I'm right at the part of the book where Eddie is about to go into the bathroom to get Balazr's coke. They've just finished inspecting both Eddie, and the bathroom. One of the things I love about this book is the way Roland fucks everything in our world up (magda-zeens, astin, tooter fish popkins, profaning the ritual of clearing customs, army stewardess), and his sense of wonder at our world.
Spoiler:
I'm still pissed at Sai King for destroying such an incredibly perfect character by taking Roland's fingers.
I'm thoroughly enjoying my 5th or 6th reading of this book.
