    Actually our site does an annual fundraiser for The Haven Foundation which is the foundation to which you're referring .

    And I agree the audios are great though my preference is for the ones with King reading them himself.

    I think King's right about this. I listened to the first two books. There's not a bad chance that if I had just picked up Gunslinger and started reading I might not have been as enthralled.

    I agree with Leti when it comes to love in a story. It can often seem clichéd, because how hard is it to write about love? Cliché's are cliché for a reason.

    I loved W&G, it's not my favorite at all, but I enjoyed another genre mixed into it. A Romeo & Juliet for the Western sect.

    As for the line? I loved it. Gets me every time I read it. I can understand that it can be seen in a jingle kind of way, but it's all about how you interpret the line I guess. To me it's a matter of throwing caution to the wind. About young love not caring about consequence. I'm remembering my first love and I thought I was so in love with her that I would never get over it.

    As for whether the line is meant as a "love me with your heart" or "love me with your parts" love, is it really that easy to separate? I certainly never got the idea that their relationship was based purely on teenage hormones. Yet, when you fall in love, don't you want to sleep with the person?

    I've never fallen in love with someone and not had sex on the brain. When you feel that strongly about someone, don't you want sex? Sex is right there. Call it making love if you want to, but it comes to the same thing. Wanting to be "one" with the person you love is as natural as anything else.

    I know the story had some moments that made me groan they were so cheesy, but this line is not one of them.

    When I'm in the moment and there is only me, some cool music, and the book I am reading? I'm right there. I feel like I'm todash and seeing these people in front of me. I can almost feel the tension between them when she says that line.

    I'm hopeless though. I hope to never be in situation like they were, but if I was in Roland's place and she said that to me? All over it...


    Here are my chips; I'm all in!

    As for the audio books, I just finished my first re-read of Wolves and read the afterword about Frank Muller. I too am keeping in mind what he said about how completely you are enveloped by the words being spoken to you. I've found myself skimming along to get to the good parts, and have to go back and force myself to read them.

    I think I have to check out the audio books when I next travel to the Tower!

    I'm going to use the "if you love me then love me" line on my wife tonight. I'll let y'all know how it goes tomorrow.

    No big surprise for bears

    (my wife would have giggled, thinking I was quoting some especially corny passage from a ladies' magazine I'd seen at some waiting room, and asked for more; we would have had some good laugh, but the - you know - would have been ruined)

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I used the line on my husband and he didn't get it. He just said, "But I do love you!"
