Odds and Ends

I finished the Dark Tower series. It feels epic to have made it all the way through, even though it's kindergarten length next to The Wheel of Time series, or so I've heard. Those who have read the series or are in the process know there is an ending past the ending Stephen King tells you he wants, and warns you not to read it if you want to be happy.

I knew I couldn't resist reading it. And you know what? I really liked the ending. Really. But maybe it's because Stephen King is like the creators of the Legend Of Zelda Games for the N64: The work is full of bitchery, but you go through ALL of it because you still love it so much. Yes, Stephen King's stuff is like that. He does silly things sometimes, and can't always end a story when the time comes, but good GOD his stuff changes my world. And there have been times where I found myself understanding why people stalk him, try to get to his house and such. But that's another story. Now I must finish my labwork and pretend I don't think there are ghosts in the lab. Goodnight!
