The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King

Just moved so its been awhile since I could post, so to see this particular subject excites me. Before I get into the Dark Tower series, if you will allow me to digress for moment it would be appreciated. I, like everyone in the late seventies and eighties knew who Steven King was but never "really" read him. After pursuing writing and filmmaking for years, I truly embraced it around "99" "00". At this time I decided to stop looking at film and started looking at literature. Not just the classics but contemparary as well. Of course this lead me to King. In King I found many of the same themes I was exploring, it all clicked. Upon picking up what was to be King's magnum opus "The Dark Tower" that since of "clicking" not only continued but overtook me. King was doing what I've always wanted to do and that is, blend genres. At this point I am some what remiss to continue without heading into extreme spoiler territory. But needless to say whether or not Stephen King ultimately succeeded with this saga. He still manged to blend different genres successfully. I would love to continue my return to these forums by finding away to discuss this particullar opus thourohgly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
