Ummm...doesn't postulating that something has a symbolic or metaphorical meaning kinda obligate an intelligent person to clearly state what they're suggesting the object/subject might mean and why?...

Started a re-read of Book 7. On this read, I asked myself, why just Roland? I guess some version of what happens with Roland happens with the other characters. I think I started thinking, Why...
Yeah but I want to read something more into it. How about the spelling, huh? Huh? Huh!
Capital "C"! Gorry! Gotta be Charlie, from Firestarter, noisy and full of fun! Isn't "Ruta"...
Sorry if this doesn't seem related to King being in SOS, but one thing bugged me about it. Eddie's on a mission in the book to learn where Co-op City is, Brooklyn or the Bronx. Aaron tells Eddie...
What was your favorite moment of this book?
Hard to pick just one. Mia and Susannah on the allure, both times, was good because Mia spoke about the Beams. Explained a bit about the mythology of...
What was your favourite moment of this book?
The Priest's Tale, all parts of it.
What was your least favourite moment?
Can't think of one at the moment.
Were you pleased to be reacquainted...
And I reply, please Darkthoughts, please let me (and others) speculate to our hearts content about symbology, metaphors, the magic of words and their multiple connotations. The magic that is King is...
Late in the book, 13th Stanza, section sixteen, in the dining room, Mia seems as surprised or more so than Susannah when see shes the skin behind the mask of the low man and low woman. Susannah...
I guess one either likes King's presence in the tale or not. I don't think it's ego. Maybe it's related to the Beams. And magic. When Mia and Susannah are on the allure, the first time, Mia asks...
How do we know Ruta is a child? Cause the cat is a 2 yr old I guess, huh? I don't think oxnard111 saw any deep and meaningful message hidden meaning in the lost pet poster. Oxnard111's question...
Must be cold in the UK, too, huh Darkthoughts...been below zero here for a time, Fahrenheit...I'll have to look at the Credit Union clock to see what Celsius says. Isn't that some Greek god? Keeper...
I wonder how much Donnie Russert's work on the subject came into play? You recall that Donnie, the history prof from Vandy, did a lot of work on walk-ins...but I don't imagine Balazar and the boys...
Thought I'd find a Christine to try to illuminate, rather than the modern twist of enlighten and baffle, a variation perhaps on Sir Philip Sydney's "delight and instruct". One could argue, for...
There’s a couple, three references to Ruta that I’m aware of. Couple of them, in “The Priest’s Tale Concluded(Unfound), one of the two in section eleven, p577 my pbc, Callahan is telling them about...
Hi oxnard...wondered the same thing...was it Ruda, or Ruta...I thought Ruta, but maybe it is Ruda...whatever the case, I thought I read later in the book that name and it was associated with a...
I've read Gulliver's Travels more recently, Darkthought, and I still don't have a clue. Milton, Shakespeare, all these literary allusions to other things. I enjoy that part of stories as much as...
Like could one argue that the Breakers are part of the Academy? The big enchilada. I didn't go to Morehouse or no house...the finer post war Negro education...
I'm still not done with the re-read...liked the scene with Mia and Susannah on the allure...Mia, "great men of thought...deduction--these came together and created the machines which run the beams." ...
Do you feel that King was implying that Black 13's placement in the lock box under the Twin Towers caused the 9-11 attacks? Also, do you feel that it was destroyed in the attacks?
Thoughts?

Today [Erin/Manager, 11-08-2007, nineteen, may it do ya] I was thinking generally about King's role in Song of Susannah.
Did you like his appearance in the novel?
Yeah, thought it was a real...
