Right now I think I will go classical and read Treasure Island, or Dracula.


I've owned THE STAND for a couple of years now (it was given to me as a gift). I'd like to read it as I didn't see all of the mini-series that came out in the 1990's. I read IT last year for a second time and loved it. It's just these books require so much time to go through.
