Some moments are beyond imagination.

The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower VII) by Stephen King

August 5, 2017 by borisanne 2 Comments

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 and yarn (see also: Charlie’s Pepe Silvia wall in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”). Though […]

Sorry. Wrong door. I thought it was the desert.

The Waste Lands by Stephen King

June 30, 2017 by borisanne Leave a Comment

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. King can be a fickle and selfish writer sometimes, but I’m an optimist. A few […]

I am, in short, a man on the edge of everything.

The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King

June 30, 2017 by borisanne Leave a Comment

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. King has proven himself to me with basically everything else I’ve read of his as an adult, so he has a certain amount of capital with me. Plus, I like to read before watching, and if you think you can tear me away from Idris Elba at the end of the summer, you and I have never met. So, now I will go on record […]
