I have a backyard.
That's right, a backyard. It has lots of space, stuff that is growing, a shed, a whole lot of rather large rocks, a great amount of smaller rocks and various bits of wood.

A moment for Eddie Dean of New York.
The book is halfway finished; The end is near. Oh Discordia indeed. For all those who haven't read the final Dark Tower book, look away. In my world, as I'm reading the books, the sad business of Eddie Dean has unfolded. Sure it's been written for a while but in my world of reading, it's just happened.

Reluctantly I'm reading the final book in the Dark Tower series. I say reluctantly because it's the last of seven books and means that, once I'm done reading this book, it's all over. The tale will have been told and that's that. I've been reading this series for a long time and after all this time, there will be an ending on the story.

When I first heard of Stephen King's brush with mini-van death years ago, I thought "That bastard better not die before he finishes the Dark Tower series."
Well, the bastard actually finished and now I'm reading it, putting an end on all the years of reading this story.
