I'm actually thinking about picking up Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive the only problem I have with his work (and it's not Gibson's fault) is that I always picture Keanu fucking Reeves whenever I read it. __________________

Young Roland was so badass. It was a little long, though. I rate the first book #1, and Wizard and Glass #2 |

I really liked it because it also had Alain and Cuthbert, I wish king would write more about the time before "the World moved on" __________________

lol, that will certainly hurt the crediblity of any work. Next sci-fi I read will be by Gibson. |

I agree. The kingdom and Gunslinger history stuff was great. |

I've had a lot of free time on my hands in the past month and, as a result, have read the following books:
Freakanomics
SuperCrunchers
The Halo Effect
The Tipping Point
Made to Stick
The Starfish & the Spider
All are very good books if you're into business theory / statistics / economics.
I'm currently reading 'The World is Flat' and will next be reading 'The Black Swan'
