I think when we're in the middle of a really good book, or movie, or tv show, or whatever - one that's really compelling - it's really easy to want to try and pull a bit of that universe into our own.

I've been reading my way through the Dark Tower series, and am almost done with the fifth book so I went out to get the sixth and seventh today. I looked all over Borders and couldn't find Stephen King books in any of the usual places, so I asked someone. It was good I did, because (aside from finding out where the King repository is) he showed me their "bargain hardcover" rack where they were selling books six and seven (only those) dirt cheap, for less money than I had in my wallet. I wouldn't have ever checked there on my own. It was pretty cool.

Also, I'm going to be pretty useless until I finish the series. I'm getting really attached to some of the characters, and have sinking feeling about where things are going, and what the books are going to end up saying about human nature.
