No but really do correct me, my girlfriend really hates how bad i am at spelling!

[Tito_Villa]

Yeah i have a load but stopped collecting the individual copies after Treachery, it wasn't easy collecting them from the UK, but i keep my eyes open for deals on the HC copies

I love the DT comics.
They're not King, don't read as King does, but they're a lot of fun.
I didn't buy the individual comics, just the collections.
Can't wait for the upcoming super-collection (or whatever it's called)

Apparently many people have a hard time with The Gunslinger.
Unfortunately, this seems to be enough reason to quit reading this amazing series.
Don't! If you like King -and even if you don't- it's an absolute must-read series, containing of the best, most fancyful fantasy ever written.

I'll give the other books a chance.

My favorite, by far, is Wizard and Glass. I've always loved coming of age stories, and King does them especially well (It and The Body). I enjoyed getting the back story and seeing the world before it "moved on", but the story of Roland and Susan is what truly captured me.

Ditto this, X 10. So of course my vote went for Wizard and Glass. I loved learing more about Cuthbert and Alain and the story of Roland and Susan. Such a great story. Second place would be The Wastelands. Not sure how the others would sort out other than Song of Susannah being last. I didn't like the character of Susannah (or Detta, or Odetta, or Mia, or whoever else King tried to cram into one person--bleah) at all. And unlike some others here, I loved the ending, which saved The Dark Tower (book VII) which had gotten seriously off track with Mordred and Dandelo and the like.

[Tito_Villa]

Yes same with me, some of it was just over described and i was even tempted to skim read parts!

I was fine with the Gunslinger, even read his changed version that came with Little Sisters, but the Drawing of the Three was a little tough for me at times.
