Reddit mentions of The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger (1)

This is from the Dark Tower book series, widely regarded as Stephen King's magnum opus. I cannot recommend it enough. The first book is called The Gunslinger.

Also, please don't judge the series based on The Dark Tower movie that came out a short while back. I promise it is infinitely better than that.

The gunslinger reaches across the couch as he shakes his head. Because he's wrong, he realizes. Parcells wouldn't bash Julian for the arm-reach, even though it was an odd, lame-looking thing. Bill thinks it might even be possible that Parcells might grunt some word of compliment - such a rarity that the player to whom it happened hardly ever knew how to respond; he was left gaping like a fish pulled from cook's barrel.

So Belichick shook /u/jedelman11 's hand.

All together now:

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Rubicon

Adventures of Tin Tin, Vol. 7

The Gunslinger

Thanks! I'll check these out... and maybe I'll reread the Dark Tower series, so friggin' great.

Amazon links:

Stephen King's Dark Tower Series

Patrick Rothfuss's Name of the Wind (Kingkiller Chronicles)

Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards series

(yeah, these are smile.amazon.com links... if you aren't already supporting some organization with your Amazon purchases, how about my kid's school's PTA?)

That copy came out like a decade ago when the book was released. The 2016 Scribner releases with the movie tie-in covers don't have a physical copy of books 5-7 and TWTTK available yet as far as I know, even though the Kindle versions have the new covers. According to this post, Scribner plans on releasing a matching set of all the books within the next 6 months or so.

Ok, sorry it took so long, but maybe try Spice and Wolf light novels, Konosuba, Death March to a Parallel World, and No game no life.

If the manga light novels aren't your style, then perhaps The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, or The Passage by Justin Cronin.

Cully, get thee to a bookstore (or Amazon, whatever) and pick up the Dark Tower series by Stephen King! You'll find phrases, sayings, and words like this all throughout the series (and plenty of them are actual words, they are just rarely heard or seen nowadays).

I REALLY suggest getting the revised editions that King released, especially with the first book, The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger.
