Week 3- Gunslinger & Road Work

Not much more happened in the end of The Gunslinger. The man in black told Roland about his future, or destiny, which involves finding three different people before he can get to The Tower, his ultimate goal. What he needs to do there is beyond me, but if I ever read the next seven books I'll probably find out. as of right now, however, I moved on to a new book. This one is by Stephen King and is entitled Road Work. So far this book is about a man, Burt George Dawes, that has both a house and his own business about to be destroyed due to a highway extension. He seems to be going crazy because of this, and often talks to a voice in his head, named Fred (Isn't that right, Geogie? That it is, Fred). This insanity seems to be due to the loss of a son, Charlie, who was raised in this house of Burt's. So far, nothing much has happened along the plotline, but King's style is to always fully develope setting and plot before the action of the story.
