Oh man I missed that as well! Thanks John for pointing that out.
what? I'm at work now....no copy can you post please?
Sure. A song is mentioned in the book Dig ~ Shark Puppy. I think Edgar quotes them. So if you look on the copyright page you see: Permission to use lyrics from "Dig" by Shark Puppy (R. Tozier, W. Denborough), granted by Bad Nineteen Music, copyright 1986
um-huh, and the connection is the 19. Thanks for posting Lisa.
I have a question.
What about "Wireman Looks West." I don't remember them destroying it.
Granted I have only read it once and I was sick as a dog, so my comprehension was probably no where near 100%.
wow, its been along time since I heard those names.....
I didnt catch it. :doh:
I reread IT recently if it makes you feel better :D
a little, thanks!:blush:
It's on page 144 & 145 of the US version. It probably is a fictional sketch, but I was just kinda curious if maybe he happened to come across a real Dali sketch and incorporated it into the story. I know it's probably a stretch though.
And that was a nice catch jhanic. I never would have caught that.
I finally finished the book the other day. I thought it was fantastic. I really loved the character of Edgar. I also really enjoyed the chapters on How to Draw a Picture, and how he interwove those into the story. I would recommend that everyone check it out.
One thing that I am curious about, spoilers for end of story!

KIT - thanks, but that was actually Jhanic's spot, I just relayed the printed info - all kudos to him ;) 02-05-2008 08:13 AMNerakFinished this morning!
Kudos to King!! Great book! Good page turner. 02-06-2008 09:40 AMMattI'm not reading this but I'm not sure I like Wireman, suspicious of that guy.
The old lady makes me think of the old man in Bag of Bones, but that's okay.
I love how Wireman said "enough Palaver..." :rock: 02-06-2008 12:16 PMDarkthoughtsHa ha yeah! I got that in my notebook for the Tower connections ;) BTW, do I have the power to add new books to that section? I got quite alot of stuff for Duma Key.
Wireman is kinda like Henry Leyden (Black House) in that respect I thought, Matt. I was suspicious of Henry at first too. 02-06-2008 01:30 PMMattYou can't add them to the graphic (which may need to be updated soon) but you should be able to add new books to the wiki.
I'll shoot you a PM on how. 02-07-2008 12:53 PMDarkthoughtsBrilliant :thumbsup: 02-10-2008 05:12 AMjaysonok, so i just wanted to throw this in here... i live in Tampa, FL which gets some play in DK. Twice I lived on Davis Island [yes, it's real] including the time when King was writing at least some of DK.
King gets the geography a little wrong [though in an incosequential way], but what I care about is when he is setting the scene in Mary Ire's apt about Davis Island, he mentions hearing an electric guitar playing 12-bar blues. Given when King wrote this, and where I lived at the time, I can only assume he was talking about me. :lol: if any of my old neighbors read the book, they may think of me. i was known to play a bit loud. btw, through 415 pages. i just passed
Spoiler:
i've really enjoyed this book so far. when i finish i will come back and read other posts and discuss, but i am avoiding spoilers right now so don't wanna chance it. 02-10-2008 06:18 AMJeanfor the sake of readability: it's a spoiler thread, so go easy on those spoiler boxes... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2.../0134-bear.gif
