Stephen King's The Dark Tower

[bune]

About the same for me: If he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have remembered where I read it!

I was just pointing out about how much I enjoy pretty much anything he writes, that's all.

[wease]

Have you read On Writing?

[bune]

three or four times, yeah.

I showed it to my son and said he should read it and he vehemently disagreed. Apparently he's under the impression that every single SK book is a gorefest that will make him pee with fear if he reads it. Which is about 85% true but still, the book is titled "On Writing"...is a giant quill pen going to appear out of nowhere and stab someone to death? Talk about deus ex machina.

That sounds like an idea for a King book.

He's probably got a draft hiding somewhere already.

Anyone else read Duma Key? I keep waiting to find something that ties it to DT, but so far, nothing. I quite enjoyed it, tho.

I have not read it yet. Glad you're digging it.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Dug. I read it 5-6 years ago.

I meant that I keep looking thru everything to to try and find a tie to DT.
