I now belong to the ranks of those who have read the “Dark Tower” series. For any readers of S. King, please make the journey and pick up The Gunslinger!
Starting with the revised “Gunslinger” (back in July), I devoured the seven books, in order. Kindle Fire helped me immerse myself – amazingly! I never thought I could give up the feel of holding a physical book. (I still miss actually owning the hard copies of the books, one of my SK hard covers is even autographed…. but ownership may come with time…oh dear, I just realized how much I am like Calvin Tower)
Backslide to the history of my reading appetite: I have always loved reading Stephen King – what I called his “normal” or “regular” books – that included everything except the Dark Tower books. Now I am amazed at how blind I was to have dismissed this series – like a person who doesn’t like lobster, because they have never tried it! (that’s me, too)
On to Wind Through the Keyhole!
And may I add – With love, from Maine! Home to many images and vignettes from so many books – Kennebec Fruit Store, the Empire Theater, WBLM, Rt. 1, the Paul Bunyan statue, Dysart’s…..
