I don't think it isn't worth a read. I especially loved:
Spoiler: 05-13-2008 08:21 PMPower SurgeYes. 05-13-2008 08:33 PMWuducynnOkay, then where do you get the idea that the Dark Tower is a machine? 05-13-2008 09:16 PMMonteGssWildfire, to have a better story, get both of the versions and each time you do a reread of The Dark Tower, start with the original version of DT1 and read them in order and end your reread with the revised DT1. It makes sense that way and I am not entirely convinced that King meant it as a "replacement" book. 05-13-2008 09:21 PMMonteGssYes, I'm interested to hear your ideas as well. 05-13-2008 10:50 PMLettiAnd anyway here is a whole thread about this topic (revised or not) with lots of great posts: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...read.php?t=352 05-14-2008 04:22 AMrazzQuote:

Spoiler: 05-14-2008 07:54 AMMonteGssThat is a great thread! ;) 05-14-2008 01:11 PMBrainslingerDo you see the revised as being the next loop after The Dark Tower then?
This isn't the case when you consider it's explicitly mentioned that he doesn't have the horn at the start of The Revised Gunslinger.
I guess the original gunslinger could be set in a previous loop though.
I'm sure that wasn't King's intention, but whatever. If something isn't written down readers can make of it what they will. 05-14-2008 01:22 PMdaveg344[quote=razz2008;168055]Quote:

whoa when did this happen? I don't remember anything about this in the DT series. Or was it in another book referencing the DT world? 05-14-2008 01:25 PMWuducynnBrainslinger, I think Letti posting the link to the thread about the revised Gunslinger was her subtle hint that we're off-topic. 05-14-2008 01:42 PMMonteGss:rolleyes: 05-14-2008 01:53 PMalinda*looks to the top of the page to determine where I am*
Oh yeah, how many times? I think endless , unless he
Roland opens his heart/mind...but really do we think the
tower is stuck in the same cycle too? The beams go on
breaking , fixing, only to break again for Rolands advancement? 05-14-2008 02:08 PMalindaI think Walter is described as being a liar in every word! 05-14-2008 02:19 PMobscurejudeThat's clearly not the idea with their palaver at the end of the Gunslinger. The only good lies are the ones that are partly true. Remember the poem is a dramatic monologue, told only from the speaker's perspective. Childe Roland "thinks" that the cripple lies in every word, but he still follows the path the cripple points in, agreeing that at the end is the Dark Tower. 05-14-2008 02:38 PMMattI think the beams are only breaking for Roland personally.
I know, I know...the quakes, the whole thing. Everyone felt it. But I am coming to believe that all of it, every character, ever event...everything, its all because of him. 05-14-2008 04:30 PMalindaRoland as the center of the multiverse? Or....Roland is The Tower? 05-14-2008 05:09 PMalindauh yes I see that....n/m *I'll just go over here and rethink this*-------------------> 05-14-2008 05:18 PMUnfound One 05-14-2008 05:23 PMalindaI know when Matt said ...its all because of him.
my head nearly exploded ! 05-14-2008 08:58 PMPower SurgeThe Tower is a machine infused with prim. I know it is! ;) 05-14-2008 11:36 PMJeanit's one of the ideas I've been toying with for some time by now, too... Not only Roland, by the way - everyone. 05-15-2008 03:15 AMalindaNot so far fetched tho, considering the ture fabric of
our existance. 05-15-2008 09:34 AMMarkI seem to have the memory that, in DT7, Walter mentions about him wanting to get to the tower, that he was on the same journey as Roland, and that was the only reason he works for The crimson King, 'cause he wants to get to the tower. From this, i assumed he'd never been to the Tower, but wanted to get there. Walter saying what he said to Callahan, is his belief, and belief is just a different word for opinion, in my opinion, and we all know that opinions aren't facts. 05-15-2008 11:24 AMrazzi can't specifically remember where, but i think roland tells the tet this in one of thier palavars.Quote:
