    Yes, I think a reread of at least three or more of the books a year will always be apart of my reading life. Last year, I mostly listened to books 1-4. This year I've read 5 and 6 and am currently on book 7. I think about Roland and his Ka and his ka-tet often. I feel like they are just apart of who I am.

    You're getting a divorce and want to move to New Hampshire, though. Right?

    Boy, Story, you just killed yourself with those words. I'm sorry.

    Anyway, what Maerlyn said, is exactly how I feel.

    I don't think there has ever been a series of books that spans 20 years. That's what makes the Dark Tower so special. I'm sure each book marks different chapters in SK's life. It sure has marked different chapters in mine. I pick one up every few years and read one all day when I get a chance. I sort of remember what was going on in my life when I think about a book in the series. Sort of like listening to a song you use to love a long time ago and remembering what you were doing back then.

    I've never really thought of it like that. That was really, really well put.

    I have never felt so profoundly hurt by a book before as when

    I'm sure I've already posted in here, but I remembered something earlier: I have a newfound appreciation for turtles and roses since reading the series.

    Only that it's stuck in my mind long after reading it. I read the series in the space of about a year. That was about two years ago. Only now have I signed up on this website.

    I totally get that. I remember getting in the habit of taking my dog for a walk while I was reading the series. To this day, I still think of the story as I'm walking. Maybe I'll find a door on one of my walks.

    Thank you.

    One special way that the series has affected my life is that it has allowed me to meet such special people online....like CK for instance. I never knew there were such absolute evil fuckheads in cyberspace.
