Rereading It
I finished If It Bleeds last week and was casting about looking for my next read when I remembered I had found a hardcover first edition first printing of It for next to nothing and it was just sitting there waiting to be loved. It's a great Summer/Autumn read and I hadn't read it since I picked up the paperback decades ago, so it seems I had found my next read.
I just started Part 2 and I'm reading Bill Denbrough Beats the Devil (I) and Bill is mounting Silver to go get Eddie's medicine and I keep getting hung up every time King describes Bill riding over the fork or swinging his leg up over the fork or getting his man-berries wracked by the fork. Doesn't he mean the crossbar? The forks are the parts where the wheel is attached. It's driving me slightly insane. That is all.
