Book reviews pending; Stephen King
April 22, 2003 (2:13 AM) ( link )

I have to apologize for the complete lack of updates here: work has been keeping me busy, and it's hard to justify writing a book review (which, however low their quality may end up being, actually take some time to whip together).

That being said, I'm still reading, and I have the following reviews pending from the past two months (!): Dan Rhodes's Anthropology, Robertson Davies's The Fifth Business (from over two months ago!), Sheri Tepper's Grass, Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese, Chang-Rae Lee's Native Speaker, Mary Russell's The Sparrow, and now Iain M. Banks's Feersum Endjinn, which I just finished. These reviews will be done...soon.

On a completely unrelated note, today I saw Stephen King in person: he was giving a reading of his fifth Dark Tower book in the Yale Law School auditorium. King is quite a personable speaker, with an easy, humorous style, and an impressive physical presence. Unfortunately, I had to leave partway through his reading, but I heard enough to feel confident that he will, indeed, finish the Dark Tower series--the next three volumes all in a row!--to appease rabid fans like me.
