It wasn’t really ‘updated,’ in the sense that new material was written, but at some point in the early 90s it was re-issued with a bunch of stuff that was cut for space the first time – basically reflecting King’s ascent from ‘sells enough to be allowed to publish a book considerably longer than editors usually permit,’ (which the first version was) to ‘sells enough to do any fucking thing he wants.’ I think the only thing actually changed was the dates; the longer version has the action set in the early 90s rather than in the 80s. I remember reading it at a train station and realizing that day was the actual date given for whatever point I was at in the book.

I liked it, but admittedly I’m a sucker – I read very fast, and although I do read some dense complicated serious shit, I also like some easier-reading entertainment, and it’s very hard for me to find anything that fits that bill that I can’t finish in a matter of hours.

I remember the TV adaptation being, frankly, excruciating.

Really? I quite liked it. I seem to remember feeling the usual "they left xyz bit out" pedantry bubbling up though. Plus the guy who played Tom Cullen (the retarded one) does the voice of Patrick in Spongebob.
