    is canon spelled with one n? my bad, I hear it alot but don't see it in print.

    besides, I'm right and you are wrong.
    "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."

    How about "You have your opinion, and I have mine?"

    I like that option a lot better.

    Drawing of the Three = awesome! That's the one that sucked me into the entire series - I think you really get to know Roland's personality in that one.

    That will always be my favorite.

    And yeah, revised - NO.

    Thanks for your opinions everyone. I really appreciate it, as it gives me hope for what lies ahead! With all the positive comments, it looks like I'll have to find some way to get to the bookstore tomorrow.

    Thanks again guys!

    I agree with Maerlyn, drop everything and go read It right away (that goes for you too Ricky and Girly)
    You guys won't regret it.

    I know exactly what you mean. It's best to get that out of your mind before you read the book.

    This past week I've read one of the greatest novels I've ever read. It was The Thorn Birds and it covered the lives and loves of the Cleary family over almost sixty years. It's mostly set in the Austrailian Outback, so of course I had to tell Josh about it lol. It's very Sidney Sheldon (ish) in the way it chronicles a family through multiple generations.

    Regarding the readings of the children's books--I tutor reading for first graders at one of the urban schools in Cleveland. I get to read LOTS of kids' books, under the guise of helping the kids! I've just discovered Strega Nona--that's a great read!

    It's a kid's book about a magic pasta pot. Everyone of the kids really liked it. It's written and illustrated by Tomie De Paola. It won the Caldecott Honor Award for the illustrations when it was published in 1979.
