    I'm stating the Dark Tower series all over again. It's been over a decade since I read the first few books. About halfway through Book 1. This should keep me busy for the rest of the year.

    Nice! I've read the series through twice. Will probably read again at some point, but I've got such a list to get to right now. :x

    Ditto. Plus, I never read the revised edition of the first book. Curious about that. But reading through it again is on my backburner ... I have way too many other books to get through first! I've read about 10 so far this year, including three King books, so I think I'm off to a good start. :D

    I've read through the whole DT series twice, will probably do it a 3rd time sometime in the next few years. I've been thinking of re-reading The Stand sometime this year. Outside of Stephen King I mostly read non-fiction and am slowly getting through my stack of books here. Looking forward to seeing what the Under the Dome TV series is like!

    21/30. Not bad. :) I haven't read any of the Dark Tower books either. I tried once, but I couldn't get into it. Not my style. Too much like the fantasy genre for me.
