Dr Don! A huge Dickens fan? My word! Now you got me spoiling for A Tale Of Two Cities. But first i have to labor through Moria and chase the Orcs across Rohan and gasp as Denethor tries to burn his Son etc etc etc.. (There I go again with the spoilers) And I apologize for the spoiler about The Dark Tower. I loved the Dark Tower series by the way. King is a master in my Oh-So-Lame opinion! I re-read Salems Lot a few months ago and was enchanted by his descriptions of Autumn winds and leaves and the entire feeling of encroaching winter closing in on the doomed town of Jerusalems Lot.
I dont think he had the 'artifact' with him in the Gunslinger. I was left with the forlorn hope that one thing would change another and so on and he would finally escaape the wheel this time around. Soil I halfway wanted to begin the series again and ride the wheel with him all over like you said but the bummer of an ending.... (I re-read books quite a bit, does anyone else on this board? maybe thats a topic for another thread.)
Oh. You're right whoever pointed out that The Lost World isnt the book the kid traps the Velociraptor in the fridge, my bad. It just seemed like a weak and rehashed redundant attempt to gouge more money out of a pretty good book idea. (Cant blame him there. If I could I'd write a weak book if it would make me some jack!)
Oh yeah. The Davinci code... Yawn. I abandoned the book after about 75 pages.
