I’m excited about everything Stephen King. When my mother was in the hospital shortly before she passed, she asked my dad to bring her a book. He took her some Ann Rice something. When I saw what she was reading I promptly pulled my very well worn copy of “Imsomnia” out of my purse and said this is what you need to be reading. It wasn’t until I read “The Talisman” that I got interested in all things “Dark Tower”. I’ve read the series four times, my husband knows not to mess with me when I’m with my gunslingers.
I also like the fact that Stephen King really seems to like my name.

Really excited about the 8th Dark Tower book. Let’s just hope it’s more Book 2 than Book 4, if you know what I mean

I’ve had the urge a lot since I finished them. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to bring myself to do it yet simply because I have so many other things on my to-read list that I want to get through before I rework my way through old favorites.

Me, too. I haven’t had a lot of time to read it, but when I do, I get sucked in more than I expected to. It took me a while to get into Duma Key, but once I did, I loved it. Under the Dome never felt that way; I immediately connected with it.

You should most definitely finish the Dark Tower series. It’s fantastic. Depending on where and why you stopped, there are a lot of ups and downs, but in the end, it’s a wonderfully complete (and literary!) narrative when taken as a whole. I think The Wind Through the Keyhole can only enhance that.

Wow, hadn’t heard that, it should be quite interesting. I’ve been a big King fan for years and recently had the urge to start the series over again from the beginning. Unfortunately, I think I had given my first three volumes to my mother which have since been lost.

I’ve been deeply immersed in his new one Under the Dome for the last couple of weeks, in between my review reading. It’s a great flashback to his old style of writing and great fun. I haven’t finished the Dark Tower series yet, though I own them all. It’s not really my favorite, though I love most of his works. Very excited to see a Shining sequel, though! Thanks for the info!
