I'd buy it without question.
I'd see what others are saying then buy it regardless of what people were saying.
I'd buy it if I had heard that it was good from sources I trust I would buy it.
I'd buy it but if I didn't like it I'd likely stop there.

Without hesitation.
However, we don't need another book though. Comics and a potential follow up to Black House is all I need.
What if King wrote The Dark Tower VIII *end of series spoilers*
How would you feel if a hypothetical situation gave itself out, and Stephen King went ahead and wrote The Dark Tower VIII? Would you pick it up? Would you cry out in frustration because VII is the only ending?
Well, let's hear it!
Wait, VIII is 8 right? I suck at Roman Numerals.
Kind of on the fence, though. He made a big deal about he was a close to a happy ending as he could get, to leave the series with that one thought in your head...it seemed very final. I'd read it, but I'm afraid it'd spoil the ending of DT7, I love how open SK left it. Time will tell, I guess.
EDIT: Any source?
Yeah, VIII is 8
Great answer. Me, personally, I'm a sucker for closed, "happy" endings, so I'd pick this up and devour it with rabid euphoria.
Thanks for responding!
Is this meant to be humorous, or are you basing this on something?
I only ask because I fear that without any basis for conversation it might be deceiving to less-informed members.

No, Aaron , it is not meant to be humorous. I'm just asking how people would react to a hypothetical (albeit extremely unlikely) releasing of a 'final' installment in the DT series.
*edit*
I apologize for the confusion. I'll rewrite my initial post and ask a mod to revise the title of the thread so as to avoid further turmoil.
Alright, I edited my first post.
Whichever mod has power in this forum : Can you please change the title of the thread to "What if King wrote The Dark Tower VIII"?
Thanks!
i don't see why it needed to be changed....
anyways, If King did write it, I'd read it happily, yet lie and say I didn't, and then rabidly argue with anyone who said they did.
"VII IS the end, dumbass!"
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Agreed...however I wouldn't mind seeing some more books set in mid-world or offshoots there of.
yeah we talked about that in a different thread
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Wishes this was a poll.
Fooin' ay I'd be into it.
"The Constitution shall never be construed....to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms" (Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87)
Yes to both.
Would you mind elaborating a little, Ruth? I like hearing what you gotz to say
Thanks.
Sorry for the brevity.
I'm probably going to embroider that observation, but right now I'm in a bit of a mental fugue so I think I'll just take some OTC decongestants and call it a night.
and i'm sure DT-8 would come with a 25 page foreword warning us "don't read this, i had to write it but don't read it, please don't read it, seriously, you don't want to read it, but it is there, you can read it, just don't read it."

Roland would have understood.

I'd buy it without question. I'm a junkie.
Since we're on a DT-thread Bump-A-Thon...
*bump*
great thread, Feevie. I edited the title a bit as some of the earlier posts discuss the ending of DT VII.
as for an eighth and final final book...I don't think king could do it in one book. I think the do over would include an introduction of many new characters and would need another three to four books at least to go through the next full loop.
