  • I bought Wolves of Calla the other day, i saw Goodkind has a new one out but i think i'll wait till paperback for this one.  I recently finished re-reading the first 4 Dark Tower books and i had forgotten how much they rule.  Roland is the coole

The first book aside, he did a brilliant job with this series. He should have stuck with adult fantasy, i think it is his best genre. Cant wait to get into Wolves of Calla!</div>

I can take not being able to play Castlevania. I can take not being able to play FFXI. I can take not being able to play Prince of Persia, but this is just too much.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The Talisman, to my knowledge, makes no real references, it's just really, really similar. Insomnia makes definite references, and he makes very explicit references to The Stand in Wizards and Glass. I think that Eyes of the Dragon makes an incidental reference - it has a Man in Black type character</div>
