You know I believe its a book about the existential conscience of America. I really do. It is bleak and depressing, but its perfectly in line with Browning and Eliot. Its a perfect ode to the...

I like thinking of the time bubble like the gingerbread house that Sheemie created for Dinky, Ted, and himself to discuss things off the radar of the low men.

Hopefully Lisa will explain it. I think its a great theory.

Check out the Donnie Darko thread bumbler. I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)

So you are finally coming around to my view of the loops as different each time. Welcome. We've been waiting for you. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Lisa, does this contradict your theory about Roland being in a...

Scroll back and respond to the previous posts specifically. The topic has been discussed at great length. I think you'll find it enjoyable.

Also, check this thread out. We talk a lot about the...

There is a lot of religious imagery in the Gunslinger that I think plays a part in this question, though I'm not sure its explicit.

The desert is an apotheosis (Biblical temptation of Christ)

I think you're right in regards to the series Letti, but I have a real problem with the body not being given an account epistemologically. Like my post about the doors on the beach, my concern rests...

That's clearly not the idea with their palaver at the end of the Gunslinger. The only good lies are the ones that are partly true. Remember the poem is a dramatic monologue, told only from the...

I don't think it isn't worth a read. I especially loved:

The additions to everything in Tull. Really loved nineteen being brought into the plot.

Couldn't agree more, but if you run across it in a used book store, why not?

I see it differently, hence:

Why I posted something other than your spoiler

I saw it. I simply expanded upon it. You posed it as a question, I posed it as fact.

I think it is about Walter on a larger scale. Roland, in the poem, still goes in the direction the Hoary Cripple is pointing. Although Roland believes every word to be false, "aquiecsingly" he still...

If that's the case, then why lay emphasis on the "top" of the tower. Walter is clearly designating something.

How could it be empty, if something is restarting time?

Not necessarily, how?

I guess you qualified your statement to an extent by saying that Walter didn't know the specifics, but I was thinking that being aware of time itself repeating would necessitate a belief in a Gan or...

If you think he knows about the loop, then how is that compatible with his assumption that the room is empty?

It wasn't definitive, I just really like the idea. I'm going to think about it some more. I have a few things to say, but I want them to be clear.
