[SpidermanGeek]

Just seeing if anybody's read this 7 volume series.

I'm currently halfway through Volume 2... God I hate reading books, lol.

But it's a good story, I really enjoyed (the LSD enduced) Volume 1, lol.

Almost done Volume 2 now... it's taking foreever!! lol. But it's getting good!!

[SpidermanGeek]

Finished the second book, now I gotta get my butt in gear and read Book 3, The Waste Lands.

[French_Geek]

any update on this yet? lol how far have you gotten? or did you stop?

i just picked up Volume 2 at a yard sale for 25 cents lol...so now i have 2 and 5 (i think lol)....i need to pick up the others now lol

[SpidermanGeek]

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Volume 3.

It's actually very good right now, but I just haven't been giving myself the time to plow through the rest of this book. The third book really has that "Lord of the rings" feel to it, as the band of characters make their way to the Dark Tower through the post-apocalyptic world. It's like Mad Max meets Lord of the Rings meets The Dollars Trilogy.

I should read more on the bus ride to and from work, but it just makes me fall asleep, lol.

The third Hard Cover graphic novel (Dark Tower: Treachery) is already out, which I still need to get. I also haven't read the first 2 Graphic Novel volumes either.

After I get through volume 4 of the actual novels though, I'll have to start hunting for the final 3 books since I don't own those yet.

read while you're on the throne lol


i need to get to a used book store soon to buy the rest of those books, im getting close to the end of the book im reading now (tick tock, by Dean Koontz) and I need things to read lol

[SpidermanGeek]

I managaed to read a few more pages on the bus this morning, lol. I think I only have about 150 pages to go (it's a 500+ page book).

Roland, Eddie & Susannah are off to rescue Jake from a diseased old pedophile named Gasher as they're trying to make their way to Blain the Train in the city of Lud.

[SpidermanGeek]

Well, I started Book IV last week. I'm really lovin this series.

[French_Geek]

sweet :)

i really need to get book number 2 and 3 and the rest lol

[SpidermanGeek]

It's getting hood, I'm at the point where they survived teh ride in Blaine The train and they're now in an alternate Universe Topeka Kansas where there's a bit of "The Stand" cross over. Everyone in Topeka is dead as a result of Captain Tripps (The plague that wiped out the world in The Stand). The reason they're in Topeka now is that Roland's world is merging with other worlds because the Dark Tower is failing (The dark tower is like teh nexus of all realities).

lol...as ive stated before...i really need to get the other books.


maybe ill go to the library and see if they have them...lol
