Last night was good
Nov. 10th, 2006 08:25 pmI came home from work, bought The Gunslinger, ate sushi, watched an episode of Death Note, and then Gundam Wing, spent time with my one friend in town, and with Matt.
Today, I finished The Gunslinger (revised edition), and have decided that I could be perfectly happy with just reading that one book, and not finishing the series. It had a perfect blend of wistfulness, realism, and despair. Foreshadowing and now-ness. It was a wonderful book, and I do not need to read the rest of the series to have enjoyed that one as much as I just did.
But I want to read the rest of it. And then I want to find the tendrils that I know are hidden in the other books, Insomnia, The Stand, and the other ones that I do not know about yet, and read and enjoy those too.
It was a very good book.
