Welcome tbone, adammoro, Emmanuelle, (I've seen your movies.:evil:)
Admittedly, I've only just started reading for pleasure about six or seven months ago. I saw the DT movie trailer and had been wanting to get into reading for a while at that time so I thought why not start with that. I read Gunslinger and was hooked. Honestly, the ending blew my mind. I powered through until I finished Wizard and Glass and realized I'm missing out on all the connections from his other novels and stories. I decided then I'd read his work in chronological order and ordered a copy of Carrie. I'm now about a quarter of the way through The Stand and still kicking myself for not picking up this hobby much earlier in my life. Yet, the bright side, as you said, is I have SO much left of this amazing author's work to read!Quote:

So, as far as Dark Tower goes, have you paused at Wizard and Glass for now so you can read his other works?

Long time reader/collector/ purveyor of secret handshakes and illumanati membership so the Dark tower called to me and naturally I followed the path of the beam and arrived at a bookstore with a single rose in it's back garden picked up a book on the shelf named Gunslinger and my life was never the same again.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland with Jake chambers not too far behind.
What is your favorite book?
in the DT series Drawing of the three. By SK hmmm that's like asking if you like all your kids equally (I don't have kids so EOTD)

38

Yes but I don't kiss on the first date so you will have to get to know me better.
