It’s really been something that has been with me for a long time. It’s just seemed like that book was just there, and now it’s finally over... I guess I could have waited my life until I finished reading it, but I decided not to risk it. 10 years (give or take) is long enough, anyway.
I also have a bookmark in there that is from a library which I don’t think exists anymore. :chuckle:

What an epic book-reading experience.

Well, I restarted it a few times over the years. I know the beginning fairly well.

When you finished it now...did you go back and read the first part again? Or did you just remember how it went or look it up

I’m glad that I was able to actually read it the whole way through now, and, to be honest, I’m also glad that I never was able to get very far when I tried to read it when I first got the book (smurfing 1997 ). Because when I first read it, I never got past Part 1, and after things start to change, which would have been too confusing for my little mind. Hell, I was finding the first parts confusing enough any. But what was I talking about again? Oh, right, some novel. Blah blah blah. I’m no good at giving verdicts.
I think there were some Stephen King references in there too, but I’ll have to cheat and look them up on the internet.
Maybe I will pick up The Regulators one day. Maybe I will take less than 10 years to finish it.

The verdict?

Oh, yeah. BREAKING NEWS (maybe not breaking, but I am trying to add a little excitement to... whatever) : It has taken 10 years, but I have finally finished Desperation.

It's all your fault. But I like yawning.

You need precious oxygen, maybe.

It seems like just talking (or typing) about it makes me want to do it. :(
