I started down this path when I read the first book. Naturally the second book comes next. Does the third book follow? Read on to find out!

Plot: Roland (the gunslinger) is in search of a pose to help him on his quest of the dark tower. This is the book where he recruits his people. Turns out this is also the book I remember from my youth. There is a scene where a naked guy is in a gun fight. Apparently it's difficult to be in a gun fight if you are sans clothing. That's the moral of the story that stayed with me all these years.

What I thought: This story was a lot better than the first book. There was a plot, some interesting characters. It wasn't great, but I haven't lost faith in the series. How not great was it? I bought another book (Let The Right One In) halfway through this one with the intentions of reading it next. Well, I've decided the Right One In book is pretty long and I'm not really in the mood or a long book right now. Instead, I'll stick with these short book that combine to make a really long story.

Yeah, that logic doesn't really make sense to me either once I typed it up. Whatever - logic is only used to justify or condemn our emotional reactions. It's the emotions, not the logic that give purpose to life.

Should you read it? I guess the real question is do I really read book 3, or do I go with the long vampire book? My guess is I go with book 3, which I just bought tonight.

So we were going to go to King's Dominion for Halloween, but its raining. I might melt. So instead we decided to go see a movie. The boy wanted Anonymous, because there were cannons in the trailer. The rest of us were enh, but we decided to go anyway.

Plot: Shakespeare is illiterate. Some nobleman really wrote the plays and whatnot, but Willy takes credit. There was a lot of intrigue, the cannons rolled out, then the credits rolled up.

What I thought: I took my iPod with hopes that there would be an internet connection. Luckily there was a connection, but I ended letting my lovely wife borrow my iPod while I watched the movie. I think she was looking for shoes or a coat. I actually thought the movie was pretty good. It was a lot better than I was expecting. So it was either a good movie, or my expectations were just really low. Either way, I had a fun evening.

Should you see it? Yes, and you can leave your iPod at home.
