    I really was into them for a little bit back in the '80's. He had all the talent in that band and when he started going down hill, so did they.

    Well, i still think they are freakin awesome. Keep in mind they never wanted to be "the best" in terms of what everyone thought SHOULD be the best. They were loud, badd, careless, and they still secure the reputation. :D

    well if you can get past them calling eddies mother by the wrong name on the first page and identifying soundgarden as the crew, youll be fine with it. i liked the neely book better.

    a smart reader recommended it to me, plus Mr. King highly endorsed it, or it says so on the cover

    Anybody read this? I'm just getting started and find this kinda hard to read. Is it just me?

    Wizard & Glass - Dark Tower IV

    i just bought 'the gunslinger.' ive never read a stephen king novel before though, and i hear that later books kinda of wind in and out of this canon. im afraid i wont understand the later books of the series and i dont want to kick it off if that's going to be the case, as i already have book one of a VERY big/long seris on my shelf as it s (game of thrones, from george martin's fire and ice series).
    and like that... he's gone.

    If Martin doesn't hurry up and publish Dances with Dragons, I'm going to fly to where ever he lives and kick his ass. It's a great story and he needs to finish it!!!!!!

    i've not even cracked page one yet, so i have no idea what this means :)

    but yeah, it's a big series, and between that my love of john connolly's charlie parker novels, diving into a 7-book series that incorporates the entire mythology of a stephen king universe i've never read seems a little overwhelming.
