... I love the Dark Tower series, Roland is the man!
http://www.stephenking.com/DarkTower/...that comment makes me wanna ask ya out on a date and not because you could possibly be a hottie....i've met a fello dark tower fan
...although the hottie part would surely help.
i hope you had the chance the read the "original" gunslinger...for he changed it....post accident...Roland is a different much more ruthless man in the original...Stephen K changed post accident and it reflects in the books on ward from "wizard and glass" (my favourite)
i still wanna know what happened to Rhea and if young Roland ever got his revenge .....i'm always afraid or rereading that one....much as i love it...its a nostalgic read...and i consider that to be the worst of all emotions......which is why i find dickens to to be so sadly delicious....its a love hate thing...
The guns were empty and they boiled at him, transmogrified into an Eye and a Hand, and he stood, screaming and reloading, his mind far away and absent, letting his hands do their reloading trick. Could he hold up a hand, tell them he had spent a thousand years learning this trick and others, tell them of the guns and the blood that had blessed them? Not with his mouth. But his hands could speak their own tale. the gunslinger
"Kill if you will, but command me nothing!" the gunslinger roared. "You have forgotten the faces of those who made you! Now either kill us or be silent and listen to me, Roland of Gilead, son of Steven, gunslinger, and lord of ancient lands! I have not come across all the miles and all the years to listen to your childish prating! Do you understand? Now you will listen to ME!" wizard and glass
the only few books i hold in such high reverance are Wuthering heights and The mayor of castabridge..
