I've wanted to read the "Dark Towers" trilogy, but I haven't been able to find them.
Is it good Bran?
Have you ever read Insomnia by King? That was a fantastic book. Very good.

No leo, you just have a short attention span for reading.
I have it too. I know what you mean.

Even hardcore reader Tyler had a hard time finishing up on Lord of the Rings.. And I'm not even bothering, I wouldn't read that trilogy if they held a gun to my head. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You weren't kidding. I couldn't put it down last night and finished part one. She's an amazing writer.

The Dark Tower is an excellent series and most bookstores should have the paperback version. Start with The Gunslinger. If you read the Dark Tower series, you'll notice a lot of references to it in his other books.
Read Insomina (Stephen King wrote it, it has nothing to do with the movie of the same name-there may be another book with the same name the movie is based on, I don't know). I liked it, though I think it was a bit too long.
I'm enjoying Lord of the Rings. Tolkien is definitely on the wordy side, but I find LOTR easier to read than The Hobbit, though it's much much longer in length.

LotR is a classic. Other fantasy books worth checking out are Moorcock's Elric series and Leiber's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser books. Howard's Conan titles are worth mentioning as well.
