so anyone else read the Dark Tower books?

[Peter Peeker]

and if so, have you read the new one?
(dunno the name)
I still haven't found it yet... [img]mad.gif[/img]

I just finished Wizard & Glass for the umpteenth time.

King's BEST work, IMO.

plan on using McF Billy as Roland custom. have Susannah & Jake planned as well. haven't decided on base fig for Eddie, and Oy is gonna be hard to pull off.


thoughts?

re: books, I mean.

Just read the first twom one day I'll get around to the others. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I prefer the Roland from the Drawing of the Three's Phil Hale art myself.

[Blake the Foreigner]

I read "The Gunslinger" in about 2 days, and I started on "The Drawing of the Three" imediatley afterwards. Problem is, I had to read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Another really cool book, btw) and do a bunch of reports and stuff on it for my English class, so I've put the Dark Tower series on hold for a while. But once summer comes, I'm definately diving back in. I've really fallen in love with the story so far...

[Peter Peeker]

I couldn't pick a fave book out of the 4 I've read. the 1st 2 are similar, I guess...the 3rd is just wild, and the 4th(without spoiling anything) delves into Roland's youth/past.
very cool, and VERY heavy at times.

sometimes I think King didn't actually write them, but that someone else did.

it's rare that a Gunslinger novel takes me more than a day or two.
W&G took me 4, but I have been sick, so I'm sleeping a lot more...

I REALLY need to get a copy of the new one, but I want paperback, so it matches my other ones.

not a big fan of hardcovers, as I read on the bus alot, and a HC is a pain to lug around.

[Skull-n-Bones]

i GOT THE HARDCOVER #5 JUST FOR bERNIE wRIGHTSON'S 12 ILLUSTRATIONS.

ooopps fuggin caps lock again!

So I have 1 and 5...and need to read them now...LOL.

Still have to finish DaVinci code...just no time to read.

Hell yeah! read them many years ago when they first came out! should imagine my surprise when they stopped for so many years. I havent seen the new one yet, but when I do you can bet I'll get it!

[Lord of the Nazgúl]

The new one being Wolves of the Calla or Song of Susannah? SoS doesn't come out til June 8. Maybe that's why you can't find it.

I wasn't big on Wizard and Glass. I liked Roland being a mysterious figure. That whole past thing sort of ruined the mystery.

Charyou tree...

[Peter Peeker]

WotC was the one I meant, yeah.

I know what ya mean aboot "mysterious" and all. it's weird though, I don't really connect it with him, more like he's telling a story aboot something that happened to someone else.
I dunno...

[Cyber Wolf]

I too started on them years ago. I had o wait way too long for Wizards and Glass and nearly went insane waiting for Wolves of the Calla. I love that series. I realyget into those epic fantasy things, I like a series that goes on for a long while so I can realy get to know the cherictors. LIke I tell everyone, you should check outRobert Jordons WHEEL OF TIME and Terri Goodkinds SWORD OF TRUTH serieseses, most of the people I know that are into one of these three series like te other two as well.

I realy hope King finishes this series soon like he says he will. I will miss it when I know there won't be any more but I want to know how it ends while he is still alive to write em and Im still alive to read em.
