That was the book that got me hooked. I always recommend neophytes read that before any of the other parts of The Dark Tower.[/QUOTE]

That's excellent advice, Ruthful.

I don't necessarily need to enjoy myself all of the time, but agree it's a waste if you don't learn something.

Not if miserable people who don't care about others are around in your real world.

It's better than people give it credit for. [/QUOTE]Can we compromise on that? It is not all bad, but I still think not as good as the others.

And another +1 here for the Dirk Gently books.

One of the great scenes from this, which really makes you think:

Oh, come on! It's probably the second best book on that list, and "probably the second best book on that list" is pretty precisely the amount of love it deserves.

I did. And I'm glad I did. I think you're right. I felt, reading Desperation, great delight that it was so much better than the other.

You're inferring too much from what I said, and even if I...

Hm. Okay, I guess so. It can also be nice, though, in a case like this, just not to know.Really? Wow, well, I hope that that was handled well.

They would not have gotten back together without It. If there is no need for an It sequel, I don't see what else you'd want to read about the characters. Some of the features of their personalities...

Not only better than LotR as entertainment for children, but far more concise than anything his friend Tolkien ever wrote, in terms of both artistic structure and structured meaning.

Hm. And you are now better equipped to interpret, you think? Is it just that you want to see if you overlooked anything? Sometimes I reread some novel and I do notice lines that I didn't remember....

That's very interesting. I've been thinking lately about change in perspectives. How old were you first time you read Catcher In The Rye?

If you can somehow ignore the ending, that doesn't make it a better story. That would just make it a half story with no ending.
