    Sure. A song is mentioned in the book Dig ~ Shark Puppy. I think Edgar quotes them. So if you look on the copyright page you see: Permission to use lyrics from "Dig" by Shark Puppy (R. Tozier, W. Denborough), granted by Bad Nineteen Music, copyright 1986

    I have a question.
    What about "Wireman Looks West." I don't remember them destroying it.
    Granted I have only read it once and I was sick as a dog, so my comprehension was probably no where near 100%.

    It's on page 144 & 145 of the US version. It probably is a fictional sketch, but I was just kinda curious if maybe he happened to come across a real Dali sketch and incorporated it into the story. I know it's probably a stretch though.

    And that was a nice catch jhanic. I never would have caught that.

    I finally finished the book the other day. I thought it was fantastic. I really loved the character of Edgar. I also really enjoyed the chapters on How to Draw a Picture, and how he interwove those into the story. I would recommend that everyone check it out.

    One thing that I am curious about, spoilers for end of story!

    Spoiler:
    There was no mention of the paintings being destoyed at the end (especially the Girl and Ship series). I took it that once Perse was put back to sleep, they were no longer harmful, and were able to go to whoever purchased them. Is this true?

    Good questions.
    Spoiler:
    The hurricane Edgar was drawing up at the end, appeared to only be for Duma, would it have reached the gallery? Edgar thought they'd get rain as far as Tampa.
    Other than that, I'd also imagine that the pictures would sleep as Perse did.

    Thanks Darkthoughts, I think you're probably right about the hurricane. For some reason that never even crossed my mind.

    I'm not reading this but I'm not sure I like Wireman, suspicious of that guy.

    The old lady makes me think of the old man in Bag of Bones, but that's okay.

    I love how Wireman said "enough Palaver..."

    Ha ha yeah! I got that in my notebook for the Tower connections BTW, do I have the power to add new books to that section? I got quite alot of stuff for Duma Key.

    Wireman is kinda like Henry Leyden (Black House) in that respect I thought, Matt. I was suspicious of Henry at first too.

    You can't add them to the graphic (which may need to be updated soon) but you should be able to add new books to the wiki.

    I'll shoot you a PM on how.

    ok, so i just wanted to throw this in here... i live in Tampa, FL which gets some play in DK. Twice I lived on Davis Island [yes, it's real] including the time when King was writing at least some of DK.

    King gets the geography a little wrong [though in an incosequential way], but what I care about is when he is setting the scene in Mary Ire's apt about Davis Island, he mentions hearing an electric guitar playing 12-bar blues. Given when King wrote this, and where I lived at the time, I can only assume he was talking about me. if any of my old neighbors read the book, they may think of me. i was known to play a bit loud. btw, through 415 pages. i just passed

    Spoiler:
    when Miss Eastlake dies and Edgar sleeps with Pam


    i've really enjoyed this book so far. when i finish i will come back and read other posts and discuss, but i am avoiding spoilers right now so don't wanna chance it.

    for the sake of readability: it's a spoiler thread, so go easy on those spoiler boxes...
