I've been re-reading The Stand. It's been so long I forgot the book. While there are many complaints on the new series by CBS, and I agree the non-linier method of storytelling is a pain, I'm enjoying it. The version I'm reading is the expanded, uncut version. I was a bit hesitant on the length but it's flying by. I'm a little over 20% in and find it fascinating. Some books I read when I was younger, with less patience, will likely resonate better with me now. I could not find my physical copy so assume, since it was so old, it was probably damaged and tossed. I'm reading an ebook version - for this type of keeper book, I'd like to get a copy for the shelves to match the others in my King collection. I am not a fan of the newer covers, so may find an older cover in used and good format, still searching. Also has to be reasonably priced; some aren't!
I am doing the audio of The Women on the Orient Express. Pacing is soft, but it's not bad. It was one of the cheap audio upgrades to 1.99 so I am mainly reading it that way.
Otherwise I'm reading some UF and PNR series, and still working on a cozy mystery that's the second in a series, Design for Murder by Carolyn G. Hart, finishing up the horror Devil's Creek by Todd Kiesling.
