I was thinking about the dark tower series myself, I have the 2nd one so far, but not the first, and I have this thing where I can't read 2 before 1, or 3 before 2...etc, is the series any good? seems a bit more "adventure" than standard king books...

I would say more fantasy, but definitely different than the usual King stuff. And DON'T read 2 before 1. It won't even make sense.

You could put the dead lights on screen with today's effects in all it's size and glory... after all, you do get a pretty accurate description of it from the book... and it's really very simple in it's form, just unimainably high and wide... and if it wasn't for the movie's serious ways but still kiddish philosophies to drag it down, you could make it cult without a doubt. Or maybe you could even with that.

I don't remember that turtle much... if i remember correctly, he dies on choking in his own farts, or that is at least how It jokes...

That is so true. These books really sort of follow the Beam, and if you miss the Beam....you won't get to the Dark Tower, as a matter of fact, you'll end up in the Thinny. I do encourage reading them, though. They are indeed fantasy, but there are some really creepy parts.

I love the lobster-monsters in the first books.

...Beam ...Thinny?

More inside Dark tower jokes? Like saying "you want a ballon?" to someone who hasn't read It yet? :)

SPOILER

I HATE the lobster monsters. I was so PISSED off when they took Roland's fingers. I mean, he's a gunslinger...and they took his fingers. Still makes me sad. I'm still on the third book.
