Embroidery no. 4! We’re really hopping now. This one is also from the Dark Tower series, and from one of my favorite love stories. It’s from the book Wizard and Glass (Kindle version here) and you can see more of my thoughts on it in the posts on youth and echoes.

there are other worlds than these (embroidery no. 3)
“Go then. There are other worlds than these.” These words echo over and over throughout the Dark Tower series, and first appear in the first book The Gunslinger (Kindle version here). I read Stephen King’s series for the first time last year and fell in love. I love the characters, I love the crazy plot twists,Continue reading “there are other worlds than these (embroidery no. 3)”
the dark tower, finally
Just like a good horror movie blends a terrifying ghost with the every day creaks and groans of an old house, the Dark Tower series blends fiction and reality.

It was pretty good, or at least not bad enough for me to stop. I likeContinue reading “let’s share a cup”

It was always better back in the day, and kids these days couldn’t work their way out of a wet paper bag. My generation in particular has gotten a bad rap lately. We are lazy, entitled, and clueless.Continue reading “on youth”

dark tower
I’ve just finished book two of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The first book, The Gunslinger, introduces us to Roland, the last gunslinger.
