Roland is my Fav but Cuthbert is a close second.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

LOL!! Sheemie was cool!! I went with Roland too. But I love them all. Callahan is rapidly running a close second with me, not really sure why. But I re-read Salem's Lot, then went back to Calla and re-re-read his "tale". And I'm so worried about Suze!! Where did she go?? Back to the days of Aurther Eld??? grrrrrrrr...June seems such a long way off!!
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

and I voted for Oy
and here is a short plot desription of the book:
Spoiler
The penultimate volume in The Dark Tower series, Song of Susannah is a pivotal installment in the most anticipated series of publications in Stephen King's legendary career.
As Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus draws to its electrifying conclusion, his hero, Roland Deschain, discovers the key to the quest that defines his life.
Susannah Dean, her body taken over by a demon-mother named Mia, has used the power of Black Thirteen to transport out of Calla Bryn Sturgis to New York City in the summer of 1999, so that she can give birth to her "chap". While Jake, Father Callahan, and Oy try to break Susannah's date with destiny at the Dixie Pig on Lexington and 63rd, Roland and Eddie use "the persistence of magic" to get to East Stoneham, Maine in the summer of 1977. It is a frightful world at they walk in on. For one thing, it is real, and the bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be as shocked by them as they are by him.
Driven by revelation and suspense on these two fronts, Song of Susannah continues the The Dark Tower saga from Wolves of the Calla; its dual climaxes create a positively distressing imperative to move on to the quest's conclusion. King's legions of ardent readers will again relish the links between The Dark Tower universe and his other book's - and delight in the unfolding denouement of his magnificent serial epic.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
