The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

At Christmas I received some clothes, gift certificates, a watch, and other little things that I love.  My favorite gifts that I received were the books I was hoping to get ;P

By the King.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King...as you can see up there.  

I was so excited when I opened the box that contained these books.  I can thank my sister from Texas for that.  I never really knew much about this series until recently.  I kept hearing references to the story and I got curious what they were referring to.  

Finally, on some random forums for comic books, sci fi stories, and even just films, I found people talking about Stephen King's "The Dark Tower".  Eventually, I found out that it was more than one book, but a whole series that King has been writing since the 1970's.  King refers to it as his "magnum opus"

Since the 70's, this story continues on 8 books.  I think a 9th is on the way.  I've finished the first book recently and have started the 2nd book.  It's very immersive and I easily get lost in the world that Stephen King has created.

It's got cowboys, magic, and different dimensions (from what I can gather so far).  It's so good.

I plan on finishing all the books this year before the film premieres.  You read that right.

I finally get to be a book snob.
