Stephen King's Gunslinger series - worth it or no?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Poufe:
Just to add to what everyone else has been saying. Yes, I've herd that the Dark Tower series is some of his best work. Though I do not know much considering I've only read The Stand and Christine so far. I am in love with Stephen King novel and plan on reading the Dark Tower series after a finish a few more of his novels. If you get there before I do tell me about them, i've herd nothing but wonderful things from other people though.

Make sure you read...

The Eyes of the Dragon (One of my favorites, and a very good story that centers on Flagg as the villian)
IT
The Talisman
Black House
Hearts in Atlantis
Insomnia
Deloris Claiborne

Those are some of the books that added a great amount to the... web I guess, of the Dark Tower stories. They also tend to have little bits in them that help you understand how things work in the world of The Dark Tower. Of course once you've read 2 or 3 f the Dark Tower books you'll also start noticing LOTS of little things from the other books that tie in. It's really amazing.

Scandanavian War Machine:
if youre familiar with more than 10% of stephen king's work then you are cosmically obligated to read The Dark Tower series.

Cartilage Head:
Ackblom, you forgot The Stand.

fozmo:
To reiterate for the bajillionth time:

READ THEM

and on the subject of waiting to read them: I started just as the 6th one (Song of Susannah) came out, so by the time I finished them all, the last one was out and just old enough to have a copy put in the used bookstore at the library. $3 for a $30 book. It's a wonderful feeling.

Edit: Also note icon. Facepalm. How'd I forget that?
