DT7
Spoiler:
Roland would have understood.
I am currently on my third reread of the series. Just started The Waste Lands,Spoiler:
have started readin R Scott Bakker again, but now i've joined this site i hear the song again. guess i finish Warrior Prophit in double time, then it's back to the gunslinger.
The man in black... etc. will be my 7th time, but each reread, i discover somthing new. may read little sisters first. has been years since i picked that off the bookshelf.
Im in the Wastelands again, the ka-tet have just started down the Path of the Beam and Jake is going crazy (just left school and is off into town).
Brian, that reminded me of my dream last night! Thankee-sai, will write about it in IMMRN thread.
I'm right now reading WoC along with Imajica. Ka-tet is in Calla Bryn Sturgis and Roland has just danced his commala dance. I can never get enough of the DT series!
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
I am preparing to start this year's reread.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I finished the series for the first time last night. I had planned to go to sleep after finishing the book. I'm sure you all understand how helplessly impossible that could be after finishing the greatest story of all time. Instead I put down The Dark Tower and immediately picked up The Gunslinger to start all over again...
Spoiler:
AlChron77 - Welcome to the site... and the club.
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Thank you, sir. Glad to be here.
(ma'am)
welcome, though!
I recently ran out of books and after re-reading Black House I now picked up The Gunslinger again.
Roland just met Jake.
I am still on DT7. It's not easy to read because I know what's coming...
So as I was travelling to Lake Balaton by train to see my family I was reading DT7 and when Roland met Sheemie again I couldn't help and I started to cry. Interesting because when I first read it I didn't. But now... it touched me so much.

It is so understandable! The first time there are too many factors that distract you from sheer raw emotion - like the desire to know what happens next, and the shock of learning what is happening, and the effort itself of reading something new... while on the other times you're left alone with what you feel, and the fact that you have already been prepared only amplifies everything, making it ten times as strong as it was the first time.
(that's why I'll never be rereading Blaze... that first time nearly killed me, so if I ever start a reread, I'll warn you beforehand to call for the doctor, the priest, and the undertaker.)

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said. You are right, Jean.It is so understandable!

Still on my re-read.
Started WotC yesterday.
As of 15 minutes ago, the ka-tet are just waiting for Callaghan to bring the rest of his party to the campsite for palaver.
Hello.
I found that my 2nd time through I cried alot more because I knew what was happening. I could feel the emotions inside me bubbling over the top.
I laughed alot too
Wow! Glam! Long time no see! I mean... WOW! :hug:Hello.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from. I guess my re-reading got very slow because of the same reason. I know what's coming. :sigh:

Kris! Long-Long time no see!Hello.

I am back to The Wizard and the Glass and just finished reading about when Roland and Susan make out on the drop and she starts to hear the wind of Ka blowing.
I have about 100 pages left of the series.
Reading it for the second time or the tenth time, the same parts still hit me the same way each time. Whether it is laughing my ass off at Gasher's singing and his verbal assaults on Jake or crying at the death of my friends...these books are just so damned good.
up to the 4th book and halfway through trouble is stirring with roland, bert and alain and the big coffin hunters
I'm about 100 pages into SoS. The shooting just went down at the gas station (fantastic scene) and Eddie and Roland are on the boat with the man Ka placed to help them. I miss Jake (my favorite character) and Callahan, and I hope the story returns to them soon.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
