Okay, I’m back. I haven’t lost my mind, or my grip on reality. Everything’s fine. It took me a long time to read this final installment of “The Dark Tower” series. Sure, it’s super long, but it’s shorter than a few of the other installments. I just truly didn’t want it to end, so I stretched it out, found distractions and procrastinations, and delayed the inevitable. This final chapter is less full of revelation, and doesn’t so closely ressemble a conspiracy theorist’s corkboard with pushpins […]

Here it is, Book 3 of “The Dark Tower” series, which I may not finish the whole of in the next 5 weeks, but it won’t be for lack of trying! I love this series. I love these characters. The Waste Lands isn’t as fundamentally excellent as The Drawing of the Three was, but after the action and adventure that was The Drawing of the Three there’s some needed setting up of next steps in advance of Wizard and Glass. I assume. I don’t know. […]

OKAY FINE, STEVE. I am on record as not totally loving The Gunslinger but being willing to go along for the “Dark Tower” ride for a while to see what all the fuss is about.

Plus, I like to read before watching, and if you think you can tear me away from Idris Elba at the end of […]
