 Reading the title of this thread was enough for me. XD
I love The Stand. It's really a phenomenal accomplishment in literature. And it does indeed contain the best Cullen.
I honestly don't even know where to begin in concerns to this book.
Did you read the uncut version or the cropped one? I know that it's really easy to find the uncut version now, but I often wonder about how many people have bothered to read it (aside from myself).

I've never read it, but I did stay up until 4am watching it at a friend's party. That movie was long.

I knew I couldn't be the only one! I've been saying that for two years now! When I think Cullen, I think Tom Cullen.
Yeah, school library had uncut. Hehe. My friend read cut, so we compared it a lil bit.

If I remember correctly, my friend said that the Trashcan Man and The Kid's 'scene' was cut out.
In retrospect, it's much more appropriate than some of the other stuff people read.

But Ronald mcdonald is so creepy! He's like Pennywise on acid+speed!
The Stand was great but the miniseries really over-simplified the Good vs Evil and the long drawn out suffering of the plague just didn't come across with the same impact at all.
I wish Golden Years hadn't been cancelled before it ran it's course.
The last book I read by Stephen King was Duma Key and that was amazing! Lovecraftian in it's way.
Stephen King is very under appreciated as a writer just because he cranks out books so fast, but they're really well written.
Back in high school I did a comparative essay on Rage (written by King as Richard Bachman) and Catcher in the Rye.
M-O-O-N, that spells perceptive expression of the human condition
