Made a bunch of icons this afternoon, two of which I just put up. I have several variations of these icons that I'll be cycling though for a while.

They're all made from art from the Dark Tower books by Stephen King. The one with the crow that I'm using here is from the first page of The Gunslinger (book 1). The second is a corner of a painting based on a visual concept from The Drawing of the Three (book 2) that was used in a collection of fantasy stories by various authors.

I especially like this picture, because it brings to mind the despriciton in The Drawing of the Three of a lone door on a beach, supported by nothing. Just... a door. There, waiting for someone to step through.



now... I'm off to see Lord of the Rings again! WHEEE!!!

YAY! You won't regret it, believe me. I adore these books to such a high degree.

The order of the books is as follows:

1. The Gunslinger
2. The Drawing of the Three
3. The Waste Lands
4. Wizard and Glass

The Gunslinger is about half as long as the others, but you have got to read them in order. Interestingly, the second book picks up only hours after the first book left off. There's a certain element of horror in the books, but it's primarily a contemporary fantasy/adventure story, not a horror story like IT or The Shining.

Rust me, you'll love these. One of my favorite lines from a novel comes from The Gunslinger:

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

The line especially poignant if you know the conext of the situation, but I couldn't possibly tell you that without ruining a lot of the book for you. But these books are by far the best thing Stephen King has written-- and also the stories he's gotten the most fan response from, he says. Which I easily believe.

icky type-o. That's supposed to say trust me, not rust me.
