The Gunslinger

After much hassling from my husband and brother, I have read The Gunslinger, the first book in the Dark Tower series. It is the first book I have read by Stephen King, and I am impressed by his writing style. He doesn't waste any words which I am impressed with because I like to ramble. It is a great quest story, and I am excited that all of the series is out in print. I don't have to wait for any more of the story. If I wanted and if I didn't have anything else to do, I could listen to the books one right after another. There are so many complexities in the story. I feel like I am missing a lot, but I am enjoying the ride so far. Now I can at least understand some of the inside jokes between C & D like the significance of the number 19. Anyway, long days and pleasant nights.

Now reading -- Don Quixote again (for class officially), The Goose Girl
Still waiting impatiently to be finished -- Eragon, Vanity Fair and I Capture the Castle
