I ordered a Dvd of The Stand miniseries because I have never seen all of it. This made me also realize that I have never finished the book.

So, I am going to read it and keep notes here (and on one other site).

I couldn't remember where I left off reading exactly and my kindle no longer had my bookmarks.
It was somewhere near where all the flu-resistant characters meet up. 
I started over. This version I have is the 1989 re-edit and it seems cool.

I didn't realize how much tragedy Stu had seen. If I didn't know something of real life at this point,
I would say it pushes credulity. 

This is my favorite phrase so far:

"and all sorts of embarrassing eructations on her skin"
