Ok, I need someone to talk me off the ledge. I'm only 3 chapters into IT but I'm not feeling it and considering not "wasting" my time with the rest of it. I'm sure it gets better, but how soon? I know it's a long book and I should give it more time, but I'm having a difficult time just picking it up and reading a chapter to get to that point.
JUMP! JUMP!! JUMP!!!! Seriously it's been a looooooooooong time since I read IT so I couldn't offer you advice. The Stand made much more of an impression on me. It's very long but opens fast.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
