    The Dark Tower

    Anybody read this book series by Stephen King?

    He is getting ready to release the 5th book of 7 in the series with the 6th in June 2004 and the 7th in November 2004.

    I compare these books with LOTR.

    EDIT: I should clarify that I never read LOTR books, just saw the movies and think they are the best movies I've ever seen next to Braveheart.

    I read books 1 and 2. Didn't know there was going to be more.

    I read them ages ago.

      Read all the ones that have come out. They are the only books I've truly enjoyed from King.

          Yup, I read them. Excellent books. Storytelling at it's finest. I can't believe he's finally going to finish the series. Took him long enough.

          "Eyes of the Dragon" is also excellent. Proves that King really is a great writer, not the trash novelist most people peg him as.

            I forgot about Eyes of the Dragon. Definitely another excellent book.

                Well duhh

                I'm actually a fairly big King fan. I've read probably 90% of his books. The Dark Tower and Eyes of the Dragon are just his best work, in my opinion.

                I even read "It" twice! Once of those times I made it through all 1200ish pages in about 36 hours. It really hooks you into the story.
