Dark Tower series is my favorite set of books of all time.  I would love to discuss it with you Mandler if you ever have some free time.

Before you start the series and about halfway between the books there are at least a dozen other books/stories that tie into the saga that you need to read to GRASP the almighty power of the Dark Tower.

danbury??  it took me about a year and a half to read the whole thing, but I loved it.

I felt a little cheated by the end, but at the same time it couldn\'t have happened any other way- ka is a wheel

Just finished this one: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
It was a good read. Interesting characters and a well written translation from the Spanish.
Even Opera Singers love "The Breakfast!" - la pace fuori

I just finsihed reading the Bachman Books [Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, The Running Man] which were the books/novels that Stephen King wrote under his psuedo (?) name. Now I\'m in the middle of Thinner. My mind is ate ease here at work when I can read Stephen King and visit the deep dark corners of a mastermind physco\'s mind.

I love Stephen King, classic american author the Dark Tower series is an AMAZING series of books

btw: an author\'s fake name = pseudonym

I was reading one of the Bachman books but I couldn\'t quite get into it. I think it was Regulators
