    So far, it's not drawing me in like his first two, but I'm going to stick with it, of course.

    I have also met him in person, and trust me, he is so cool!

    Don't ask me why I looked in the back already (I'm not the type to read the ending first), but I saw the note about how various characters have appeared in his other books and which ones.

    >>Have you read any of his other books?<<

    No, this is my first, but I did pick up Island of the Sequined Love Nun and Fluke at various charity used book sales. So many people have spoken so highly of him, I figured it would be okay to take the chance. :) His descriptions crack me up!

    Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I lost my connection on VMK and can't seem to get back on at the moment. You'll have to tell me how the "sit-in" went! <g>

    Question for the King fans out there: There are mentions here of a "Dark Tower" and "Gunslingers." Does this book connect to the Dark Tower series? Where does it fit?

That said, I haven't read "The Black House", I started and with the advance clues I new I didn't want to go any further. Although I remember enjoying The Talisman quite a bit.
