Follow Friday (#31)

I'd like to extend a big hello to everyone stopping by from Follow Friday (hosted by the fabulous Parajunkee and the equally fabulous Alison of Alison Can Read).  To any old followers happening across my blog, another heartfelt hello, and it would be completely awesome to hear from you guys!  For those who don't know, I'm Kat-- reviewer of mostly fantasy, historical, and scifi-esque fiction (often I do venture into other genres, though).  I've been away from the blogosphere for a fairly long time and am just now getting back into the groove of everything.  Follow Friday is just about the funnest (this is a word) thing ever, and I'm so happy to be participating again!  If you leave your blog's link when you comment, whether old follower or new, I'll be sure to visit or follow you back.



So this week's FF question is:

Q: What are you reading right now? How do you like it?

And my answer: I'm currently reading a few books at once, some of them for literature classes and a few for fun.  I'm just getting into The Drawing of the Three, second book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, and really enjoying it so far.

It seems kinda strange that I claim to be such a hardcore fantasy fan, and yet I'm just now reading The oh-so-classic Dark Tower books, but my only defense is: the spines of some of those later books are pretty darn thick.  I mean, the Wolves of the Calla may be a supposedly fantastic, unbelievably spectacular book, but how many pages is it?  Oh yeah, over 900.  But, if I continue to enjoy the series this much, I'm sure to get to it eventually.  I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts on Dark Tower, what you're reading right now, how much you love it/don't love it, whatever you like.  And don't forget to leave your blogs' links so I can follow you back! 

Wishing you all happy following and a great weekend filled with much reading,
