the first one was published in five instalments in 1982 I am 28 so I was a little older before I actually read it the first time, but every since then I have been hooked, and have/had every book until my mom got them [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

it is kind of a sci-fi style book, about a guy who is from another world, and he is fighting bad guys (go figure) and before long, people from this world are brought over on the brink of death, or having a bad life to help fight the enemy, been a few years since I read one, but it is pretty good to read, do a search on the dark tower to learn a little more

Have read quite a few Stephen King books (quite a few = a ton) but could never bring myself to read that series, worth reading I assume?
