I just picked up the Stand by Stephen King. Suppose to be one of his better books.

Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home. "

Thats a pretty old book. I'm a very big fan of King. I'm actually trying to collect all the novels ever written by him by rummaging through booksales and such. I'm halfway there I think....

The stand was decent but I think there are better written stories by him..

I just finished the Shadow Children Series, and might pick up a "horror" themed book next, any suggestions?

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Ah, I am guessing you are reading V for Vendetta?

Very nice sir.

Dune.

I had to buy the book since I could not find it in any library nearby. How could they not hold such a well known book?
It is a mystery...
