The hubba about the dark tower

[Cowboy]

It is my favorite series ever. I remember going to the bookstore looking for something to read and this new arrival had just come in called The Gunslinger. I thought it so very odd that King was tackling a Western. I picked it up, admiring the cover and thinking it was more than a Western. I read the first line....The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed. I was hooked from that moment with the world of Roland. I promptly went up, paid for the book and devoured it several times before the second one was released. It was like that after every one of them....read, read and re-read waiting for the next one to come out, wondering what would happen next to the gunslinger.

They are great books! I agree with John, if you don't like them I will eat your hat.

I just started reading The Gunslinger and I am loving it!! I picked it up at a used book store Friday and that evening I got about half way through before putting it down for the evening. Yep. that's what I do on a friday night. read. What could be more thrilling, right? I can't wait until I am finished so I can come in here and read everything without worrying about stumbling on spoilers.

I read the books as they were published...anticipating each one, and waiting, (not so patiently) sometimes for years for the next book. The wait made each new book that much more cherished. There have been multiple rereads in between publications, and now, I've reread the series start to finish twice. Roland, Eddie, Jake, Susannah, Oy, they are a part of my life. They feel like friends. The rereads never get old - I always find something I'd forgotten...picking up one of the books again always makes me feel like coming home.
