I was recently given volumes 1-7 of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, and have now devoured the first 3 volumes. It’s just brilliant, I’m loving it–and the best part is, I still have 4 more volumes (well, 5 really, counting the new one due out in 2012) to get through. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been so lost in the pleasure of reading. Come one am and I’m going, just one more chapter before I go to sleep, just one more…

It’s great to be pals with Stephen King again.

And just to confirm how behind the times I truly am, I’ve just discovered that The Dark Tower is being adapted into a couple of feature length films and TV series, directed by Ron Howard (who I have a lot of respect for as a director). Check it out (although I suspect everyone in the world other than me knew about this years ago): http://www.darktowermovies.com/
