I would suggest Amazon.com. They have almost anything you could ever want in a book. I bought mine from a bookstore in San Dimas California--now it is lost forever, eaten by varmints along with many many books.... :furious:

Yep, that's it.:lol:
What's up with that? I'd only heard of C.S. Lewis' Dark Tower and then Stephen King brings out all these books. Are they similar in any way?

Amazon has 170 of previews for Dark Tower (sounds like a mistake to me). :shocked:

Stephen King's version was inspired by the same poem (Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came) but was also inspired by JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Good the Bad and the Ugly. There are about seven books and they are under dark fantasy. I once tried to read the first book but found it too disturbing (more than other book by King that I read) but he revised it apparently and I'd like to check out the revised edition and maybe the whole series; I'm just building up courage to do it sometime.

Today I went to IKEA and hid in the wardrobes, and every time someone opened the doors I welcomed them to Narnia!!

I never found Stephen King that scary. Horrendously dark and disturbing, yes, but not scary. Never associate Stephen King with the movie adaptations (except maybe the movies The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, published as Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption) because they tend to be overly terrible. Read a book like The Dead Zone and your perception of "average Stephen King fare" might change.

That said, his books can be sometimes overly perverse too. :grin:
