    Great tag and beautiful scenery! I loved 11/22/63, will be interesting to hear your thoughts. I would agree, I have also read the uncut version of The Stand and it is a big boy! I really disliked Bleak House, required reading for me at university. Great dinner party! 🤣 I added Hannibal Lector as the chef, under close supervision of course. 🤣Harry Potter was a fun series. Great responses!

      @@CliffsDarkGems Thank you! I like Bleak House a lot, but that’s because I actually wanted to read it. Required reading is never fun, that’s why I’ve developed a life long allergy to Jane Austin.
      Definitely loving 11/22/63. I hadn’t actually read any King since the Dark Tower apart from a brief dip back in for Wind Through The Keyhole, but this one might just have opened that door up again for me.

      @@TheBookThing Happy Reading! The only Dickens I ever loved was A Tale Of Two Cities. I love Stephen King and am planning a re-read of the entire Dark Tower soon.

    Fun tag and fantastic view!!
    11/22/63 and The Stand are on my list of books to read this year. I just started reading King late last year and I have a handful that I’m still hoping to read.

      Thanks a million. 11/22/63 and The Stand are a bit intimidating because of how big they are, but they’re two of his best.

      lol. That’s kinda my point about Confederacy of Dunces, people have wildly different experiences with it so how can anyone possible say if it’s objectively good or not. There’s plenty of highly regarded prizewinning, books I can’t stand. It’d be boring if we were all the same.
