I wonder whether anyone actually stopped reading at that point. "Thanks for the advice, Steve!"

Tolkien's retcon was so great because it not only acknowledged the discrepancy, but it fit with the narrative.

That's not how you spell Don't Pass Me By…

That's part of the reason I've held off. I like King's world building over the course of his career, and DT being the thread between them all is intimidating. Especially when so many seem to be disappointed with how it was or wasn't resolved.
So if I'm going through the series, do you recommend I read the original…

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal!" [unzips]

"HAL, it's your cousin Andre. Andre 9000? You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to THIS!"

Put a beat to it and you've got a hit.
That's probably truer than I really want to believe

We're all in for a shit-alanche of epic proportions

That's sounds intriguing at least…

Wait, he apologizes in the book for the ending? For the ending that's in that book??

I have a terrible memory for books, so I'd have to start from the beginning. The ending is where I'm concerned, because that can really blow it for me, and I've heard the ending is a big what-the-fuck kind of finish.

I started reading the Dark Tower series, but I didn't get past the 3rd book. Not because I didn't like it or anything, I just procrastinated on getting the next one too long.

Most people are just distilled versions of themselves while they're online, so cut people a lot of slack for their comments. That is, unless they are spewing racist, bigoted hate-speech or are just trying to piss people off, because, fuck those people. I disagree with the way JMP expresses stuff sometimes, even if I…

Pet Theory: Trump LOVED the way his stage makeup looked on The Apprentice. So much so, he hired the makeup artist to do him up every morning for the rest of his life. It's during those daily sessions in the makeup chair that Trump spouts everything that's popped into his brain in the last 24 hours to a person who…

You don't even need to tune anything out if you limit all your sources of information to one or two that report nothing you could disagree with

God knows he needs it. He's been away from his private golf resort for like 5 days!

Sorta, but with better beer!

Does my ITT Tech diploma help or hurt my chances??

I don't know about you, but I live in the universe that has had a functioning and independent press for years, an education system that focuses on critical thinking and covers basic civics, and our citizenry elects leaders who use facts and unbiased analysis to make informed decisions and to weigh the pros and cons…
