The Dark Tower
I'm taking a short trip to New Zealand on Sunday-Friday next week.
Sound reasonable?
Well, put it this way, I leave Sunday afternoon, and arrive Tuesday morning.
Even with the time difference, it's a long way.
But it'll be a lot easier now - my wife came back today with a present; The final saga in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Don't groan. You probably think of the movie Carrie or maybe The Shining. Or the made-for-TV-movie The Stand became.
But the writing in this series is the best I've ever read. It beats The Stand which was my favorite book.
This is like 7 books-worth of The Stand, but better. Without doubt King should retire now, and know he's done his best work ever.
Would you belive it? I'm actually looking forward to the twenty-something hour flight...
