Yep, the second is a bit bigger than the first and most of the others each are approximately double the length. But it's worth taking your time with it and let yourself sink into the story. Don't rush it.

First time I read it it felt like a Quentin Tarantino meets Sergio Leone screenplay as written by Timothy Leary.

As Horrorfan said some of those later books are 700-800+ pages, but trust me you won't mind by then. The story will have you reeled in and you'll be wishing the books were longer, I know I did, that's how into it I was.

I might have to return to the Gunslingers... been a long time for me - 20+years since I read the 3rd in the series.
I'm thinking I'll have to start from Book 1 because the story is completely lost from me except something I imagine as a desert ghost town... that's all my brain can re-muster...

(I have to finish my current read... "The Passage")

So - question... Wiki is saying King revised the Gunslinger in 2003... do I read the new version, or the old?

I have the revised version, but I'm not quite sure how different it is to the original one. I believe (and can be corrected) that it partly had to do with the language in that setting, which was a bit rough and didn't flow as well, which some readers found difficult. Not sure about content, but I certainly didn't feel like anything was missing.

I would definitely start it again. I made sure when reading the story (twice) that I read them all in a row. The story sinks in better.

I am currently reading Keyhole - it's only about 300 pgs which was a disappointment. Pretty good so far, but not what I was expecting. Not a lot of time atm to read so I am only about 1/2 way through it.

Under The Dome was brilliant, hope the movie does it justice.

Definitely - Drawing of the Three and Wolves of the Calla were my favourites.

Long Walk was excellent! I wasn't really counting it since it was part of a collection, although I think it was around 100 pages so one of the longer ones? But thoroughly enjoyed that one.

It's also available as a stand alone novel. It's actually over 300 pages, but didn't take long to get through it.

Not sure how I feel about this - I don't think either actor is right for Roland...Crowe would be better than Bardem though:

Very interesting. For some reason I already envision him as either my character from Red Dead Redemption or the main character of Hell on Wheels.

Either way....I plan to start book 2 of this series tonight. FINALLY.
