Roland's dance.
Hands down.
I also loved the big dance, where Susannah sang and Roland danced the Commala.
Another favorite moment of mine is when Jake, Eddie and Oy first go todash. I loved seeing the mobsters getting freaked by Eddie's unseen presence in the room.
Eddie in this book was at his best. My favorite parts involve him...his todash trip with Jake and his confrontation with the gentlemen.
I love when he reads the letter left by Calvin's great great grandfather from Steven Deschain...gave me chills.
I'm glad you brought this up because I never got it.
How in the hell did that all come about anyway?
Did it say some place that the letter was written by Steven Deschain? I just listened to that part recently and I don't remember it being at all clear WHERE the letter/directions came from or WHO originally wrote it. I only remember the book saying it was from the will of Tower's great, great grandpa. Hmm.
I'm glad to see several of you mentioned the night of the welcome party in the Calla, and Roland dancing the commala. But, so far nobody has mentioned my single favorite part of this book which comes from the same night... three words...
"Oy, Eld, Thankee"
I have no shame admitting that moment brought tears to my eyes and really shows Roland's humanity.
That was the moment when I felt... yes... Roland has hope he is not lost and he deserves forgiveness.

I am not a gunslinger type so I am not afraid.
Ask yourself, man.
You are there as well.
Back to the topic.
My forever favourtie part from the whole series is the dance of Roland. Not just from this one but from all of them.
Mine is still the part of Callahan's story when he almost gets captured by Sayre up to where he ends up in the Doorway Cave. That whole sequence is just great.
Hell yeah and then they could hang out with John Cullum in his cottage by a fire and go over all the amazing things that happened to them.
That was such a cool answerQuote:

I actually agree too. I just like me some shoot-em-up fighting. :)
:evil: No.
I don't know. For my part I can't hate Cordelia so much.
And when life gives a real punishment if you shoot that person in fact you make them a favour.
But a bullet seems so appropriate for some people, and those two deserved it, big time, right in the fucking eye.
You're more forgiving than I. I think I mentioned it in another thread, but aside from Slightman, I find Cordelia to be the most despicable person Roland encounters in his wanderings. Cordelia sold her own niece's body. As for the punishment she eventually received from ka, it made it a bit better to know she suffered such a fate, but given the damage she'd done, I'd rather have seen her fall under Roland's guns.:shoot:
It's part of why I choose "amazement" in your Roland poll Letti. Letting Slightman walk away was something Roland did that I don't know that I would have been able to do myself.
I think letting Slightman the elder walk away proved something about Roland. He may be an accomplished killer but he is also just and far from blood thirsty.
That is sometimes not plainly apparent in his character, especially early on imo.
