50 Book Challenge #11: The Dark Tower Book 1: the Gunslinger by Stephen King.
So I've begun to re-read this series (again). If I were Denise, this would be my Harry Potter. I'm not going to wax poetic on what I think of the novel (love it); if that's what you're after just search this blog under the terms "Fuck Stephen King, Fuck Him in his Fucking ear" (or just click the link--see how I enable your sloth?) and you should find my thoughts put forward rather plainly.
Looking over my books, I'm noticing I'm missing one of the last three and only hope I hadn't loaned it to anyone who doesn't live in Chico anymore, as happens way too often to me. I initially thought "maybe Ian has it," but that was idiotic of me because he certainly has his own copy of the whole good and damned series all his own. And so I go back to brain-wracking.
Anyhow, I re-read it this time with a goal: nerdgaming. This Saturday is the Deadlands game run by me where I move to incorporate a lot of themes Y the Last Man, Dark Tower and anything cinematic that fits my needs (last session was a twisted 300 homage). My players who read this won't remember what I'm talking about when I say I plan to send them to Hambry this weekend, but I am and that's why I've jumped back on these books at this precise moment in time.
