    Default Would you buy it...

    Even with my lukewarm opinion of the last three books I would still buy an 8th book in the series. I think most of us would. But would you hesitate? Would you get a general consensus from critics, communities like this one, or from a friend before making the decision to buy that next book?

    Are you talking about an 8th book of the Dark Tower series?

    Hell yeah we would buy it. I'd hate to speak for everybody here, but I'm pretty sure we would be all over an 8th book despite what some may think about the last 3 (which were fine in my opinion).

    This is Dt.com, would expect anything less?

    The poll has no choices for not buying it at all. I'd buy it too. But I had to think about it. Its not whether or not you would buy it that I'm really questioning. I just want to know if you'd get other opinions first.

    I'd probably read it out of curiosity, but I'd be disappointe dif he wrote another one.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Oh, I see.

    That being said, the only options I see would be if I should run or sprint to my nearest book store.

    I suppose I could think about inventing some kind of teleportation device, but by the time I researched, bought the equipment and developed the skill to pull off such an endeavor, I could have just driven my car.

    I wouldn't like to see a 8th book at all but if it existed I couldn't help.. I would buy it immediately.

    Roland would have understood.

    Good answer Matt.

    I also agree with what Letti said. I don't think there needs to be another book, but if there were one I would obviously feel compelled to read it.

    I wouldn't want him to do another book, but if he published the DT XXXVII I'd be at the book store a week early waiting on it.

    I'd love to see more of the tangents filled in and expanded on. I'd love to know more about what happened to Roland leading up to Tull etc...

    A short story is not a book.

    Novella...short story...etc. Still its an eighth chapter (albeit small) in the Dark Tower saga.

    Would I buy an eighth full DT novel? Hell yeah! Do I think it will ever happen or is really needed? Hell no! Like Maerlyn said above we've got the great new Dark Tower stuff coming in the comics. Man, March can't get here fast enough.

    I think it's pretty clear from the poll results that all of us would feel the compulsion to read anything else SK published about the DT/Roland, be it a short story, a 10,000 page novel or a trading card. The real question is, do we need another novel? I agree with Letti & Maerlyn that the answer is no.

    I would, and it seems like that window is open.
