I'm reading the series for the second time, nearly finished The Gunslinger so far :)
I'm on SoS.

Welcome to the site, echo. :rose:
You're fast, Brian.
I'm reading the series for the second/third time. The first 4 I've already read twice and the last three I've read once.
So now I'm just finishing Wizard & Glass and will be moving on to my second reading of the final 3.
But this time, I'm also branching out to pick up some re-reads of interconnected novels/collections. For example, I just finished re-reading Hearts in Atlantis and 'Salem's Lot. I'm even going to re-read Insomnia this year (I book I pretty much hated by the way.) Not sure what else I should re-read to round out the last 3 DT books.
Any suggestions?
Just finished reading the entire series for the third time. Quickly zipped through Little Sisters, and currently up to date on graphic novels. About to start reading Insomnia, followed by Hearts.
Thanks much...that is a sweet sig :thumbsup:
I'm re-reading Book 2 on the toilet and Roland just lost two of his fingers. Let me assure you, it's a lot more entertaining than reading that same shampoo bottle a million times.
No, you are not. :lol: I read all labels including ingredients multiple times.
As a kid I used to know them by heart... :lol:
Well, my memory isn't so good, but I've read every bottle, can, box, bag, and package in the house several times by now I think. :lol:
Since my last post 2 days ago, I've managed to work my way through 1/4 of the book. Yes, I go a lot. Why, just this morning I got asked by the dude in the next stall not to strike up conversation with him while he shits. What's so weird about that?! I'm not weird, HE'S weird! I got to thinking of Michael Vick while sitting on the john, so what?
Since I've just finished reading W&G, I've now read the first 4 books 4 times. I've only read the last 3 once, but I'm going to start on Wolves in a few weeks.
I read Gunslinger and DO3 several months ago, and then took a break. Wound up picking up Wastelands because I couldn't find anything else to read. Well, had to force myself to read slowly since it's one of my favorites. Moved right into W&G, which I just finished on my way to work this morning. Speaking of which, why am I not working? :evil:
Will definitely post again when I pick up Wolves. I want to make it last so I need to curb my enthusiasm!
I read the first two Dark Tower graphic novels, and still get so torn up at the end of Roland's tragic tale. Ka like a wind indeed...
No matter how many times I read it, I always hold out hope that Roland's bullet finds it's target while in the Palace. Maybe next time!
Good to have you here MPatrick. You look like a real DT junkie. And your av is something.
Thanks, Letti. I love your new av, it's beautiful.
Its weird, I re-read W&G, then Little Sisters, then the comics a week ago or so, then realised i've lost/ lent out the rest of my collection. Cue the past week of trawling second hand shops trying to find the rest of the series.
I've since found WOTC (which I finished two days ago) and DOTT which I bought and began yesterday. So i've been reading in a higgledy-piggledy roundabout way. I wanna buy and read SoS and DT in sequential order though. I may have to just bite the bullet and fork out the dosh for brand new copies again though. I can never find Dark Tower books in second hand bookstores! (Proof mayhap that once read, you're a Tower junkie for life?!)
I am still right before attacking Blue Heaven.. I think I can't go on because I know what's coming. This is my 2nd time reading the last book.
I'm doing my third reading of 1-4 and second of 5-7 on audiobook. So I get about 34 minutes of DT per day, or at least 3 or 4 days per week, while riding in the car. It's a lot of fun, and I really get to enjoy it. It's been taking me a long time. I forget when I started (in the spring?), but yesterday I arrived at the scene in Wolves when Father Callahan interrupts the ka-tet's meeting on Calvin Tower and the vacant lot. Eddie, Jake and Oy had just gone Todash for the first time.
I am on my second reading of The Wastelands. It's been a few months since I finished the series but it didin't finish with me so it seems. I felt the pull and I started the Wastelands and it wsa like meting up with old friends ahhhh. :)
