This is insanity! The last two weeks of the semester and I decide to start a blog and a reading challenge. What was I thinking?! Anyhow, I am now ignoring the school work and have lost myself in the desert. The opening line of The Gunslinger starts as this, "The man in black fled across the desert. The gunslinger followed." That may not be the exact wording, but pretty close. I mean does that not just draw you in, feel the mesmerizing pull of an amazing story about to unfold? Speaking of mesmerizing, did you know that the word came from the man Mesmer, who was not a hypnotist. Amazing what you learn in Abnormal Psychology.
