he needed space to go into great detail in the child sex scenes

The first hundred some are just Mike calling each of the other six kids. Otherwise there's a lot of detail given in the kids day-to-day, plus side stories with Henry Bowers and Patrick Hockstetter. There's also a few sections throughout the book which talk about historical events that took place in Derry. There's just a lot going on. Or you could just read it and find out you faggot.

whoa, sounds riveting

why would you unironically read 1300 pages of reddit:the writer

King writes incredibly compelling kid characters, and also the history of the town is super interesting. And really as far as horror in literature goes It is on point. If you don't want to read it don't, but you don't need to be a prick on Yea Forums about it you massive cunt.

are you afraid you fall behind your goodreads goal?

They literally did make him cut it. I remember because I read the uneditted one (which was like 400 pages longer) and the foreward spoke of it, didn't matter because I got a few hundred pages in and realized I did not care for any of it, coming from someone who has enjoyed some of kings early works.

The King in Yellow has 400+ pages but is engrossing so its a breeze to read 100+ pages in a sitting

Based. If your book is longer than 400 pages, then you weren't fucking concise enough.

How does it feel to be wasting HOURS and hours of your life reading coked out nonsense that King doesn't even have the slightest memory of doing?

Not saying all of it is like that, but hundreds of pages are.

How does it feel to be wasting HOURS and hours of your life writing coked out nonsense that Janny doesn't even have the slightest concern of deleting?

Faggot here, can you please greentext some of your personal highlights of IT? I have never been able to stomach more than a half of a King book, but I'm still interested in this child development and Derry history. Could you please help a man out?

No. Read it yourself you pathetic worm

it's just 1600 pages of describing smells

Hello it's me. Here's the deal, the reason I didn't give more detail in my first two posts is cause I read the damn thing two years ago so it's not very fresh. I can at least tell you about some of the history of Derry. There's three specific detailed incidences that I can remember happening in the book. In the first there's a criminal group called the Bradley Gang who come to Derry and the whole town basically rallies and ambushes all of them. The most interesting one has to do with a black bar being burned down and the imagery used to describe people trying to escape is really graphic. The third has a lumberjack guy like cut someone down with an axe in the middle of a crowded bar. They're a lot more interesting than I'm making them sound. I wish I could remember more specific details about the kids, but it really does feel like you're reading about real kids. The first chapter or two are about Georgie getting killed and an attack on Adrian Mellon. I'm gonna say you should give those two a try and if you like them you are gonna have to kinda power through the six phone calls, although even those six phone calls contain a great section when Mike calls Stan where the suspense is palpable. The book does really shine though in the kids sections, and they do make up the bulk of the book, so if you're interested just give it a try and don't let the length intimidate you. Kings prose isn't especially difficult or anything, so it doesn't feel as long as it actually is.

I'm not even a King hater, I think some of his books are worth reading, but I got absolutely nothing out of The Stand. It was a waste of time.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

>sentence is over 15 words
Miss me with that shit

Checked

user, I...

>he actually replied
Thanks a million bro. Perhaps I will read it, one day...

If I had to choose one King book to read I'm not sure if it would be It or The Stand

I haven't read The Stand myself (funny considering the other guy thought I was some kinda fan boy when I've literally only read It and The Dark Tower), but I would say you can't go wrong with either. I should warn you that It goes a bit off the rails at the end too since it did kind of fall smack in the middle of King's big coke addiction, but I still think it's good. If you need a place to start though most King fans I've seen say go for Carrie or Pet Semetary or The Shining. Some of his shorter and more popular books.

Oh and glad I could help :)

so the only authors whose entire ouevre you would enjoy are Houellebecq, Calvino, and Vonnegut?

I would read the first half and then wait a month to read the second.

Thats about exactly what I do, very patrician user.

I plan on waiting a whole year between Don Quixote I & II, as the author took a decade-long break between the two.

>Long thing bad!!!!!!

So hard to stick to something, huh, OP.

Why the fuck aren't you using a library, you jerry bastard?

>book is 200 hundred-something pages long
>take a year with multiple month long breaks in between to finish reading it
God, I hate being so apathetic.

>the reader is a faggot who doesn't understand the operative metric is fucking word count it is fucking word count not page count you fucking faggot imbecile cunt retard it's word count

Have sex

As a fan of King I'd go with It over The Stand. The best part of The Stand is the beginning when Captain Trips is spreading across the country, after that the book changes drastically and morphs into this sort of bland portrayal of the dichotomy between good and evil, God and the Devil, etc and loses a lot of nuance.

>book doesn't even has chapters

The 1300pg one IS the long one. The abridged version, which is the one that was actually acclaimed and sold well, was ~900pgs.

>play is a book
I indeed have Shakespeare's plays in book form.

this is what is stopping me from reading crimes and punishment

You should read it user, it's a fun book. Unironically.

i literally have the book sitting on my desk and everytime i go to read it i get around 20 pages in and give up
