A few times. Currently in the middle of my fifth reread.
Who here has read the Dark Tower series?

I keep loving these memes I wish I could turn them into business cards and hand them to people when appropriate. Thanks Danie.
Read them three times (I feel a bit guilty about that) and listened to the audio version. The next time I enter that world I think I'll read them to the audio version, kinda like reading lyrics to a song you like, or want to learn. I will read them in a slightly higher pitch so I can get some harmony.
Why would you feel guilty about that, mal?
I'd like to hear from some folks that have not read them.
Joining this board way back when, I knew I had to.
Like the Rat said somewhere, 'It's like a club we all joined'
.
And you will not understand our Calla-Speak or strange references.
I am just mad at myself that it took me so long, And mal - I feel guilty because I got to read them back to back - not waiting years like many members had to.

Hi not_nadine! Because twice is enough and I could have used that time to read something new and interesting or solve global warming or something like that.
No guilt , Mal. There is never enough of the DT journey. Savor it.
I am re-reading. I find something new each time. Not that this was new, but..
Jake is showing the key to the cop in NYC. Everybody stops. The non-librarian with the shoes.. cracks me up. Little things.

Same here. I didn't read them until they were all published.
I probably posted this before. I remember going to the library or a book store, hearing that a new Stephen King book was out.
And saying to myself, 'pffft, another one of those cowboy books'
What I did not know, was alot.
Thank you, SKMB.
I started in 1990. I had just finished Misery and Pet Sematary and needed another fix. I picked up The Wastelands at a used book store and after I completed it I went back to read series in order. I didn't pick up another DT book until about 5 years ago. I finished the last book around Christmas. I just realized I need to read Wind Through the Keyhole. I liked them but enjoy the stand-alone novels better (even though I understand all his books interconnect to the tower in one way or another).
Yayayayayayyaaayyy! I was the 19th vote for Yes, loved them!
See, it's the little things. 
That we get.
Every time I read them I picture Stringer Bell from The Wire as Roland 
I've read them twice btw. First time as they came out.
....was anyone helping you with the big words?.....
They don't all tie in. Some play a large part, some are very tangental associations, but many don't connect at all. If you need a copy of The Wind Through the Keyhole, I have an extra you're welcome to have
Yes, that's true, but I suppose I was referring to Gan, Sai King, as the author of all...They don't all tie in. Some play a large part, some are very tangental associations, but many don't connect at all. If you need a copy of The Wind Through the Keyhole, I have an extra you're welcome to have
Wow, that's a very kind offer, but I couldn't accept. I will end up reading it from the library, I guess, and I need to read Finders Keepers while I'm at it. Did you enjoy Wind Through the Keyhole?
I read them as they were published. I have Wind Through the Keyhole, but haven't read it. Not sure why,
I think I am saving it for some reason .....
