Song of Susannah. The sixth book of Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' epic. I had never read King before so I decided to start his epic this summer to see what all the fuss was about. The first four are great. The fifth isn't. I'm getting the feeling the sixth won't be that amazing either. The seventh is the last and if it's not good I'll make the beast with two backsing kill him.
You win.
When you get to the end of the last book and there is a little explaination of the ending by King and he says if you like the end as it is now don't read on: DON'T READ ON!!!!!!!!Seriously, it is way better if you don't. I wish I would have taken my buddy's advice and not read on. |

He seriously does that? Why doesn't he just put a big red button on the book with a subtitle "Don't push the button!" How the hell is one expected not to read on? I believe you and I really don't/won't want to read on, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to resist. make the beast with two backsing King. |

The fifth one isn't all that, but six and seven are good... but, yeah, don't read on.
After you've finished all seven, read The Stand, The Talisman, It, etc...
You'll understand everything a lot better.

I only see jesus having a sauna with a teletubbie.
I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I suggest reading the 7th book while locked up in a padded room. A straight jacket would be helpful as well; you wouldn't want to strangle yourself. Consider having your doctor prescribe a sedative and take it 30 minutes before you finish the book. Then suit up in the straight jacket and let someone read the last chapter to you over a loudspeaker, keeping them out of harms way. It is that bad. |

I don't remember that part, must not have been memorable for me? I did like Wizard & Glass (can't remember which part that was) & The Talisman I thought was awesome.  |

Just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Now reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. After finishing the third book I'll move on to Robert B. Parker's Virgil Cole/Everett Hitch series (the movie Appaloosa was based on one of the books).

Back to King, I recall reading Wizard and Glass and not being moved much. Not sure if I need to read the rest....
Otherwise, King's older stuff is the best. My personal faves are It and The Shining (which is much better than any movie adaptation, BTW).

Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Collected Stories  These days I find short stories much more readable. I'm having a hard time staying focused on novels long enough to finish them. |

Agreed. H.H. Holmes goes completely unknown nowadays and he puts most series killers to shame. Everything about this book is fantastic. The Good Rat by Jimmy Breslin is another fun non-fiction book about the mob if anybody's interested, it's a quick read. I suggest reading the 7th book while locked up in a padded room. A straight jacket would be helpful as well; you wouldn't want to strangle yourself. Consider having your doctor prescribe a sedative and take it 30 minutes before you finish the book. Then suit up in the straight jacket and let someone read the last chapter to you over a loudspeaker, keeping them out of harms way.
It is that bad.
That's so comforting. I can't wait... |
