I might have to throw a red flag on Hearts in Atlantis.....

From The Dark Tower Wiki....

SPOILERS

" Hearts in Atlantis introduces the character of Ted Brautigan. He becomes an important character in The Dark Tower. It is revealed then that he is one of the most powerful Breakers so the can-toi's pursuit of him in Hearts in Atlantis is logical.

There is also a brief mention of Walter O'Dim, operating under the name of Raymond Fiegler. Carol Gerber meets this man who takes in young and angry kids. He teaches them to be "dim".

Also in Hearts in Atlantis, we get one of the best pictures of how the low-men operate, in any of Stephen King's works. The lost pet posters play an integral part, but they also capitalize on human weaknesses to capture Ted.

Bobby Garfield refers to "other worlds than this" which reflects Jake Chambers when he says "there are other worlds than these." Roland Deschain and Ted play a father-figure role with Jake saying this line as Roland is about to lose him, whereas Bobby says it when he's about to lose Ted. This plays into the theory that Bobby and Jake are actually Twinners.

When Ted first meets Jake Chambers, in The Dark Tower: Book VII, he thinks Jake is Bobby Garfield, for a few seconds, until he notices some differences. This is very similar to how Jack Sawyer feels when he meets Twinners in The Talisman and Black House. "

Sorry,

But maybe I misunderstood what was meant by non Dark Tower book. Do you mean books not in the Dark Tower series but could still be related to The Dark Tower?

I guess I wasn't really thinking of the specifics behind it when I made the list.

If we eliminate books that tie to TDT we'd lose a lot of books, right?

Yeah, I think a case could be made for losing The Talisman as well. But if we make the specification that all Non Dark Tower books strictly referring to the series then ignore my earlier post and we continue on!
