Started reading the Dark Tower series

Best decision I've made in a long time, fam. Halfway done with book I. WHY IS IT SO ADDICTING?

I love how strange the language is. It almost reminds me of A Clockwork Orange with its own slang and lingo.

I read the first one, and it gave me weird feels when they were in the mines

Excellent series, oh my god. It gets so surreal and so good.

It's funny, because I read online that some people said the first entry is the hardest to get through; I think it's brilliant.

Not there yet. I got feels when Roland had to mow down everyone in Tull. And when he slept with Alice; felt bad for her and hoped she'd live.

Really? He literally massacred an entire town because the man in black turned them against him.

Spoiler

You want to know about Death

I left him a word. That word is

Nineteen

If you say it to him his mind will
be opened. He will tell you what lies
beyond. He will tell you what he saw.

The word is Nineteen.

Knowing will drive you mad. But
sooner or later you will ask. You
won't be able to help yourself.

Have a nice day!
--Walter O'Dim

P.S. The word is Nineteen.

You will try to forget but sooner or
later it will come out of your
mouth like vomit.

Nineteen

This letter gave me so many chills

Me too. The man in black is pure, cunning evil. Reminds me of Randall Flagg from the Stand.

Well I think it's obvious they are both the devil, and can encompass multiple worlds.

I don't want to spoil anything for you, but it's great that you're reading into the books in this way. Stephen King is one of the best writers of all time.

RomanGladiator · August 20, 2016, 07:14:49 PM

Just finished, holy shit my mind was blown when the man in black was explaining the universe to Roland; the whole last chapter really. I NEED to get The Drawing of the Three tomorrow ASAP.
