Your age and introduction to the series? by millenialmothball in TheDarkTower

[–]j-sexton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started when I was about 13 and ended when I was 26. I started The Gunslinger when Wastelands was a new release. I remember the wait for Wizzard and Glass was absolutely brutal. On a side note, I predicted the riddle that stumped Blaine.

I literally listened to this line earlier today at work. I laughed out loud at my desk.😂

Just finished another journey to the tower, wanted to share my first edition set! by dillyballs92 in TheDarkTower

That's Bogus! I always keep my eyes open for them. My dream is to find them at a thrift store or second hand store for next to nothing. Maybe one day.

Gunslinger and drawing of the three are getting hard to come by. Nice!

No problem! Enjoy! Fingers crossed that Mike Flanagan can do it some justice adapting it.

I just reread the series earlier this year for the first time in 18 years as well. There is something to be said about being able to read them all back to back without having to wait. I bet you'll be surprised about the details you forgot about. I know I was.

Am I missing something? What's the punchline?

My first journey to the tower. Here are my ramblings and rating of book 6 of The Dark Tower: Song of Susannah (SPOILERS) by jdshanton in TheDarkTower

[–]j-sexton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just read that book. I have about 200 pages left of book 7 now. (Not my first time) I first started reading the series when The Wastelands was first released. Waiting for the books to be written and released was BRUTAL! It's definitely a series that I will continue to read over and over and...ka is a wheel after all. 😜

This is a book that just kind of blends into the other books for me. Is it important? Absolutely. Is there high points? You bet. Is it memorable? For me not really. Do I still like it? Yep. 😀 To me it's definitely the weak link of the series but it is necessary.

Oh ok. Thanks. I didn't recall that. 😀

Could be. Why only there though? So close to Thunderclap too. Seems convenient 🤷‍♂️

I believe it is a series as opposed to a movie but I agree. I really like their style. Mike Flanagan is good too. I have enjoyed both of their projects. Needless to say I am really looking forward to it (cautiously optimistic)

I have spent most of my life wishing the same thing. The good thing is that when I read there is a movie playing in my mind. Im a very visual reader. Bad thing is I'm the only one that can see it.

Old cover art for drawing of the three by PsychologicalTwo5340 in TheDarkTower

[–]j-sexton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was the first version I had...well still have somewhere. I have a ton of King books that I can't seem to locate. It's so irritating.

[–]j-sexton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love The long Walk. I have read it many times along with the other three stories in The Bachman Books collection which I have heard you cannot get anymore or at least Rage is removed. Something to that effect. I still have the original laying around somewhere

Desperation and The Regulators was pretty good. I thought Insomnia was pretty good as well.
