisingly  busy week at the tax office, so I'll have to try to catch up on what I've missed on HHW during the weekend.

Good morning. I thought I would sleep in this morning until 4:30, but Joshie thought I should get up at 3:30 to feed him.

TOD:

The Shining
Christine

He wrote a book about horror movies and growing up, but I can't find the title....it's non fiction.....I had the paperback.  It might be DANSE MACABRE....but I'm not sure.

I had a very bad night, physical sickness not at all related to my back or leg, and slept quite late.

I need to do laundry, but I have no energy at the moment to accomplish anything.  I may spend the day lying down and procrastinate until tomorrow.

DR Ginny introduced me to Stephen King.  I had a tonsillectomy in 1976, I think, and she brought me "The Shining" to read while I recuperated.  It terrified me, and I then read "'Salem's Lot," which did the same.  I thought "Carrie" was weak and that the film was better than the book.

I really liked "Danse Macabre" and the short story collections as well as "Christine," "Cujo," and "Pet Sematary." After that, I felt he no longer cared what an editor thought, and the books grew longer and the content meandered.  I wanted to like "It," but I thought it was far too long, never lived up to its opening chapters, had a ridiculous conclusion, and I never read another of his books.

I liked Salems Lot  very  much and the first half of the Stand terrified me, especially  as I was read the beginning of it while in the waiting room of the local ER during a flu epidemic....  And I have never driven through the holland tunnel since reading that story..bridges only, baby.


The second half of the book was less satisfying

Well, our long national nightmare is just about over.

This evening, provided the day's thunderstorms have completely passed on by 5 p.m. or so, we will have our closing night GYPSY.

If it has to be called, we do it tomorrow.

And nobody wants to have to do it tomorrow.

Show-wise, it's been pretty good.  But it's time to stick a fork in it.
