This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

2nd book has the gunslinger (in Eddie's body) in New York, and yes he had a shootout with the police in a pharmacy. He needed meds for his infected hand.

I don't remember strange metal boxes with people inside...

4th book is really good. At least teenage me liked it at the time. It's a prequel book about a time in the gunslinger past when he had just become newly knighted, and a love interest.

After that things get weird. I should try another read through.

Huh, okay, I would be interested in a prequel, maybe. Thanks

It can be pretty much read as an independent book too, so don't feel like you need to read the other books first. There's just a bit of tie in from the other books at the beginning and the end.

Oh that actually interests me a lot, thank you. I just started Babel by rf kuang, But I think I will try the fourth book, I'd like to see the gunslinger again. Yeah I was worried. I thought I'd have to go through the whole series again, but a relative stand alone entry sounds doable
