It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I'm reading the Shining for the first time. I got it at half price books for 1.25 (the original was 2.50! crazyness).

Now I'm back to 'Salem's Lot. phew.

"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

R.A. Salvatore's The Ghost King. So far it is not bad, but it's not grabbing me as much as the Hunter's Blade Trilogy.

Still reading Catch-22. It has been a chore.
