There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Very much this, and I love all the Boston area references as well.
I do, too. It's why he reminds me of Stephen King - he's explaining Boston to me the way King did Bangor. The other thing that reminds me so much of King is all of the pop culture references, although they risk sounding very dated at times and can pull me right out of a story.

I've just started reading King, and I can see the similarities.
I hadn't read any King in years and years until I downloaded his newest quartet of novellas onto the Kindle. I liked two of the stories very much. I downloaded The Stand to re-read, but I think it's a revised version; it doesn't seem like the same book.
The version I read was the big uncut revised edition with an extra hundred pages or whatever. I loved it.
The uncut version is the one with "Happy crappy"! God, I love that book. I should read it again.
The original version didn't have "happy crappy" everywhere? Huh!
I'm pretty sure in the edited version there was no Trashcan Man or any of that, yeah.

Which was this? I read his recent baseball story, Blockade Billy , which I really loved and then downloaded Ur on my Kindle, which I also enjoyed. So, I decided to start at the beginning. I read Carrie last year and TCG gave me Salem's Lot for Christmas which I also loved.

NO Trashcan Man?? I thought the uncut version just expanded his role. Man, how can you have that book without Trashcan Man? Isn't he kind of pivotal?? MY LIFE FOR YOOOOOU.
I LOVE The Stand. I read it in high school and I remember it taking forever. There were also so many characters I had to make lists to keep them all straight! But I remember enjoying it a ton. I always mean to read more Stephen King; I've liked everything of his that I have read.
