Stephen King's The Dark Tower

[epilogue]

Is this anything like the one with the cemetery of pets? I always forget the name.

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.

[epilogue]

I think it was called Billy and the Clonasauruses.

That's the one!

There's a new King-centric podcast:

Yeah I'm curious.

I don't remember Red being from Castle Rock.

I'm just using this as a catch-all King thread. Anyway, I'm intrigued by this. Would even plunk down for a Hulu subscription if it looks any good. Hopefully Ace Merrill is a regular.

First of all, this was totally my idea. This should hire me to work on it.

Secondly, I get so excited when this thread gets bumped and it's almost never an update on The Dark Tower. And that makes me so sad.

IIRC, he mentions it during the narration.

IMMA HAVETA PULL THAT OUT TONIGHT AND CHECK IT

Stop yelling at me! And I could be wrong. I haven't read the novella for like 20 years, so the movie has mostly supplanted my memories of the story.

Heh. Sorry about that. I was at work and they use all caps and I didn't realize it until I was finished. So it wasn't yelling. It was laziness.

I need to read a new book from him. I stopped after Joyride, almost two years ago because i was reading so much from him i though i needed something else...but its been too long.

Maybe the next one is Mr Mercedes...

I think it was called Billy and the Clonasauruses.

...the best seller list for 18 months!

[VinylGuy]

Yea, that trilogy does look good. If you haven't read 11/22/63 yet, I think it's one of his very best. Revival is not quite as impressive, but it's one of the better ones since his car accident turned him into a Garrison Keillor/Edgar Allen Poe hybrid.

yeah, i read 11/22/63. Its a masterpiece...that one and Lisey's Story are perhaps my favorites from him.

[bada]

I was thinking about reading IT next.
