The President of Mid-World??

An article in the October issue of The Writer starts with the following.

--"Out of many, we are one." Before he became president, Barack Obama uttered these words in 2008...--

I didn't realize our President was a Stephen King fan. Some of you may be thinking of the term Roland Deschain would use in place of the above quote. It jumped to my mind as soon as I read the first line of the article.

Ka-tet. Though Roland would describe it as, "one from many".

Couldn't help but exploit the above to make reference to The Dark Tower.

Just finished John Connolly's 4th Charlie Parker novel, The White Road, which is another solid entry in a fantastic series. Parker, and his pregnant girlfriend, continue to feel the weight of their encounter with the Reverend Faulkner from the conclusion of the previous novel, The Killing Kind. Right now, I'm about halfway through Daniel Silva's latest, The Rembrandt Affair. Gabriel Allon is back to chasing Old Masters art looted by the Third Reich. Dependable so far.

I also just finished listening to Nelson DeMille's 5th John Cory novel, The Lion, which brings a violent conclusion to the Asad Khalil string.
