![]() ![]() Make sure to bookmark the HQ page for the schedule and links to all of the chapter discussions as they go live! Let's get into the Book 1- The Gunslinger (1982): The plan is to read a chapter a week, and each Tuesday we will meet to discuss major themes, motifs, and reactions. Nevertheless, I only remember bits and pieces of the debut entry so this will be quite a refresher. I would say college, girls, and looking for employment interfered with my search, whereas Roland would say I was weak and undisciplined. I first enjoyed The Gunslinger (1982) and The Drawing of the Three (1987) in the late 1980s, but admittedly didn’t have the stamina then needed to finish the Dark Tower journey. ![]() Either devoted enthusiasts were on the path or knew someone so engaged. Long before avid readers were signing up with Hogwarts or wandering about the countryside walking off cliffs for Pokémon Go, there was an obsession to reach the Dark Tower. *Remember: While this is a reread, please avoid spoilers in the comments. Let’s see if this equal parts Western, mystery, horror, science fiction, and fantasy epic still packs a punch. It’s been 38 years since Roland’s quest began in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and four years since the last Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole (2012). Thank you for joining me on a reread of what Stephen King has called his magnum opus, The Dark Tower series featuring Roland of Gilead, the gunslinger. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was both an avid reader and writer: "I come from a family of writers, and so have always (mistakenly) believed that spending hours in front of the computer every day, mulling over the difference between 'chortling: and 'chuckling' is normal.

In 1930, she traveled to Istanbul where she met her second husband, the archaeologist Max Mallowan. The novel features the iconic detective Hercule Poirot, whom Christie based in part on Belgian soldiers she treated as a nurse in Torquay. She published her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920. At the beginning of World War I, she married an army officer named Archibald Christie, but her husband’s infidelity eventually led to their divorce. She also displayed an early talent for writing and finished her first novel in 1911, though she was unable to find a publisher for it. Educated both at home and at school in Paris, she grew into a voracious reader. ![]() Although her father died in 1901, she had a happy childhood.

Colleagues and customers become suspects, secrets are uncovered. When a young woman is attacked walking home from her local supermarket, Bea Jordan, a smart but unfulfilled checkout girl, is determined to investigate. ![]() ![]() Mortimer gives us statistics on how many books were being published and the results are startling. People were reading-even women-and while much of what was available to them were religious tracts, there began to be something more as the period (1550-1600) wore on. On the pro side, world-wide exploration was in its infancy, and it must have been thrilling to discover new products coming in from overseas, changing the way people thought about their own culture. Cleanliness and sanitation were two of the most off-putting descriptions Mortimer shares, but we also shrink at “medical care” and the somewhat arbitrary nature of punishment and death. By carefully going through all the contingencies of leadership, life, and labor, he shows us that life was difficult at best-the early, and not quite thought-out beginning of city living. We may, for instance, subscribe to the notion that Elizabethan England was a period of the flowering of art and language, and it was…to a point. Mortimer expects us to have pre-conceived notions and to develop questions as we read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His sense of humor and level of detail bridges any gaps in understanding why Elizabethan England may not be a place we would want to live.
