@moomin yes I’m fully aware of the changes, I knew about them before I started reading the book. As if Mao’s portrait wasn’t already interesting enough, sadly.
In this case it’s very much justified judging leaders by their death toll. If we considered any of these communist leaders great without looking at their death tolls, that would be reductive too. The figures are mind boggling.

@XandertheWise what did you think of Needful things? As for Wheel of Time, I started the first book but had to return it before I had finished . It's the next series on my list. Earlier we chatted about Brandon Sanderson - if you make it to the final Wheel of Time book, Sanderson finished it for Robert Jordan, so you may get an introduction to his writing with that book
I read Needful Things before a long time ago. Rereading it these days especially any old Stephen King book I notice things I didn't pay attention to due the movies based on the books being more popular back then. the book having Gaunt turn into an actual demon and his car turning into a demonic horse carriage a long with a hunchback person that I don't think I paid close attention to when i first read the book many years ago. that and I saw the extended version of the Needful Things movie on TBS back in the mid late 1990s where they included the two housewives and their Elvis stuff

as for Path of Daggers and me being busy with Winter's Heart I had to watch a couple of recap YouTube vids from Wheel of Time Lore to recatch some stuff I might have missed while reading the beginning of Winter's Heart
just got the new Stephen King book You Like it Darker in the mail and hour ago. So Ill be reading that the rest of this month even though I'm busy with reading The Talisman
Stephen King repeats himself so much, most of his books could be half the size.
Says the person who is currently in the middle of reading the Dark Tower series for the fifth time
But having a break from it to read Kurt Cobain's favorite book Perfume by Patrick Süskind
@drunktusken Would The Stand Uncut be about 2,000 pages ? The Stand, as is, is just about as perfect of a book as it gets. I've heard nothing about this, very curious,,,
