I'm doing my post now because I won't finish The Stand before the end of the month unless I binge read. Unfortunately, I have to work so that'll interfere with any binge reading I try to do.
It's not likely I'm going to finish this book any time soon. I still haven't gotten out of Part 1 in the book. Overall, I'm not a huge dystopia fan, though Hunger Games did take me by surprise in my enjoyment of it. King's writing doesn't really pose a problem for me. He writes really well and I can hear the characters in the way he's describing them. Subject matter for me is what made it hard to read. I've heard the plot picks up once Part 1 ends but right now, I have a hard time bringing myself to read it.
I'm going to keep trying to read it. I've been curious about reading Stephen King's work, as I've heard he's a great author. Perhaps The Stand wasn't the one for me to start with, but I will finish it at some point. It may be in small parts, or maybe once I finally get myself out of Part 1 I'll find myself hooked into the rest of it.
You've definitely made an interesting choice here, Katie. One I'm determined to finish at some point, but slowly. :-)

I feel like this is going to like Don Quixote...I'll get to the end eventually. I have heard that King throws so much into each of his stories that it gets a bit tedious getting through the stories. You know I love dystopian novels...But this one was hard to get hrough for me honestly. I'm barely done with book one.
