I'm currently to Wastelands on my 2nd time around reading this series. I am struck again by the descriptions of the "world has moved on" and all the old modern type things, showing a once thriving,...

Thanks, perhaps I will give this a shot some day the way Roland did it. Just want to be prepared for when the post-apocalyptic virus hits us or when I decide to go to Alaska to live in the...

Does anyone know if the description of how Roland and Susannah made the dear hides and tanned them to make winter clothing is accurate? I occasionally hunt myself, but have no idea. If I followed...

The overall story is almost that of opposite of hero. Roland is the main character/hero with all the qualities of superior gun-fighting skills, courage, wit, strength, endurance, and many hero...

Thanks for all the theories. I sort of agree with the idea that the Dark Tower has control of all worlds. The axle, if you will. So I think he goes back to the same time frame. Otherwise, even the...

I am a big western fan. Your opinion is fine, but I really would disagree with much of your top 10. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly has to be the mother of all westerns. And Fistful of Dollars is...

Well, in the story it was a very new town that went down quickly with the mining issues. So it was new in its setting, it was not an old worn down ghost town.

I would play Roland. I have blue eyes. I grew up in South Dakota (cold/hot cowboy area) I own a revolver that resembles what I imagine Roland's to look like. [I had it before reading the books. I am...

Well, by the end of the book there are obvious issues and after you read the next book it becomes very obvious, but I just felt as I started reading The Gunslinger the very first time, without having...

I looked for an ending message and couldn't find it but thanks for putting it in the right place. I'm sure I will never have problems finding it again?

Kudos to you "storyslinger" for showing such...

When I first read The Gunslinger, I really thought we were reading about a story on Earth far into the future after all of our civilization and machines ruined things. I still thought this until...

I really have a difficult time imagining Roland as anyone other than Clint Eastwood from The Man with no Name movies, which are awesome by the way and everyone should go watch to see what inspired...

The way the story ends, Roland is basically going around and around in this never-ending qwest, although he has the horn at the end, which may make some difference.

The todashes between Roland's...

Song of Susannah just felt like the beginning of The Dark Tower VII. It was a fine book with a very important piece of the story. But I really felt like it was only separate so that The Dark Tower...

I guess Wizard and Glass was probably my fastest read as I was engrossed in the flashback story and the love story between Roland and Susan, since you know it is going to end horribly but I was still...

I have reread The Gunslinger. There are parts that obviously made a lot more sense. I never read the original, though. The version I had was one the King went back and "finished". I will have to look...

I've never message boarded on the Dark Tower before. I finished the series this past December. I always saw the books in college and wanted to start it but finally got around to it last year (6 yrs...
