1. The Waste Lands

by Stephen King (588 pp.)

This is book #3 of the Dark Tower series and yike-a-roni, it's a slog. Fortunately, SK had the foresight to end it right in the middle of an action bit so people would have a hard time skipping #4. I'm going to assume the books get better since the series goes to #7. In this tome, our band of heroes wander around and do lots and lots of talking by the campfire. They deal with some crazy-pants stuff. I think SK could have knocked out 200 pp and had a real page turner. But I liked the good parts enough that I'm going to continue with the series. After I read my stack of xmas books.
