Irony

Having recently got a Kindle, my mum thinks it's hilarious that I'm taking an honest to god physical book with me when I go on holiday next week (I'll just be landing this time next week, not that I'm counting down or anything..).

I'll take the Kindle as well. But having had the first four books of The Dark Tower series sitting on my bookshelf for the better part of ten years and not reading them, for some reason now seemed a good time. Actually I've tried to read The Gunslinger a few times but it always felt a little dull. But after lots if recommendations from people who said the first book is dull but it gets better (even Mr King has said this) I've decided to give it a go.
