Hi,
First post here after a while lurking and a late comer to reading Stephen King.
Just a quick back-story on how I came to start reading Stephen King books.
I am dyslexic and just found the sheer size of the books that caught my attention very daunting and put me off reading them.
Then a six month layoff with a back problem 5 years ago (I’m 49 now) meant I had time on my hand so I bought 11.22.63 for my wife’s eBook reader. No daunting book size
It took a while to get into it, I find getting into reading a problem. But it got easer and you may have heard the phrase “rhythm of reading” most people have it but dyslexics do not. But the way Mr King Writes I found a rhythm in this book and I finished it, wow what have I been missing.
Long story short I have now just finished The Dark Tower series and I am blown away. Wizard and Glass will say with me for a long time!!
The reason why I was brought to this site in the first place was I purchased The Dark Tower Sketch Book “The Gunslinger Born” signed my Mr King on the first page in silver ink.
It is supposedly from the 2007 NY comic con which Mr King did attend to promote this new venture with Marvel.
Could I post a picture of it here and have some feedback on it as to its validity?
I did not pay a lot for it and have it framed already. I’m in two minds to find out as I do like it a lot.
Thank you all in advance.
Ps. sorry for double post I did not see the newbies start here thread in time
