To whoever was talking about King's "Dark Tower" series being difficult to get through... just tough it out through the first one. They are amazing.

still at "Spook Country"

a real page-turner

and how the three characters lives intersect is a joy to behold

I didn't see the spoiler, as I'm about 75% of the way through book 2. Looking forward to starting book 3 asap.

Yes, really. I've had a soft spot in my heart for all the Little House books and everything connected with Ingalls' classic series, and I wanted to read this next one. It took me a bit to get into the right mindset because it's been so long since I read a children's book, but now I'm there and speeding through it. Will probably be done within a few days if I get an hour or two to read nonstop.

What's the last bit you were at?

To this day I still watch the show occassionaly. Its awesome.

I have no interest in Little House in the Prairie but I recently read the girl who played Nellie Olson's memoir, and its sooo good. Everyone should read it

They are in Cairhien and have the horn, they have also found Thom Merrilin again but are being pursued in the city by Trollocs and Darkfriends. Meanwhile in Tar Valon both Nynaeve and Egwene are becoming Aes Sedai. Want to start book three next week.

Ooh, I was going to comment, but I won't since you're not close enough to the end for my remark.

Ok when I'm near the end, I'll jog your memory and you can comment;)
