              Recently spotted an audio of a few Stephen King stories. One of the story is read by Stephen King and one is read by Tabitha King so I had to have it:

                      Look up the titles you got in the grab bag. Very nice indeed. Love the bookmarks, too.

                      And I hope you've READ the better version of The Stand.

                            Resist what? I am sure you have realized that the uncut version of The Stand tells the better story!

                              I know the the uncut version cheapens the sacrifice of Larry, Glenn, and Ralph with Flagg being reborn as Russell Faraday--it takes a superb morality tale and recasts it as a hopeless quest for peace and serenity; and that it leaves little details of the 70's and 80's in a story of the 90's, making the book and veryu bumpy ride; and that I seriously doubt King predicted AIDS in 1978, so it couldn't be the way it was originally intended; and that the scene between Frannie and her dead father before burying him was the only worthwhile addition to the work; and that the scene between the Kid and Tom Cullen was gratuitous and completely unnecessary; and while King obviously wants The Stand to be remembered as the complete and uncut version, he never went back and rewote W&G to have Roland and his Ka-tet enter Topeka of 1996 (so it's the 1978 version that's most important to the DT series); and I could go on and on, but there's really no point. King is allowed a vanity project every now and again (can't think of someone more deserving), but it doesn't make it better.

                              Anyway, glad to see you got a copy of the original for your collection.
