Book: Different Seasons
Title: Different Seasons
Author: Stephen King
Copyright: 1982
A collection of novellas that Stephen King says were written between his major works (Carrie, The Dead Zone, The Stand, and others). The novellas in this work were just the right lengths; short enough to qualify as novellas, but long enough and engineered well enough to draw in the reader to each story and make him wish for more.
Looking backward from 2010-03-14.
I remember beginning this cassette talking book on a late, sunny afternoon (probably Wednesday, July 3rd, 1985), when I’d traveled home by Greyhound bus to spend the 4th of July holiday with the family. The sun was a bright white and the skies a notably deep blue; low humidity. The temperatures were moderate, perhaps in the low eighties.
I read this book during the mid-summer of 1985, back when us Moorhead tenants were permitted to lounge on the roof. I listened to many a book up there while I resided there on Craig St.
Studying my second big dose of Calculus, I read lots during this time, to distract myself from that very difficult math. 
Funny that I remember more about what was happening around me while reading the book, than what happened in the book itself, although the short story The Body (aka Stand By Me), was included in this volume, along with Apt Pupil, The Breathing Method, and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. I vaguely remember these and thought them excellent stories at the time. Maybe I’ll order the book again; after all, it’s been twenty-five years since I last read it.
