House M.D. is one of the best new shows I have seen in a long time. Since I don't have cable anymore, I have become a slave to network television. All I watch now is Fox. (American Idol, OC, Point Pleasant, Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, etc.)
This gives me time to catch up on my reading. I started The Stand a few days ago. I've been meaning to read it for a long time. I thought it was a nice coincidence that the book is about a superflu that devestates America and I have a cold. The version of The Stand I bought is the big one with all the extra stuff King didn't include in the first print. It's going to take a long time to read, but I don't see cable television coming back to my apartment for a long time.
I have always enjoyed Stephen King books. The first one I read was Skeleton Crew. I started the Dark Tower series this summer when I was unemployed. I flew through the first 6 books in about 2 months, then waited impatiently for the 7th and final one to come out. I picked it up the day it came out and holed up in my room until I finished it. It was a different ending to the series than I had imagined. The cool thing about King is that a lot of his books have this common thread of characters who play a role in the Dark Tower series. The Stand is one of the books that ties into and Roland's quest for the Dark Tower, but I'm not sure how yet...
