Peer Pressure and Childe Roland
After years of my friends wearing me down like water on stone, I have finally decided to take the plunge and read Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series.
I never got around to it before, but after
Nick said I needed a big pair of revolvers with wood handles (I think) for game, I was like, "Okay! Okay! I'll read the goddamn series already."
I've got about 2 1/2 books to work through first, but they're fairly short and I read quickly, so I suspect this'll be taking up much of my fall. :) I haven't read novelized fiction in years--I don't get down with Robert Jordan or George R.R. Martin, for example, since those stories were a lot better when we called them "The Lord of the Rings." :) And King hasn't written any good horror worth a damn since "IT," in my opinion. But this stuff sounds much different, and maybe I'll dig it. We'll see.
When I told
Jessi Rose that I was going for it, her pink hair actually glowed. It was a moment.
I may need to get familiar with The Gunslinger if only to defend myself from the hordes of Martin/Jordan fans I just shat a brick on. :)
