i began them about a month ago. i am half way through the 4th one now and i am hooked. these books are very addictive and they all connect with King's other books. anyone else like to talk about them? anyone read them all?

My grandpa convinced me to start reading them so I am going to start sometime next week. All of king's books are great but I personally like The Stand and Desperation (which is being created into a movie..)

yeah desperation is real good. i has a "brother" book called regulators, also very good. read these dark tower books chong. they are amazing. they are real long, but worth every second.

hmm.... well I dont see exactly how you can make that book into a made for t.v. movie. It had some pretty graphic scenes in it. If they cut those out it will take away from just how good that book was. I personally like the regulators more. People just randomly getting taken out with shotguns and people driving by... how can you beat that. (may not be exactly how it went i read it in 7th grade.. I cant spell worth a hoot but reading is a hobby for me)

I think I read one of those books a long time ago. Are they about a cowboy? I read so much at work that I don't do a lot of pleasure reading anymore.
