Switcheroo

A couple of weeks ago, James says to me out of the blue: If I pick a book out for you to read, would you read it? I said yes, of course...but he had to read a book of my choosing. I don't think he even had a book in mind when he asked that question, since he went over to the bookshelf and pondered for a bit.
Finally he came back with the first book in The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I said sure, since I wanted him to read one of my books, there were a few I've always told him he'd like, but he would never give them a chance.
Anyways...I finally started this book yesterday (when this first came up, I was at page 200 in Anne Rice's 1045 page book, the Witching Hour...and it took me FOREVER to finish, gah) and just reading the intro by Mr King makes me want to read this series. He started it in 1970 and finished his "Epic" in 2003...30 years in the making, can you imagine? I'm not a big Sci-fi fan, I like to watch Epic movies not so much read Epic books. I've never read Tolkein (tho Kings intro also made me want to read it, since he compared his world to Frodo's). But I hope I can enjoy this series.

The book I chose for James was The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I read this book last year and liked it (until the ending, remembering now) alot. It's a Dracula book, gives alot of history (or faux-history, cause who really knows!) thats both disturbing, yet interesting. Hopefully he enjoys it....and is thankful I didn't make him read Twilight...cause I almost did!
