    On another thread wherein Mt. T saves Los Angeles from the WTS, the following comment was made:

    and for our next attraction, 'Escape from the Watchtower'

    Which reminds me ... anyone else get the heebie jeebies when reading books from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series? I always think about the WTS when I've read those books, even though I've been away from more than 20 years.

    I've read all of them recently - great series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been out of the WTBTS for about 5 yrs now. They were never that powerful. In the followers minds, perhaps........but "old long, tall and ugly" wouldn't have been in a cult.

    No way!

    Looking forward to the next installment - what kind of baby is Savannah going to have, eh? eh?

    That's interesting Dan-O. I'm a big King fan myself, it's been a while since I read the series ... in what ways were you reminded of WTS? I have long wondered if King has a hate-on for JW, btw.

    It's the whole thing with the tower at the center of all worlds.

    The way she was 'sleepwalking' on Wolves of the Calla ... I think her baby is going to cause them all a lot of trouble.

    You'll enjoy it, TR. I sure liked it better than Wizard & Glass.

    I still miss Blaine the Mono, though.

    Stephen King lives about 1 mile from my home here in Bangor Maine USA.

    Sometimes we see him out and about.[ he's a regular guy ]

    yes, I noted the Tower thing as well. Time to go back a re-read so I can fully enjoy the latest book (I confess, haven't read it yet !)
