    I'm about half way through the revised The Gunslinger.

    Brilliant minds and all that.

    I agree. I'm also glad that I read the original first, but the revised definitely ties in with the series in a different way. I'll admit that I found the amount of foreshadowing to be a bit overwhelming though.

    I really do not care for her as a character much. I finished Book 6 not too long ago and it was almost too overwhelming to me with her. I am now taking a break before I pick up book 7...

    That's the way to do it!

    I have a moderate goal set of 50 pages a day, and alternate books going at the same time, although 11.22.63 is certainly commandeering most of my attention at the moment!

    50 pages a day is a good haul. My reading has slowed down considerably going into my 30's, but I try to at LEAST get 25 pages in a day.

    Nope lol this is my first read through. I tried to start it in college but I read the revised gunslinger and didn't like it at all. The I picked it up again at my old apartment and started moving right as I finished the Gunslinger. Picked it up again about last Nov. and finally finished book 6, 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think I am going to read one more book after ETOD before I read book 7

    Yeah, there is that.

    I would like to see a side by side comparison. If I could get both versions in digital form I might collate them myself.

    Another great "book about books" is Book Row: An Anecdotal and Pictorial History of the Antiquarian Book Trade (2003), a wonderful look at NYC's famous Book Row circa 1890's to 1960's. What a unique, special time and place for book lovers.

    As a King fan, I wanted to get into Barker but I just couldn't. I don't recall the order but I did read Weaveworld, The Great and Secret Show, The Damnation Game, Cabal, and a couple of the Books of Blood collections, so I gave it a good go. Barker just seems so...random...I guess. Out of the above, The Damnation Game had the tightest plot, but the others just struck me as "making it up as you go" with no real cohesiveness. It might be that my issue is with fantasy as a genre (which I do not care for). Too much "and then magic happened out of nowhere."

    An ex-girlfriend swore that Imagica was the best book ever but I have not tested that theory.

    I also never could get into Straub.
