It's another question I can't get bored with.
It's not easy to pick but if I must I say WaG.
The Gunslinger
The Drawing of the Three
The Waste Lands
Wizard and Glass
Wolves of the Calla
Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower
Nonono, I can't pick any.
Your favourite book of the series?

Roland would have understood.
Wolves of the Calla, by far.
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.
OchrisO, oh man you are quick.I have just opened the poll.
Roland would have understood.
same. Not by far, though. Some time ago I would have probably voted for The Waste Land, and before that for The Drawing. At the moment, though, it's Wolves.Originally Posted by OchrisO

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Gunslinger, without question. The introduction of Roland, the massacre at Tull, the slow mutants, the palaver at the end with the man in black, it's all there.

Wizard and Glass. I was just crazy about that book. Next favorite would be The Drawing of the Three.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Wolves definately... although TDoTT comes close.
Yeah, can't pick one.

It's hard for me to pick just one. I always have a hard time with these "which is your favorite?" questions where you have to pick just one, but if I have to select just one, I'll go with W&G like I always do with this question. I love them all though, and like to think of them as just one big book, though it is hard to do that, with the time gaps between the writing and publication of them and all.
Not picking one was an option, Toast. Just sayin.'

The Waste Lands.
Got my favorite character, the Tick Tock Man. Also has lots of good parts with Jake, and Blaine is pretty interesting.
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.
True, but I don't just go for the easy cop out like you Slice.I like to stay true to the question and answer, even though it's a hard choice.
Like others have mentioned this one is very hard for me, but I've thought about it and The Dark Tower is mine. I love them all though, it's just that The Dark Tower inches above the others because of the so many amazing moments in it that really touch me deeply.

For me, it was W&G. Before the end of the story it was always DotT and that book will always stand out as the best of the writing in the series.
However, after what we know now, I think this one is my favorite because it stands outside the controversial ending.
And that is why I like it best, not to mention, I am a sucker for true love.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
ZING!True, but I don't just go for the easy cop out like you Slice.
Anyway, I've only read through once, I'd rather be a bit more intimate with the series before I pick a favorite. Before, I was swept up in the story and didn't care of there were weak spots. This time I can read with a slightly more critical eye this time and with a better sense for which book is the strongest and which one I like the most.

The Drawing of the Three
There are close seconds, but this was the one that hooked me in and made me read the rest of the series.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Poor Song of Suze.

That's really sensible of you, good attitude. Too many just jump to a conclusion about it I think.

That is a good point Slice, so I'll have to cut you some slack on this one.
Poor Song of Suze.
I loved it but it's not my favourite.
Roland would have understood.
it's one of my four favorites! Only I couldn't find any way to make the poll reflect it.Poor Song of Suze.
I loved it but it's not my favourite.
