Gonna little behind with my #37by37 updates.
With as much as I've posted about SK, it's pretty obvious that I'm definitely a Constant Reader, but some of the discourse is just ridiculous. Two of my top 6 favorite movies of the year have been King adaptations. I have yet to watch the new HBO series, one thing I loved when I read the Dark Tower years ago was seeing the connections but recently it's gotten a bit out of hand (see image). Pennywise in the Running Man? Really?! Clickbait!
Also I saw The Running Man today! Did I bring my copy of the book with me? Obviously! 😂 Friends, the movie was SO GOOD! I loved it way more than I expected to! However, I will say that the ending of the film is DRASTICALLY different from the book! 😱
pickSet 100 years in the future at a time when the United Kingdom has been reduced to an archipelago, this intriguing book follows Tom, a humanities professor, as he recreates the life of 21st century poet Francis Blundy and searches for his lost masterpiece, the poem "A Corona for Vivien." Tom is half in love with his idea of Vivien, Blundy's wife, but ultimately comes to understand: the documented details of a life don't always add up to the truth.
I‘m sad to finish this 7-book post-apocalyptic series but I loved seeing the transformation of each character, the formed relationships, their resilience, and the found-family they discovered amongst each other.

pick‘Only death can keep you from the finish line—in the ultimate competition of the all-too-near future...‘
Finished this in June.
A gruesome race where only one can cross the finish line. This was my third time reading this. Good story. Shocking at times.
