I know for a fact that when WotC was released I started the series anew for the 19th time....kinda stuck out.
better reading than coke as far as addictions go
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Four times.
Five times.
Between 6 and 10 times.
More than 10 times...

I haven't reread the whole series again but some books.

Yeah, coke vs DT.....no contest.
Both the drunk and snorted kinds.

Listening is reading people!
I put a low number because like most others, I have read the first 4 more times than I can count and the last three only 6 or 7
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I've only read the whole series once, but I have re-read I & IV a few times. I love reading I alot though. It has become almost poetic to me.
While I was finishing 7, I was reading 1 at home, and 4 at work. I was so desperate to make it last just a bit longer.
Like I said, I was REALLY trying to prolong it for as long as I could. So, while I was reading about Roland and Susan in 4, Rolands's beginning of his journey in 1, I was saving 7 for the perfect moments at night in my bed. I was trying to savor it the best I could. I wanted to make sure the last line I read in the series wasn't wasted. I felt like I was going to be saying farewell to a loved one.
girly, you really gave it a dignified ending.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Once for me, read all seven in about four weeks, cant wait to start again

I've read it over ten times. I try to make it a point to read it atleast twice a year.
"The Constitution shall never be construed....to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms" (Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87)
Just curious, how long have some of you who have re-read the series waited? It's been about 5 months for me. I've read Insomnia, Desperation, The Stand (To get a bit of DT in me after the series), and a few Koontz titles since then, and at the moment I'm reading "It". But now. . .man the series has just been stuck in my head. I'm just itching to read it again, but I really wanna read more of the other books that correspond to the series (I'm looking at you Eyes of the Dragon, Talisman, and Black House) so i have to wait through 4 more books! Grrrrrrrr damn you King and your wonderful story telling!
Also, I introduced my brother-in-law to the series yesterday, he's 120 pages into The Gunslinger and he's loving it. Finally someone in flesh and blood to talk with it about. My first conversion!
about...hmm....lets see.... 4 days?
I read it for the first time last summer and then again in April, so like 10 months for me.
I didn't read all the tie-in books until after my re-read though.
