I can't remember that, are you sure? (probably I didn't notice, it isn't important anyway...)
Thank you
Oh, I liked him.
He is okay but I wouldn't like to have a coffee with him for long.
He was hardly bearable.
I couldn't stand him at all.

I voted hardly bearable he was such an stubborn prick! It was this that annoyed me the most especially when I was wanted the tet back together and they had to arse about sorting out Calvin because he wasnt very good at staying hidden.
That said not everyhting for Roland's tet can and did go right so maybe it is fitting!
You are right.
I re-read that part and neither Eddie nor Roland told them to do so. Eddie mentioned the ring, he asked if Aaron had a ring with 'Ex Libris' on it so he might have given Aaron the idea to buy it but in fact they had never told the two men to save Callahan.
So I guess it was accidental. Or ka. Whichever you prefer.
Roland would have understood.
Give me 19 books pleez!! Wouldn't mind a bit
“The devil's voice is sweet to hear.”
-SK.
19, none of the 12 we're regrettably missing any shorter than The Waste Lands or DT7... put together...
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 think under normal circumstances Calvin was probably a nice guy although obsessive about books but most who met him would just see the laid back gentleman that Jake first ran into in The Wastelands. Later we saw the other side of him when he was being cornered and scared to death by the bad choices he had made in his life which in turn brought out the worst in him.

I totally agree.
It's like marrying someone... to know someone or to live with them... totally different stories.
I think Calvin was liked by many people because they didn't see the dark side of his greediness. The people who met him in the bookshop met a gentlemen who respected and loved books.
I think I would have liked him, too. I miss such shop assistants from my life.
Roland would have understood.
This has made me reasses my opinion of Calvin. I guess you are right because if h hadnt insisted on pushing his books through the door theI think under normal circumstances Calvin was probably a nice guy although obsessive about books but most who met him would just see the laid back gentleman that Jake first ran into in The Wastelands. Later we saw the other side of him when he was being cornered and scared to death by the bad choices he had made in his life which in turn brought out the worst in him.Spoiler:
Plus he was nice to Jake and I cant really expect him to stand and be true like the gunslingers! Maybe not so much of a prick.
WOW!! You've just put everything I was thinking into words! lol I agree with the above! And don't forget - if they took him through the door then Black 13 would have been able to get to him as would the voices in the cave - i think simply - his mind wouldn't have been able to handle going through the doors.

Calvin probably woulndt have gone through the door anyway. Eddie would have had to drag him through resisting all the time and he wouldnt have taken any heed of the dangers in the Calla and ended up killed. The Gunslingers had a lot to deal with in the Calla and Calvin would have been a major hindrence. He wouldnt have been happy with his books being left in the cave and would have tried to make them take them somewhere maybe?
Although, I think Anjerith hits the nail on the head. Calvin needed to be able to save Callahan and we dont know the chain of events which lead up to him doing this. Rather than ust a last minute decision it could be a whole host of things which lead up to him taking that action which he needed to be in Keystone world to experience.
