I had a really hard time hearing Ed in this episode, and often Chris' voice would drop off the edge of my speakers as he dropped in volume. And that final "BYE!" killed my ears, as I had the volume turned up to try and catch the discussions. Com'on folks. Let's equalize things a bit, eh? Quick comment.

I think the most recent of his works (apart from the Dark Tower series) that I own are <em>Bag of Bones</em> and <em>Black House</em>, neither of which I've gotten around to reading. I read <em>Insomnia</em> shortly after it was released in the mid-90s (if I've got my timestreams straight) and it remains one of my favorite King novels.

Very excited about the novel "The Sky People" - I've wanted to get it for a while, and now you've given me a great excuse. It's beginning to look like the 'Lair is specializing in alternate history books... Kris must be having trouble keeping his timestreams straight again. Thanks for not killing us guys!
