Think I might finish The Waste Lands first. Jake has just discovered that the building with the deli has been demolished.

Started Wizard and Glass this morning. Roland is telling his story, and Susan has gone to Rhea to prove her honesty.
I hate being in the middle of two series at once.

"Roland, I love thee!"
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Wow! It took me ages to get into Wizard and Glass, but the ending....wow!
Now I just need to find The Wolves of the Calla in paperback.

Phew, finally finished slogging through The Drawing of the Three. I just looked back at the date I started reading it, and it took me just shy of 8 weeks. You people who say you're going to read Runes in 2 days must be superhuman
Anyway, I quite liked it, though it became harder to read after Eddie was sorted out. The other doors, and the related events, were imaginitive and often chilling, but they were also hard for me to read. Usually gave me a headache. I think I'd better take a substantial break before the next installment. A Runes-sized break.

I have an ARC of DT7 lying around... but before reading it I'll have to get through DT6... for a person who reads at least a book a day, I'm finding it really hard to find the motivation to go back to this series, after the travesty of DT5. That sucked so much it was scary.

Of course, that was weeks ago. Any number of things may have changed since then.
What does THAT mean?
I am 150 pages from the end! I can't wait to discuss.

Oh wow, it's over...
I found the ending a bit disheartening...I wanted the mega happy ending...but, like King himself said, it was the only ending. May it do ya fine.
Ka is a wheel.
And I say thankya...
