A Long Starange Trip-a biography of the Grateful Dead. Very funny indeed. It is clear to me now, that the entire west coast of America was tripping it's nuts off from the mid 60's to 1970.

Possibally about the best book i've ever read :D Ok so it goes on a bit in places, and you'd probably need a street map of Dublin for it to work, but its great. Each chapter is written in a different narrative style meaning it is never going to get dull for you, the stories twist and turn all the time and the protagonists are very likable. And don't get me started on the way the tone changes as day turns to night or even the bittersweet ending. Just take a week off and read it

Just wow. If you don't have a tear in the eye after the last chapter then you're a robot. Not just for story lines reasons but also because you know it's over :(

The books are pure fantasy wich is different from his usual horror thrillers but still a great read and i highly recomend it.

A brief sumary:

A man named Roland from a place called Gilead is a gunslinger and the last one alive and is sent on a quest to find the "dark tower" wich he knows nothings about and is the only thing that is keeping him alive is his undieing urge to find the tower.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii am a big fan of the dark tower,am now reading the wizard and glass,i really a tower junkie and a king junki hey what is ur favorite vol? mine is the drawing of the three.
