About meIn a nutshell...
I'm a student at the University of Miami, Go CANES! majoring in English Creative Writing. I spend most of my time napping, loving my doggie AlCapone and watching some tube.
Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. -P.J. O'Rourke
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. -Groucho Marx
About my libraryMy library consists of basically 3 things...
1) books I need for school
2) books I feel I will die if I don't have
3) and books that seem to grow legs and follow me home Piped Piper style.
Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could change your life." -Helen Exley
He who lends a book is an idiot. He who returns the book is more of an idiot. -Arabic Proverb
An ordinary man can... surround himself with two thousand books... and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy. -Augustine Birrell

You still out there? I feel like I've kinda hijacked the whole SK flavor of the month thing.

I really liked the book, and it definitely picks up in the end. Now, my mom, who is another big Stephen King fan, despised it, and for reasons that I can totally agree with: all Lisey ever talks about is Scot, Scott, Scott (I think that's his name!) and SK kind of makes her seem like she just wasn't a real person until her wonderful husband came along (who bears a suspicious resemblance to SK himself, I think). My mom also hated the slang, which I just ignored.
But once you start getting into the horror/fantastical alternate reality, the setting itself is worth overlooking the goofiness. It's got a slow plot, but fight through it! It's worth it!
So what's your favorite of his books? I'm a huge Dark Tower junkie, myself, but all of his books have something special that makes them my "favorites". Except for Needful Things and Duma Key. I just can't make myself like those two.
