Race Of A Lifetime

I picked this up today but found out on Amazon that it's actually pretty gossip-y... Has anyone read this and can you confirm this? I might just take it back, I was looking for more of an account of the elections.

Is this your first time with The Stand? If so, I really wish you could have experienced the original . . . not that updated abomination. :)

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

I like the longer version better myself, in spite of it introducing a plot hole here and there.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

Yes, it is. I've had several people who've already read it tell me that they wish they could be me and read it for the first time (not necessarily the longer version). I'm digging it so far. Part of me wishes I would've read the shorter version just because there are long stretches where, while interesting with character moments, nothing seems to happen. For such a long book, a brisker pace would be nice.

But my anal retentiveness wouldn't allow me to read the "less complete" version. :lol:

Horrible book.

I am also reading this book (the same version). I am in page 168 of 1141, so I still have a long way to go. Until this point I am enjoying it.

Maybe we can discuss it when we are done with it.

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

So what is the best version of the Stand to read?

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

Yeah, that'd be cool. Maybe someone should start a "book club" thread at some point. I'm a slow reader - after two months (?) I'm at around page 600 right now - so who knows when I'll get to it. :lol:

I really want to check out the miniseries and comic adaption afterward. It's kind of cool that I've never seen the former or read the latter, so I didn't go in with a preconceived notion of how the book's characters should look or sound (though a friend did tell me some of the cast members after I started the book, so I can't help but "see" them sometimes when I read; I made him stop after the initial disclosure). That's usually not the case when I tackle a book after an adaption's been released.

Have you read Brave Story by the same author? I have had a copy for about a year but it's really long and I haven't tackled it quite yet.

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

I have. I thought it started out really good, then the kid went into the fantasy world and at first it was too much like a video game and I almost quit reading it. Luckily after a bit it broke away from that and it ended up being pretty good (which is why I got this one).

Re: What are you reading? (September 2010)
 

How was this? I haven't read anything by Lippman yet, but after I finished Freedom, I plan to start I'd Know You Anywhere.
