Favorite Location in the series


I was just wondering what parts of mid world were your favorites in the series. Mine is definitely the Westren Sea. Its just a dark, ominous surreal, alien beach. And the lobtrosites are so creepy and evil. Its while I love book 2. I love imagining this dark place while Roland struggles with "serious problems" haha what are your guy's faves? Lud? Tull? Mohaine?

The western sea was pretty cool, I enjoyed when Roland came thru to our world, how he was amazed at the amount of ammo or medicine or paper was available to him.

Speaking of drugs from my favorite The Dark Tower novel...recently, I was on a regimen of cephalexin (Keflex) and found its side effects to be rather mild compared to how they were described in The Drawing of the Three.

My favorite location is the Falls of the Hounds in the Wastelands (though in the book Wizard and Glass.) There's just something awesome about them. And I mean that there's something about them that inspires awe. You know, awesome.

The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.

I dont remember the name but I really liked the city where they meet the tick tock man. An old abandoned post apocolyptic NY? Awesome, and blain was awesome too.

Lud- the city of Lud was the name

Am I the only River Crossing fan? It wasn't so much the location, but what happened there. I mean, the entire ka-tet was there, and happy. They were among friends, well fed and all of them had a reason to smile. Roland was regarded and treated as gunslingers should have been before the world moved on, and he behaved the way a gunslinger would have before the world moved on. And despite the fact the town was only inhabited by old people, there was a secret place that was still beautiful behind the crumbled façade. That was the part of the book that really drove home for me what gunslingers were supposed to be. That was where I saw the knight instead of the cowboy, and for me it was a very romantic moment in their journey.

Yeah the River Crossing part always made me hungrey with all the food. And whenever I drink Angry Orchard I pretend that it is the Apple beer that they drink in river crossing( the stuff that Roland tell's Jake to go easy on) hahaha I'm a nerd like that.

Shardik’s woods. After the craziness of the drawings, it’s nice to see the ka-tet not trying to kill each other. I love the lessons that Roland gives to both Eddie and Susannah. And then there’s the portal, and the finding of the beam. I got absolute chills the first time Roland drew the circle to show where all the guardians are. And The Tower in the middle
