thehefnerI got my Mom into Stephen King's DARK TOWER, which she just finished last week. She's been listening to the whole saga on tape, really getting into it, and at some part in the final book, she had to pull off to the side of the road and sob. She couldn't even go back to work for a half hour till she calmed down and stopped looking so puffy from crying. Now she's absolutely dying for me to finish reading it (I have the last two left to go!) so we can talk about it.
But first, I need to finish ENDER'S GAME. Because it's seemingly everybody's favorite novel of all time, or pretty well up there. Did everyone but me of my generation read it in high school or something? Well, it's pretty good, but I'm halfway in, and it's not, like, monumental or anything. It's better than Orson Scott Card's ULTIMATE IRON MAN, in any case.
It's always hard coming into something that's crazy hyped. Like, every third day someone else on LJ seems to be raving about THE PRESTIGE, and at this point, it had really be something bloody special by the time I finally do see it.
Ah well. Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fiveseconddelay, I have now mastered the perfect Manhattan. I now know the difference between a Bart Simpson Manhattan and a "Legs" Manhattan, if you know what I mean. I think I may have found my signature Heffie drink! I may well need one after I do mass auditions for Actor's Center tomorrow in, oh, nine hours from now.

“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King’s Roland—an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland’s past is revealed! Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by long-time Stephen King expert Robin Furth (author of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower: A Concordance) and scripted by New York Times Best-seller Peter David, this series delves deep into Roland’s origins—the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world, while long-time fans will thrill to adventures merely hinted at in the novels. Be there for the very beginning of a modern classic of fantasy literature!
