I had completed the DT series prior to the release of Wind. I loved reading it afterward because it reminded me of things I loved in the series, such as the unique Mid-World language.

As some of you know I have not yet read these books. My plan is to start after finishing Revival. You guys have me motivated!
I was going to read them in order of release date but a friend of mine said that he thinks Wind Through the Keyhole is actually supposed to be in between books 4-5 or 3-4(he wasn't sure of the order).
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I stick to release date or shuffle some around?
...try Wind in the Willows in place of Keyhole...that'll REALLY make it a special experience...As some of you know I have not yet read these books. My plan is to start after finishing Revival. You guys have me motivated!

Wow, many people seem to stop at wizard and glass. I did the same for a bit.
Neesy, notebookgirl, get back on the path - wizard and glass is a great book, there is so much meat on the Susan section to sink your teeth into.
Which version do you have? A lot of people say that gunslinger is hard to read, I read the 2003 revised edition and found it easy reading. If you do find yourself struggling just stick with it, the general consensus is that the whole series really gets going from book 2. Enjoy your journey.Thanks for chiming in guys and gals. I'm going to start The Gunslinger tonight and I think I'll go in order of release. Looking forward to the journey and learning the wild language you all refer to!
You won't be sorry!Me, too! I knew nothing at all about the DT series, but saw that Stephen King had a book out called The Wind Through the Keyhole so I bought it on vacation in the States.
Then I read DT 1 through 3 and on Dark Tower IV Wizard and Glass I put it down - sheesh! Thanks for reminding me - I need to pick this one up again and keep it by my bedside.
Why do so many people have such a hangup with The Gunslinger? The whole "blade of grass" conversation with the man in black, is awesome imo.
I absolutely love The Gunslinger...I really was hooked from that very first sentence.
