Guess this is a good thread to ask in...
I see the Dark Tower books all the time at work, and I must say I've been intrigued. I'm going to start reading them, but I was wondering if it would be helpful to read other King books first. I seem to remember someone saying that the DT ones had characters and things from other books in them.
So, any truth to that, and would it really matter in the overall enjoyment of the series?
Thanks!
GlassSpider: it wouldnt hurt - but it would not be required reading. He started mixing characters from other books somewhere around Cujo.
Pete: yeah me too - i've yet to read five as well.
Peeker: Amazon.ca
They've got amazing prices on books, and if you order both, you'll most likely qualify for free shipping.
That is, if you want Hardcover.
I'd rather get paperback, so they match the rest of the line.
thanks though! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
Ah, cool.
When did the books come out? Perhaps they're not even out in paperback yet.
I'm guessing they aren't yet.
although I'd have thought #5 would be by now...
I haven't even finished II!
Amazon does have V in paperback

*EDIT*
Opps - if i could read I'd have noticed that this is not yet released.... [img]redface.gif[/img]

I have read the full series, as well as all other books by steven kings as well as Richard Bachman. I advise reading EVERYTHING that has been writen because King has said that many of his books if not all have ties to the Dark tower and after reading the laste Dark tower book "Song of Susannah" it is made clear that ALL the writings of Steven King are tied to the tower.
But if you want a basic set to go along with the dark tower i advise the following:
The Talisman
Bag of Bones
Black House
Christine
Cycle of the Werewolf
Different Seasons
Dolores Claiborne
Dreamcatcher
Everything's Eventual
The Eyes of the Dragon
From a Buick 8
Gerald's Game
The Green Mile
Hearts in Atlantis
Insomnia
It
Misery
Needful Things
The Regulators
Rose Madder
Salem's Lot
The Shining
Skeleton Crew
The Stand
Storm of the Century
Thinner
Tommyknockers
It isn't necessary to read any of his other things in order to get what's going on. It's just kinda cool to be able to understand some of the references. I think it's actually better to read DT first and then to go back and read the other stuff. Suddenly Hearts in Atlantis is very cool and what Ted's talking about makes sense.
I'd say the two most important ones to read would be 'Salems Lot and The Stand. Some characters in those factor heavily into DT...
