Personally, I think Roland's journey acts as a great metaphor in two different ways. First of all as a representation of the wheel of Ka, in that ultimately we are neither punished or rewarded for...
I would love to see It made into a one or two season television series on one of the cable channels - AMC, HBO, etc. That would be my dream scenario.
I wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone is informed on the issue (Ms. Mod you might able to speak to this) - I am planning on self publishing a collection of short stories late this year or...
You can order them thru Amazon. Then you're getting an entire arc in one consolidated volume. You can usually get them from third party sellers for cheap prices. I got Gunslinger Born as well as...
While I liked the book - I actually agree with you on this sticking point. And I listened to this on audio-book so it was even more annoying to hear the reader drawing it out a hundred times -...
I get people who might be let down by the ending but I loved the book. King's strong suit is building characters with depth and color - real people that you can hear in your head when you read. I...

Thank you for seeking out that information and sharing it with us. It was very enlightening to read Mr. King's thoughts as this certainly has been a controversial scene. This is a fantastic forum...
I've always thought that Naomie Harris from the Pirates of the Caribbean films would do a great job in the role. If and when the films do get made, this is going to be such an important casting...
It's a rough way of figuring it - but Roland passes over 200 levels of the Tower at the end. That's not an exact number since they say that sometimes multiple floors represented the same years but...
