I'd go with The Talisman or The Stand.

It wasn't a horrendous ending, but it just didn't have the same resonance as the first half did. It felt unfocused. I'm pretty sure that King's original idea for the book was entirely about the first half, and then he just had to end it somehow, and just couldn't quite pull it off.

Edit: Oh yeah, I guess this is a totally off topic discussion.

Why do we give hurricanes names?

I think it is so storms can be tracked more easily. There is a method to the naming process too - alphabetical order and alternating male and female names, and never using the same name twice within a certain period of time. Every hurricane and tropical storm is given a name, even the ones that don't hit land, but you only hear about the big storms.

I think one other rule in the naming convention is that they retire the names of the really bad ones. So, for example, there's never going to be another storm named Katrina.

That makes sense. Avoids the negative connotations associated with it, I guess.

Shoot him a message man. Exo is currently on so i'm assuming hes getting by. I know the people in the line of fire are dealing with alot and response has been slow at best. I still have to applaud the people in there fighting for these people, Red Cross, National Guard, and all Emergency Response. These disasters are always gonna take time and the people gotta stick together. My friend is currently there with SO-CAL EDISON and he said its been extremely sad to look at and deal with on a personal basis. His family is all from upper New York and are uneffected but New Yorkers all stick together when it comes down to disasters like this. Thinking good thoughts New York, and donated 100 dollars on Sunday as little as it is, its still something.
