I was in the city yesterday and stopped by Barnes & Noble to kill some time. I was browsing the shelves of books, turned the corner and there was 4 or 5 shelves filled with Stephen King’s books. I picked up IT, making sure to avoid the creepy picture on the front and leafed through it. Then I started reading...and ended up buying the book! It’s a long one but I’m looking forward to reading it!
The last time I read a Stephen King book I was 12 or 13 and had terrible nightmares for a week or so. My mother wouldn’t let me read anymore of his books! I’m not expecting to have the same problems this time around! I think it will be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to the It-along hosted by Softdrink Jill!
I don’t agree that Clowns are Fun, though...they’re creepy and weird!

ReplyDeleteThis is one (ok, not the only one - there have been many) King book that has never appealed to me. I did used to devour his books though when I was in my early twenties. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined. I have been having a good time with it.
ReplyDeleteI read this book umpteen years ago, but I LOVED it. I could not lay it down, and I think I was in college which was as distracted as I could get. It is long but it seemed to go fast for me. I can't wait to see what you all think!
ReplyDeleteYay! I joined too. Can't wait to see what I think!
ReplyDeleteIt's really very creepy - audio version here.
ReplyDeleteThis will NOT change your opinion about clowns. It is such a good book though!
