I'm now reading the Dark Tower number five. The new characters in the book have a charming way of speaking that is contagious. I went out to breakfast with two of my sisters and found myself wanting to say "You speak true. I say thankya."

I have this image of Stephen King walking around his house for however long it took him to write this volume talking like that until either everyone was smacking him or everyone had given in and was now assimilated.
