What's new

Congrats. That's a lot of issues, although many of them aren't very dialogue rich.

What did you think of the series? It's one of only a handful that I actually buy month to month.

Much of it was an accumulation through a compendium, so it wasn't too bad. I love it. I like that it's not a zombie story, per se, but a survival story. If you like the series, you should give "World War Z" a read, if you haven't read it already.
 
Finished the "Gunslinger" again today. Probably the 15th time I've read it. It gets better every time. Starting "The Drawing of the Three" tomorrow. Boo ya.

Is that a picture book?

Also, by the sounds of it, you're not spending a bunch of time campaigning. Good to see you've accepted defeat before it's even come. ****in' wuss.

It's actually a pop-up book, which >'s regular picture books. Suck on that.

Also, I'm not losing.
 
Yes, yes, yes! This is old news, it seems, but I just found it:

The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole is an upcoming novel by Stephen King. As part of The Dark Tower series, it will be the eighth Dark Tower novel, but, according to King, chronologically set between volumes four and five. First mentioned by King in 2009, after the series had been announced as concluded in 2004 with the publication of the seventh novel, it was announced on the author's official site on March 10, 2011. It is scheduled to be published in the spring of 2012.

The major story of Roland and his ka-tet was told, but I realized there was at least one hole in the narrative progression: what happened to Roland, Jake, Eddie, Susannah, and Oy between the time they leave the Emerald City (the end of Wizard and Glass) and the time we pick them up again, on the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis (the beginning of Wolves of the Calla)?

Words cannot express the moistness in my loins right now.

The good : His rants on US politics, The Middle East, and Palestine specifically.
The bad: His rants on global warming and economics. Socialist + Uber Greenie rants make for a bad combo.

Far more good than bad though since his main focus is geopolitics/humanitarian. 8/10.

The Cat in the Hat, it was pretty awesome... again.
I love it when the mess gets cleaned up in like 5 seconds, it's pretty amazing.
I still don't like Thing 1 and Thing 2, but the other things are pretty cool.
The Fish in the Bowl is a drag, and those kids are pretty indecisive.
Nobody should let a cat walk allover them like that.

I also think it's pretty amazing that the things could fly a kite in the house, but unrealistic.
I've tried it numerous times, each time... epic fail.

Pretty interesting written in a unique style for a history book. I consider myself well versed in Civil War history but I learned a couple of new things from this book. It's perhaps a bit juvenile for adults but I'm definitely going to try and get my kids to read it.

That book is awesome. You guys that are Christians should throw that one on your shelves for when your kids become curious and start to branch out in their reading on spiritual matter. My parents had absolutely junk spiritual books on the shelves and lots of them, and I honestly think that's why I avoided God for quite awhile. They just weren't moving. It's amazing how much good Christian literature is out there that I had no idea existed.
