These are all great lists, I haven't seen much that I can't at least understand...some I might not agree with, but can understand. Like someone mentioned, these are our favorites, not necessarily the...

These are all great lists, I haven't seen much that I can't at least understand...some I might not agree with, but can understand. Like someone mentioned, these are our favorites, not necessarily the...
The first time I read the books, W&G was my favorite. But now, one my second time through, it has fallen pretty far down the list. I couldn't get enough of it the first time, but couldn't wait for it...
I don't think you're wrong on that at all. The horn is definitely meant to imply hope of some sort....there is never any firm resolution, but a wheel picks up new dirt every time it goes...
No problem, I'm over it. I also apologize if I came off rude, I shifted into defensive mode and probably shouldn't have.
That being done, I think we're now on the same page regarding the...
I completely agree. As he learns more about himself and the world, each time he (re-)encounters a singularity he makes a better choice, moving him into a better world, until he reaches/achieves the...
Fair enough. I was focused mainly on the theorizing about directions and hadn't really considered those quotes. I retract that comment.
Ah...now there's the rub. I agree with you that the...
At some point, I believe in his preparation for Wizard and Glass, he hired Robin Furth as his research assistant. The two volumes of the concordance were her work for him to keep things straight. In...
Good work. Turns out the ending that I thought hadn't been made is a third alternate ending. My brain messed it up on me. Here's the blurb from Entertainment Weekly, it was actually an inset to a...
I also have read about the throat slitting ending, but I don't think it was actually made. I think it may have only been a concept. I think I read about it Entertainment Weekly.
Mitch - Nice work on the map....it definitely matches what seems to be described, if we throw the cardinal directions out, based on the fact that they are moving anyway. I like your idea of the...
I don't think you're comparative statement about Salem's Lot is anything like this discussion. Nobody has said that these questions cause them to dislike the books or that the books are too anything....
I agree, it's a perfectly fine explanation for the shifting directions. But being able to see visuals of what is supposed to be happening is nice, especially when the descriptions seem contradictory....
OK, the maps. While the one for the gunslinger solves its issues (for the most part), I'm afraid you'll be disappointed by the one for the wastelands....it does not show the journey from the...
I don't know if beautiful is the word I would use, but by far the most awesome monster I've ever seen on film. Not to mention scary. He's just plain brilliant.
Count me on the list of those who like Forrest Gump but would not want him on an island with me. Instead, I choose these 10 in no particular order:
1. The Graduate ("I think you're the most...
Maybe the first one is a ball? Although I don't really know how a ball would be considered to run....
I've also long wondered about this...some of the mistakes (such as NYC geography) are dismissed in later books as multiple worlds or shifting directions. But this particular question about the...
my best guesses would be:
1. water
2. tomorrow
3. an echo
Given your thoughts on the end of magic and the world moving on and this passage, I would bet it hasn't been that long...
This comes from pp. 108-110. Mia is explaining that the beams "rose from...
That's a good point. The Good Earth might be a real standout book, but being introduced to it in 9th grade English class, I'll be happy to never read a page of that schlock again. It does have to do...
