I was working in a middle school that year. The head librarian ordered "Carrie" and all the library staff read it. I thought it was Ok for middle school BUT the head Liberian sent it to the high school. UGH . Still reading King -I'm reading "The Institute" now ( not that good).
I also read Dean Koontz as well as going back and reading classics I missed. I read Dickens --but one sentence in Oliver Twist was 154 words-3 commas, 2 dashes and 4 semi-colons--ENOUGH. I also gave up on "Emma -"the most exciting thing that happened in the first 50 pages was that she sat down
