![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
