I read Carrie shortly after it came out in the mid 70's. I was in my early teens & recall being confused by the excerpts of newspaper articles & case studies etc, but overall, I really enjoyed it. I continued to read all the SK novels (except for Dark Tower) as they were published until "Lisey's Story" broke my streak for several years. It is pretty rare that I don't find something to enjoy in his work, but there are certainly some I enjoy more than others. I finished the Stand, but I started to skim a bit towards the end. The first half where the virus was taking hold and survivors adapting to their new situation was my favorite part. Salem's Lot is a favorite of mine among his work, as is Dead Zone.

@@musicroom7185 thank you for commenting. I want to read the Dark Tower series, but we’ll see how this reading journey develops.
