i loved the stand in fact it is my all time favorite. i remember after reading it though everytime someone coughed, sneezed etc around me i kind of moved away from them. lol i know this sounds funny but think about it the flu gets worse every year. the gov does test stuff and does do chemical warfare etc. i read the book during flu season too. talk about ducking away from lots of people. did anyoen else out there kind of think about it alittle more or anything?

I always try to move away from people espicially if you can tell it is a cold sneeze and cough. With the three little ones at home. sickness is not an option in this house because once it hits. It goes through everyone at least twice before I get rid of it.

Oh yeah, I definitely did. I also did the same thing after watching the movie Outbreak.

I am obsessed with anything Stephen King. When I re-read the stand (read it the first time MANY years before)about a chapter into it I got a horrible cold. I went around saying OH MY GOD! IT'S CAPTAIN TRIPPS! People thought I was nuts...I thought it could very well be the end of the world!

I actually read the book on a plane flight from Orlando FL, to Germany (14 hours... LONG flight). I have to admit, I was not pleased with my choice for airplane reading. I started looking around the plane and heard every sniffle, cough, and weeze of the passengers around me. I was convinced that I would drop dead at any second. I still get grossed out about planes and the germs that I'm sure are crawling all over them.
