Very appreciative of the sci fi posts. I have just started the Dark Tower books. Started to read them years ago, but life happened and I lost interest. Having been an admirer and a critic of King, I must say that I have read more of his work than any other author. Someone said his new favorite was "Under the Dome". I really enjoyed that one too, but my absolute favorite is "The Stand". Good versus evil, supernatural stuff, stupid government projects that get loose, it has it all.
