Yeah. Roland starts jumpin dimensions in the second one, and after that things just keep geting wierder.
I read that as "jumping dinosaurs" at first, and pictured a guy leaping out of the bushes onto a tyrannosaurus and beating the crap out of it.
The thing is, that wouldn't even be a very exciting day for Roland. I mean he and his friends have:
Fought a giant cybernetic grizzly
Caused a time loop that nearly wiped a kid from exsistance
Fucked a demon
Fathered a half demon son
Fought off a raid of robot wolf men
Defeated an insane monorail train with logic
Escaped from a huge nether-realm centipede.
Outsmarted a personifacation of the id, ego, and superego
Killed an entire town singlehandedly
Roland himself has been alive for hundreds of years
Saved Stephen Kings life.
Survived the Battle of Jericho Hill
Drove all of the Good Man's men into a thinny
Fought Vampires
Killed a whole bunch of mobsters
The Gunslinger murders a whole fucking town in the first book. It can't get any better. It only continues to be awesome.
Ferrus on
I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear
I thought The Stand had a lot of interesting characters and except for the rushed and bullshit ending that didn't do the story justice the rest of that book was very entertaining.
