    My thoughts on The Hobbit (and how they relate to the DT series..)

    So, some of you people here have me some great reading recommendations the other week. I was looking for fantasy literature similar to the Dark Tower. Admittedly I have never read any Tolkien, but I picked up a copy last week at a used book shop, and I am almost finished with it. Reading this...

    Novels like the Dark Tower

    Was curious if there are any other novels similar to The Dark Tower by other authors? I know the DT series is a one of a kind, but I'd be interested to know if anything comes close at all?

    Sk's Own Version Of 1984?

    I recently read The Running Man (only Backman novel I'd not read yet). I have no idea why I've put this off for so long (maybe because of the horrible movie version with Arnold.. maybe because SK gives away the ending in the Bachman intro!?). Anyhow, great read. One thing I noted about this read...
