IT over TDT?! 02-15-2014 02:17 PMJean: bangs head against wall :
It is a masterpiece!! and TDT is not, it's uneven and at times annoying and at times exasperating ---
but, oh good Lord, these doors Jake opens at school, and the blue forspecial plate, and Faddah, and kill me if you can but command me nothing, and I may have betrayed but I've never taken a pair of spectacles for it, and aunt Talitha, and when is a door not a door, and -----------
bears can't vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 02-15-2014 02:48 PMDoctorDodgeLove IT, but The Dark Tower is as deep and personal to me as Doctor Who and Life on Mars. Had to go with the Tower on this one. 02-15-2014 07:18 PMMerlin1958 02-15-2014 11:12 PMJeanit isn't 02-16-2014 12:08 PMHeather19Hands down It! Dark Tower doesn't even come close. 02-16-2014 01:14 PMJean: faints :
how I wish I had your determination... :rose: 02-19-2014 05:57 AMHeather19Well I'm probably the only one here that's read the books and isn't a fan, so there really was no question in my mind :lol: 02-19-2014 06:35 AMJean 02-19-2014 01:38 PMPatrickOnce again, Amanda reads my mind and posts my thoughts. 02-20-2014 06:00 AMGirlystevedave:lol:
Spooky.
I really didn't not realize just how much everyone loved IT until this thread. I guess I was naive and thought that DT just sort of trumped everything else, the way it does for me. :unsure:
And, for the record, I'm not aiming for a debate or anything. I'm just airing my thoughts. Simply put, I'm dumbfounded by this revelation. 02-20-2014 06:10 AMwebstar1000I started reading King because of IT.... but I do not feel a connection to the characters in IT like I do in the Dark Tower.... I am sorry but IT is a great book but is no where near the Dark Tower.... I can't even remember all the characters in IT other than Bev and Richie.... (of course Pennywise)... But I remember the Ka-tet VERY well.... DT all the WAY!!! 02-20-2014 07:09 AMHeather19I always thought King was known for both The Stand and It. Those are his big two that you always hear people talking about. Maybe I'm wrong but I would bet that aside from here there are many King fans that have not even read The Dark Tower books. I always wonder if you took a poll of your average King fan where The Dark Tower would rank. 02-20-2014 07:22 AMGirlystevedaveAgreed. :)
You do have a point. I know that I was reading SK for a long time before I decided to read The Dark Tower books. I didn't associate him with TDT. I associated him with his more well known stories. Even though I had been reading his books for at least 10 years, TDT was unknown territory for me.
But, once I read The Dark Tower, it affected me unlike anything I had ever read.
(To be fair though, the ka-tet probably altered any future chance I may have had with having a healthy relationship with a fictional group of characters. :lol: This is my doom) Because, after TDT, nothing compared to the attachment I had to Roland, Jake, Eddie, etc.
But, I'm assuming that IT is that way for you?
