    Would you like the series to be longer? More books or something?
    I am sure we all love it a lot but I guess there are some who think it's good as it is.
    We will see.

    Roland would have understood.

    can you make it a poll, love?

    I wouldn't like it to be any longer - it's perfect as it is, structure, composition and all - but I would like to see some additional stories, not directly included in the series (like Sisters)

    I can now. I am not sure these two options are exhaustive. Maybe someone wouldn't like it to be longer because it's already awfully long and boring...

    You are right... I gave another option, too.

    I voted yes because I would eat up any further Roland stories with a spoon.

    Same here. I would like something earlier like Little Sisters though!

    So lets say that King decided to write Roland: The End.

    You guys wouldn't be interested?

    Who ever said I wouldn't be interested? The question for the poll is "Would you like the series to be longer?" right?

    Not me, it was a question Matthew.

    The idea is that the story is complete. If SK wrote a book called The Dark Tower VIII--Rolands final loop.

    I would be cool with that.

    I feel the series is perfect as is and doesn't need extra books. I would love more connected books that add little tantelizing bits and new knowledge of the Dark Tower books, like the end stories of the comic books are. But if King all of a sudden came up with new Dark Tower books? HELL YEAH.

    I totally agree. The chances that we will have anymore on that particular story line are slim to none.

    I hate endings. I'd rather books go on forever, so I voted longer.

    You read my mind amigo. In fact, I will never stop hoping that someday King will actually get to writing this.

    As it stands, to me, it's of a fine length and the comics keep adding extra parts right now. But the series proper in book format does not need to be longer, excluding further future revisions.

    I would never fully leave The Dark Tower world if I didn't have to. That is, if he kept it interesting and wanted to keep going, I would keep buying them up and reading greedily. I never really cared to reach the tower personally, I had much more fun on the journey to it.

    it's a good question, yes: what do you mean when you say the ka-tet? I always mean the second one.
