Welcome to Litsy!

The journey to the dark tower begins ❤

The gunslinger is written in a more poetic style. The beginning strives to set the scene, and you can get lost reading it. As the story progresses though it goes back to that familiar Stephen King writing.It is a interesting beginning to the dynamic of the man in black and Roland. One of my favorite dark tower books. If you don‘t read the rest I would say to give this one a try.

Of course Dobby decides to use Stephen King books as a pillow. It is kind of fitting since he was almost named King (after the author). Yep there is no question...he is my cat lol.

Thought i would start this one before getting some sleep. Accompanied by my favourite companion, Rambo who is already drifting off to the land of nod.

“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”

Catching up with these past reviews.. And i just love how the sun filtered oh so nicely through the curtains that i just had to take this pic.

Seriously though, the curiosity of how this series goes on is gonna bother me until I can read the next one...

*passively aggressively shaking my first at him*

Some of the lyrics to #sofaraway reminded me of Roland's travels in this book.

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day28 ##CarryOnMyWaywardSon This Song has always reminded me of Roland Deschain in his never ending battle against The Man In Black. A man that has lost everything to this including his whole world & everyone he knew & then must relearn to be with others when his ka-tet arrives. I see him as a Sean Penn type figure, wrinkled clothes,dusty boots & hat with a heavy gun belt & wearing his suffering on his face. Carry on wayward son.

First book complete in my Dark Tower re-read with @TheNextBook . A lot of people loathe this book and I have never understood why. It's not my favorite in the series but I enjoy the backstory we get on Roland. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I love any excuse to post a pic of Idris Elba 😉

Ready to start this re-read with @TheNextBook - one book per month. Join us if you like! #thedarktower

A very methodical character whose story bounces from past to present. A good read, looking forward to reading the rest.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

One of my favorite book openings ever. I may need to re-read The Gunslinger soon. I wasn't crazy about the movie though 😞

I‘m finally diving in to the world of The Dark Tower😬. I enjoyed this more than I though I would, for some reason I‘ve started and stopped with this one many times. Definitely a good read and now I‘m ready to head to The Drawing of the Three!

Came in 3 shy of my goal. Gonna have to try harder next year. Happy new year

Haven't read a Stephen King novel in 20 years. Dark Tower series has been recommended to me by 4 friends so...here goes. Let's follow the man in black.

We had so much fun looking back over our year to choose some of our favorite Unabridged Shorts to share with you! My personal favorite--because I'm a movie and TV fiend!--is our episode considering book-to-screen adaptations. What are your favorite adaptations? Or (even better!) your LEAST favorites?

I had a really hard time getting into this one. I‘ve heard so many great things about the series. It took me forever to read this one so I‘m not sure if I‘ll get to the rest of the series. I may try again soon.

There tends to be #gunshot when The Gunslinger is in town.

I put off reading The Dark Tower series for years because people who love his horror novels (like me) seem to really not love the DT series. I picked this up on a whim and... I really enjoyed it. It does lag in places and does contain a lot of those SK problematic themes, but he has a way of keeping you guessing. I‘ll be reading this whole series in 2019!

This came in today. I love SK but I‘ve never really been that interested in reading The Dark Tower series. Caught a wild moment and decided to at least give it a try

Finally some sun peeking through these hurricane clouds! Gotta sit by the window cuz the power is out 😞

I‘m sure I‘m the grander scheme it‘s great, but for the intro I found it a bit slow.

Gave in and got The Gunslinger

The inner monologue and pace of the book makes it worth it. Roland Deschain (The Gunslinger) is cold and calulated, this chilling inner monologe is what makes the book stand out. The secondary characters in the book are pretty bland. The villain has alot of build up but not alot of memorable traits. The fighting and flashbacks save this book from being a miserable Journey. A good quick read, recommend for flights or traveling. 7/10

The beginning of a absolutely biblical journey🖤

If you've never read this series, what are you waiting for? It's the best thing a reader can read. 😍

I've heard so many rave reviews about this over the years, I was prepared to dislike it. The reality is, it's one of my favorite King novels so far. It's the perfect use of his very descriptive style. It's a quick and enthralling read. A wonderful setup for what I imagine will be a sprawling take. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next in the series.

Today‘s episode of @unabridgedpod is short but sweet. Listen to us awkwardly work our way through round 3 of the #litchat game from @bookriot. “Today‘s question: If you could join a friend group from any book, which one would you choose?”
****
Which would you choose?

I started reading this 20 some years ago and never finished. It was around the time I stopped seriously reading King. I'm slowly working my way through his works now and I'm pretty excited to be on this one.

This was awesome and I can‘t wait to get to the second one. I wish I had read the newer expanded version because I‘m not entirely sure I understood it all, but it was a fun ride.

“I never grew up all at once. I did it one place and another along the way.”

I‘ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially in relation to not having many people left in my life who knew me when I was young. At some point I began to feel like that person I was before certain events happened is just...lost.

#thegunslinger #thedarktower #stephenking

This is my third read and the first after completing the series and I loved it so much more than the first two times. A great setup to the massive adventure the last Gunslinger is about to undertake.

Thanks to the #EpicKatetRead buddy read for the chance to return to the Dark Tower.

#EpicKaTetRead #thedarktowerchapteraweek I finally caught up & finished it! If it hadn‘t been for the group, I don‘t know that I would‘ve pushed through on my own, so I‘m glad I‘m participating. Really enjoyed the last few sections, but was less fond of the first two.

#EpicKaTetRead #TheDarkTowerChapterAWeek

Last chapter. Sitting down to finish this first book off now. I reeeeeeeally liked this first one a lot more then I remembered. Maybe it's knowing what's in store this time through that helped?

Either way, first one down. I'm having a blast reading these again. Thanks for organizing it all @MinDea @TricksyTails. 🤘🤘

I might have read ahead and finished this #buddyread early.

I have mixed feelings as a first-year reader, but I have heard a lot of people say this is set-up for the next book(s) which reassures me. It's well-written, which I expect from King, but not a lot happens either personally or plot-wise. And I find the protagonist pretty unsympathetic, especially towards the end of the book.

However, there have been some interesting peeks into past 👇

I thought this was just okay, definitely weird. The last chapter, The Gunslinger and the Dark Man intrigued me the most and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series! #EpicKaTetRead #TheDarkToweChapterAWeek @TricksyTails @MinDea

Hotel reading. Damn this book is good.
