Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether "fifth quarter" could stand for something general than the fact that it refers to Jerry in the short story.

A friend of mine and I discussed that "fifth...

My take: Roland now finds himself in the role of Cort. He has to turn someone into a gunslinger, which can be a harsh lesson. When Cort taught Roland, the only life in jeopardy was Roland's. If...

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding the „Demon and Door“ chapter. In section 15:

Eddie's head rocked back; his eyes widened with shock. He stared at the gunslinger, then slowly raised his...

Thanks for your insight!

Thnx. In Germany, we got something called „Glücksritter“ (knight of fortune). Maybe that‘s what the Hyperborean Wanderer is - a person in search for a better future. That would be a very poetic term...

So one could say that wandering off in the streets instead of going to school and searching for a happier place makes Jake the Hyperborean Wanderer? I mean he left school and everything to find a...

In The Dark Tower: The Waste Lands in Chapter 2 „Key and Rose“, we learn about the relationship between Jake and his...

Thnx!

I‘m just wondering because I am not able to post something somewhere else. Only here!

Is there a possibility to ask someone about a little detail in the book „The Waste Lands“?

Thnx, Alex

I have a question regarding the relationship between Jake and his father. In Chapter 2 „Key and Rose“, one can read:

„John Chambers, who was Jake to the three or four boys who were almost his...

Thanks! However, I also had to read the The Gunslinger several times to really appreciate it! The first time I didn‘t know what to think of it! Now that I am older I like it more and more. I think...

How did you discover the Dark Tower?

I discovered it a long time ago browsing King books in a library. It was the first volume The Gunslinger

Who is your favorite character?
