I do love a good Stephen King. :-)
Of course, now, I'm scared of clowns.
Stupid Stephen King.
Anyway, the upshot of it (heh) is that I'm only reading IT at the weekends because that's the only time I can read during the day. During the week my reading time is after dark and that's really just a no-go.
BECAUSE CLOWNS.
So I'm probably a bit behind everyone else but I'm still picking away at it and scaring myself silly. You know, as you do. I love a good scare.
I just started Part 3: Grownups, where the gang (except Stan) reunites in Derry.
And that is where I will stay until next Saturday and I can read in daylight.
*shudder*

Maree! I still have an available CLOWN NOSE if you'd like to wear one. It's frightfully fun. :)
E-mail me at c (dot) beumer (at) gmail (dot) com and I can get it out this week. :)
I know what you mean abt reading this only in the daytime!
This is the only book I've ever read that helps me understand how people can be afraid of clowns.
I never really was scared of clowns, but I do understand why people are... They are not really as fun as they should be!
I instituted a no IT after 6 pm rule if I'm home alone. For some reason, if Hamburger is home while I'm reading IT's not so scary.
And I can assure you that it is that much creepier listening to the audio book! I run at night and listen to the book when I'm running and it is SCARY! :)
My mom was telling me about a serial killer when she was a kid (60s) who dressed as a clown and it made me wonder if that's what sparked the novel? Haven't done any research into it but as I was reading I wondered if people were terrified by clowns BEFORE IT. It is creepy isn't it?!
And for Nat's comment--I used to run outside but can't anymore! I'm too terrified that someone's (aka Pennywise) is going to sneak up behind me and... ahhhhh!!!
I'm terribly behind but am having so much fun!
Christina: Lol thanks! I have a feeling I'd lose it to the cats or Patrick in about five seconds though :-)
Care: Exactly. *shudder*
avantaknits: Same They never bothered me before.
Kailana: I'm coming to understand that clowns are actually evil ...
softdrink: Yup. After 6pm is my no-King zone
Natalie: *shudder* I can't imagine how creepy the audio must be
Trish: John Wayne Gacy? Or did he just paint clowns? It's very creepy.
Stacy: Heee same! I'm well behind but it's a blast!
