I too have seen that birdandbear! I fear for Susannah, but I fear more for our friend Eddie.

Anybody else think its about time some central characters started to die off?
Not that I want that, but I think its coming.

A mere three weeks, fellow Tower questers! Are we going to do a reading group, or just disappear for a few days while we finish it. I think instituing a policy of non-spoling will be important.

I got my copy of Wolves at Wal-Mart for thirty percent off. I'm hoping they carry Song of Susannah, too.
It's a good thing King and Donald M. Grant don't know what they COULD charge me for a copy.

STAVE: Commala-come-come
There's a young man with a gun.
Young man lost his honey
When she took it on the run.
RESPONSE: Commala-come-one!
She took it on the run!
Left her baby lonely but
Her baby ain't done.

I'm debating whether to read it or not. Is it going to make the wait even more excruciating?

Oh just read it already!!!!! You know you'll get weak and read it eventually... truth be known there isn't much there except one event that is a pretty big deal.

No, I'm still fighting the urge, for fear it will only make the wait worse.

You speak true. Once the book is out, do you want to do a chapter by chapter discussion or wait until all have read?

Well, it's only a couple more weeks of wait.
Not like Runes which is MONTHS away!!

If the book is 400 pages, I estimate it will take me four or five days to read. I tend to savor the Dark Tower. So I will avoid reading discussions prior to about June 15, for fear of spoilers, even inadvertent ones.
