I chose Stephen King’s The Stand to add to Staff Picks. I have read it at least three times. The first time I was pregnant and it frightened me so badly I had to put it down until my son was born.

The process was so much easier than I thought. I tried to complicate it and spent 5 minutes looking for a way to add my choice. Finally, I just clicked on update this page and Voila!
I enjoyed reading my co-workers selections as well.

Here's what I wrote...
King, Stephen. The Stand. A plague wipes out most of the population, leaving the few who are immune without the safe havens of society. It is ultimate Armageddon. It is always timely because who knows what diseases are being conjured in labs unwittingly or in the name of biological warfare. King is dead on about how people respond to tragedy. Some will seek the darkside and follow the evil Flagg, and some will follow Abigail and seek the light. Tags: Horror, biological warfare, plague, Armageddon
