Jack Sawyer: It's been awhile

June 9, 2008! Would you believe it?! It has been awhile since I last posted something here.

It's difficult you see with the whole niche and blog topic/title of this blog. My Stephen King Book. I haven't really read something new. I'm still finishing up The Talisman (taking me forever, been busy blogging).

I created a blog, first person style about Jack Sawyer where I retell him adventure of the Territories. Aside from that, no new books for me.

I also have a more general Stephen King blog at Wordpress.. that's why sometimes (most of the times) I haven't update this blog.

Been also busy doing SEO and earning a few bucks from the internet... thinking back, when I started this blog, it was all for the pleasure of sharing and writing about the books.. now it's money money money.

Been earning with Redtube, megarotic, xhamsters videos. (No, i don't participate nor upload my videos.. that's hilarious). I also have some mp3 streaming and dowload post. Online translators too as well as homestay in Vancouver (which btw is where I am now)

Anyway, i hope you don't mind if i post super irrelevant things here.. coz it's all about the links and traffic now for me... For stephen king books and stephen king related post, you can always check my stephen king blog at wordpress... (although even there, i have a few keywords advertisement).

Farren's Son - Lewis

It's been a while since we last heard of what happened to Jack Sawyer and his adventures.

Let's continue...

After he got back from his very short journey to The Territory, Jack is now convinced that he must go there in order to save his dying mother. Thanks to Speedy Parker.

Speedy mentioned that he must save the Queen to save his mother. The Queen, according to Speedy is his Mom's tweener - the equivalent person of this world to the Territories. Speed also said to look for the Captain of the Outer Guard. This man can help him. He told Jack to give a piece of triangular-shaped thing to the Captain. It looks like a guitar pick to Jack.

After convincing his mother to let her go, Jack went on to his journey to the different world...

Stephen King's Numbers

Thing are playing around my mind. Questions that I think have some answers to it and I know that Sai King can answer. It's a simple questions of numbers.

I believe his most recent project is the motion picture 1408 starring John Cussack.

Now, does 408 mean anything to a Stephen King fan? We'll see.

I came across 408 when reading The Talisman one night. I noticed that the room in the Alhambra hotel where Jack and his mother Lily is room number 408. And it struck me that 1408 is the latest movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel. What do you think? What is the connection if there is?

Other numbers that Mr. King includes in his novels are the number 19 from Bag of Bones (and eventually to the Dark Tower saga), 237 from The Shinning, 1996 from The Dark Tower saga and probably some more.

If there are more, Stephen King fans, tell me. Good days, and Pleasant nights.

The Talisman Chapter 1: Lily and Jack

Lily And Jack

"Jack! Travellin' Jack! Jack!" was the words that came out of Speedy Parker's mouth when he saw Jack half a mile away from where he was standing a few moments ago.

When Jack and his mother went to the Alhambra Inn, that's when he found out that her mother was dying. At first he thought that his mother was running away from all the problems, telephone calls and others but he now know that she came out there probably to die. This assumption was further verified when his 'Uncle Morgan called them up to ask them to go back to New York and have her visit a doctor. But his mother did not want to.

Even though his mother forbid him to go to Speedy Parker's place, Jack visit him again because of this latest findings. He wanted a comfort of a friend and Speedy is his only friend in this part of the world.

Speedy then told Jack that he was destined to travel and save and her mother and someone just like here, in a place he called 'The Territories'.

Chapter by Chapter.. Starting with The Talisman

I'm currently reading two of Stephen King's books right now. One is Nightmare and Dreamscapes (if you notice my recent posts) and the other one is The Talisman - the one where he co-writes with Peter Straub.

I have a hardbound first edition copy of the Talisman so that means I will not be able to bring it wherever I go, so I really cannot finish it in a short period of time (short meaning couple of weeks.. :) ..

Anyway, here's what I'm going to do and I hope you guys agree. I will be posting every chapter summary, editing the post every time there is a new chapter to add. Alright! Great! Let's begin! :)
