I just finished Wizard and Glass. It made me so depressed. Stephen King is such a wonderful writer. He made me actually feel Roland's pain.
MykeTheBeardman
Pretty sure that's just McCree and Reaper from OW.
Syninfection
Meh wasn't impressed and Iv read better, in fact I found it aggravating to read
ImpeachNixon
I do not aim with my hand, he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye.
Ch3vali3r
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind.
barnwolf
I actually didn't like it that much. Too gritty, depressing and random for my taste.
FrecklesIRL
Real question: How scary is it? I like Steven King, but I can't handle scary.
FractalChainsaw
I can't really handle scary either and I'm on book 4 and loving it.
CriticalJudgementalElitistPrick
Just got a box of books back from the ex after 8.5 yrs. All King including my original volumes of Roland's journey.
LeftHandPanda
Really looking forward to the films. I like the approach that they are taking
ClassicallyForbidden
This is next on my reading list. I just finished It (that's the book entitled It).
QuetzalcoatlDemandsCaffeine
I remember starting to read this book in 1989. This story really is his masterpiece.
idrankshampoo
Literally started reading this yesterday

The time when they re just mindlessly wandering for like 4000pages tho..

I'm so incredibly hyped for the film.
mentaljake
Im halfway through the Dark Tower right now. I put off reading it for so long so I could get a background of it all from SK other novels.

Had to save this image, since the quote is in my bio. Love me some Stephen King!
fluger
Just reread this last month. Fucking awesome.

He completely jumped the shark by writing himself into the story line. Ruined an otherwise masterful story on par with The Stand.

Try and read all 7 books before next year's movie gives you spoilers.
Oddlane
such an amazing series!
cable001
One of my favorite series. Actually thought about picking it up since its been a couple years since I last listened.
I come back to it every year or so. Even after several years I find things that I missed. It's a real gem.

Just started watching Luther, man's got skills. I wonder how much of the books they'll include.
AgamemnonsMemes
I liked it but it was a hard read, the structure of the prose took its toll for long reading and it really didn't hook me like some others.
CoopDH
Try audio books. The voice actors/readers give it a new life. I admit that reading some passages were rough but listening is easy
Good point, worth a shot. I liked it enough i'd like to finish it.
Post is 1 yr old found in random and went to opvote it because great series and realized I already had. So here's to you OP
alexcarrie
Just finished Needful Things. Started reading Sun Dog, love how it's the same place.

I literally only just started reading this book. Im like 7 chapters in and a bit bored but youve convinced me to continue OP

It gets excellent the more you go. Once they introduced more characters, I couldn't put it down.
ratedarrrrrr
It ramps up along the way, especially the later books. First one has a lot of world building because it's a bit complex and weird at times.
Mysadventure
Hands down, this is the best first line I have ever read in a book.
And also the last...
LaivastonAntti
That line is immortal.
elppapple
Everyone says that.
Node1112
Personally I loved the start of the Martian.

For me it'll always be: 'Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive...' and 'It is a truth universally acknowledged...'

Indeed. Just make sure you use proper lifting technique to pick up the last one, wouldn't want to throw your back out.
IllychTortorovald
Audiobook helped with that
daveydwb
Try the uncut version of The Stand.
Touché.
HeWhoPours
Such a good book. Never read the cut version but I imagine the extra length was a big boost to it
jdraitt
How are your little toes doing?
The Waste Lands was the biggest wasnt it? Or Wizard and Glass?
Nah, pretty sure The Dark Tower is the biggest.
The Dark Tower, book 8. Easily over a thousand pages. Hardcover makes a convenient projectile.
ZackBonno
Wait, there are 8 books?
Typo, book 7. Altho there is a book "5-1/2" now I think. Wind Through the Keyhole.
trundlewheel
Yeah there was one he brought out a couple of years ago.. Fits in between 4 and 5 iirc
Oh damn! Now I'm gonna have to go back and reread them all to read that one
CanadianOneDollarCoin
Bigger than the wheel of time books?
WOT bk 4 is just over 1k pages, bit shorter. But total, WOT=11308 DKTWR=4300ish
Tower is how many books total?
7. And a half.
Nergaroth
