    My favorite book was Wizard And Glass.
    My favorite part was the battle at the end, when Susan breaks Roland, Cuthbert and Alain out of prison, then the shoot at the citgo, was Alain uses the speed shooter to take out Farson's men and blows up a few tankers. Then Roland puts two slugs in Jonas face at close range. Then the rest of Farson's men get trapped in teh canyon and eaten by the thinny... God did I love that book.

    Yeah, it's a little tough to read.

    that's okay. i don't see how it couldn't. also...that post really belongs in a wizard and glass discussion thread. i don't think there's one just showing love for it yet...only polls. if you'd like to start one, i'd be more than happy to move your post there.

    love for w&g, or somesuch.

    I have removed the ALL CAPS from that post, only for the sake of readability: it was the starter post of this thread, so it should be readable. (the author is notified; if he'd rather have caps there, I'll get them back)


    This is a very good idea for a thread. I don't like W&G - it's one of my two least favorite of the series - but there were parts there that I loved. I think they are universally loved, - because they are great. The showdown at the Romp, of course, and the battle at the end... and, of course, the last flashback, the tragic scene the second ka-tet saw in the pink ball, and the talk that followed.

    One of my favorite parts in W&G is the stand off at the bar between Roland and his Ka-Tet and the Big Coffin Hunters, especially the part where Roland tells Jonas something along the lines of : "Drop the knife, no more talking. Do it or die."

    That's really the top, isn't it? The whole scene, not only since Roland was there. I think it's the absolute best in the book. And this is the part you mean:

    "Holster the gun," the voice behind the sharp tip of metal said. It was empty, somehow -- not just calm, but emotionless. "Do it now, or this goes in your heart. No more talk. Talking's done. Do it or die."

    Agreed. The way it was portrayed in the comics is exactly the way I had imagined it while reading through it. I also love the way that Lee drew out Jonas's eyes, he looks like the devil incarnate.

    I loved that scene as well. Jonas knew that the voice behind him was not fucking around.

    That's what I always want to see in movies. "Drop it now or die"

    This for me has always been one of the best parts of the book for me as well....Roland, even at quite a young age, is not one to be lightly.

    I just finished a light reread of W&G. I skipped most of the Roland in a flashback and focused on the post blaine and the wizard of oz. I do have to say that the red slippers and the clicking of the heals was pretty funny. At this point in the book, a lot of stuff happened in a short time and I think they were pretty beat. To walk up to five pairs of red shoes made me giggle. Oh stephen king, you crack me up.

    also, the "note" that Flagg leaves for them back on the path of the beam with the smiley faces.

    I just listened to the "showdown" between the ka-tet and Big Coffin Hunters in the bar again. I think that really is the best part of an otherwise "too mushy" book. Cuthbert cracks me up.

    My favorite part as well. And the standoff that follows is another great part as well.

    Whats wrong with mush? The romance between Roland and Susan is awesome and you lick sweaty donkey anus.

    It is not sweaty.



    Oh and the mush story was kinda lame. It is a tiny bit better after reading it a half dozen times and listening to it twice. Tiny bit.

    I am rereading W&G their love still rocks. For me at least.
    Somehow it's so... innocent and true. Selfish and hot. Great and small.
    Okay.
    I have stopped.

    Roland would have understood.

    My favorite part of this book is when Jonas meets O'Dim. Fantastic, creepy suspense.

    Oh yes. And it's so good to see what a bunny Jonas can be. It's good to see him fear.

    After reading the comics last night, I retract any sour comments I've made against Susan. She really did care, and it hurt to see he die, her life for Roland. I plan to reread the book, with my new outlook, but am now not looking forward to the death of her. It may be very hard this time.

    I'd have to put in a mention of Susan's rescue of the boys from the pokey. Though she's no gunslinger, she certainly showed a level of courage equal to that of her beloved. Poor Deputy Dave.
