Mmmmmmmmmm...kay. Here's one that may be easy:
Which was the first non-DT King work to be referenced in a DT book, and where does it appear? [I'm asking for an approximation only, not book/chapter/verse -- and I'm taking the DT books in order of publish date, not the flashbacks/timeplay that occus within the fabric of the story]

for some reason i keep thinking it was even earlier, in The Drawing of the Three or maybe even The Gunslinger...
something keeps niggling in my head that was alluded to or said while Roland was in that town...where he slept with that woman...
sheesh...i'm pretty sure i'm gonna have to read the damn books again to participate in this game!!!

i found that part about the ugh!
that whole discription of jake laying in the street makes ya queasy!!
also, i thought of the first reference i can think of, i'm sure this is what first made me START looking for connections to other King stories in the DT books.
jake's name. it's jake chambers.
same as another of King's main characters. the disaffected but brilliant Chris Chambers in The Body.
also you can't miss the young boy/protector adult male relationship between Roland and Jake is very similar to Ben Mears and Mark Petrie in Salem's Lot...which story, as we know, figures heavily later in the series.
i thought what DW's looking for might be found at The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind (The Wastelands) , but i've checked and come up with nothing.
i'm going to peruse further.
i must know!!!

Luci pegged what I was thinking of. 'John Chambers' is the boy's name but he says 'You can call me Jake.'
As you all probably know much better than I, The Gunslinger is one of King's earliest-started and slowest-to-write works, so it was percolating through his head when he was writing other stories like the Shining, 'Salem's Lot, and the Stand [or so he says in the Afterword of The Gunslinger].
Can anyone locate and throw up a list of his books in order of publish dates, or better yet, their writing dates?
I like the story of DT, but I'm positively fascinated by the time-sequence and the intermingling of his other stories into it.

(I thought you meant where a character actually talks about a King book, in the story DW, and I'm sure that Eddie mentions it, (although Lucimay is right...in tDotT), something like..."Like in that damn book by King..."
Anyway, I'll wait for Guns to tell me if I was right before posting a question.

"I use my gun whenever kindness fails"
but you guys...guess what...this "perusing" to find the first diRECT reference has lead to me scanning through each chapter of The Gunslinger,
scanning more meticulously through and damn near re-reading The Drawing of the Three, especially the drawing of Eddie because i think what Avatar obviously thinks, that Eddie mentions something about King or a King story....and then, actually re-reading The Wastelands (no internetz for all day yesterday!!) and i'm up to Lud and not quite to Tick Tock Man and still no DIRECT reference. i'm thinking maybe there's no actual DIRECT reference to other King stories until end of Wastelands or possibly even Wizard & Glass!!
(ah these small obsessions )
