Day 6 - Fav. creature/beast/hybrid.


First thought: Oy. But Oy’s people, not a creature/beast/hybrid. So that being the case, I’d have to say the lobstrosities. *shudders* Face it, those things are freaky.

Day 5 - Dream cast for Roland.

The obvious answer is, of course, Clint Eastwood. So no. Instead, I’d go with Neil McDonough. When I watched Tin Man a few years back, as soon as he showed up, my first thought was, “Well, we now have Roland Deschain.”

Dark Tower 38 Day Challenge Day 3 and 4

Computer went wonky on me yesterday, so two entries today :)

Day 3 - Favorite antagonist and why

Randall mother-luvin’ Flagg, hands down. Yeah, he gets a completely weak ending of things, but the man (or whatever type of entity he is) is a total BAMF. His little chat with the Tik-Tok man at the end of Book 3 still brings a smile to my face.

Day 4 - Fav. original ka-tet member

For the same reason I love Eddie, I’m going to have to go with Cuthbert. His complete lack of seriousness 99% of the time is so needed to balance out Roland. And then when he takes Roland to town for almost screwing everything up? That’s a boy who knows the face of his father.

Dark Tower Challenge Day 1

Day 1 - How did you get into The Dark Tower?

I must have started reading Stephen King stuff in 7th or 8th grade, not sure when. Early enough that I do remember reading the original version of The Stand during recess one day in 8th grade. So there I was, working my way through all of his stuff, grabbing a fresh book off the library shelf each visit. And then one day, The Gunslinger was the next book and before you know it, I’m hooked.
