I'm listening to "It," by Stephen King

This is one heck of a book. I'm only halfway through - 20 hours or so - and I feel as if I know these characters, and this town, intimately. I've read maybe a third of his books, and I probably won't make my through all of them, but I'm going to give it a try. What a world(s) he has created in Maine over the past 4 decades.

I love Stephen King's books. I have read quite a few of them. Usually, I read it straight through - too hard to put down

Does he still read the audio books himself?

And he does a super job. His voices aren't all that distinctive, but you do know who's talking, especially when It is visiting, and he's a good actor.

Next after this is The Shining, so I can then get current with his sequel.
