Today I was at my local goodwill. Side note scored a cemetery dance shivers VI and a BCE of thinner hc. Not bad. Anyway there was this kid there about 12 I would say and he never looked at the hc's. Straight to the paperbacks. See the hc are 1.50 and the pb are .50. Simple decision when ur 12. I notice he didn't have any king in his hands so I got ahead of his path a pulled out the gunslinger and put it cover forwards eye level so he couldn't miss it. Well I watched and he hesitated for a second and passed it by. So I had too say something. I mean it's the gunslinger. I asked him " do u read any king." He said no. I said well the gunslinger is a great book and went on about the series and yes I actually quoted the 1st line. So he picked it up. So who knows. I might have just started a king fanatic or he bought it just so this crazy old man at 41 would leave him alone. Lol
