![]() ![]() ![]() By that time, I had reread the first three Dark Tower books numerous times and loved them deeply, particularly The Waste Lands, which filled me with a yearning to be Jake Chambers that I doubt any piece of fiction has matched. That is the right of every little dumbass. But something had me hooked enough to ignore what I didn’t get or pretend I was on top of things and push on regardless. Speaking just for myself, I understood very little of what was going on. ![]() Not because of their adult content really, but because they grow so complicated so quickly and push so far past what a kid that young can comprehend. I’m not sure how much business a ten year old has reading these books. Probably that same year, or maybe late the year before, I must have read the first two. I can remember reading the third book, The Waste Lands, almost as soon as it was released (I had to wait until my mom finished it before I could get there), and that was when I was ten. It only requires mild exaggeration to claim that I grew up with Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Second of all: I realize we’re just a little past ten years along the beam. ![]()
