First, I'm a sucker for serial books. Wheel of Time by Robert Fucking Jordan, Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind, Rowling's Harry Potter, Robert Asprin, Piers Anthony, Grafton's Alphabet series, The Cat Who books, John Sandford's Prey books, etc, etc. If you hand me a big fat book that says “Book 1” I will curse you, I will cry, then I will ravenously fall on the book.
Second, I'm a Stephen King fan. Love his stuff. I've got a whole shelf or two of Stephen King books.
And yet, I've never read King's Dark Tower series.
Can you believe it? It's incomprehensible.
So as soon as I'm finished with my serial killer book, I'm starting The Gunslinger.
You’re in for a treat. :)
I’m in the middle of the second book now – this is good stuff! Who knew? :)
