There is going to be a lot of back and forth before we get to actual Circle stuff. Gong to take a while to get everyone on the same page. If you've read some of the books lets try to keep spoilery stuff out of here. Light things like me mentioning characters are what not is fine, but major stuff please no.
Also I will need a Yes from the people wanting to join. The way I will keep track is add you to the PM chain. If you have read some, all, or none at all you are welcome. I hope to have as many new-comers/partial-comers and veterans.

Something I said in the PM thread I thought Potentials would want to know:
Oh this will be a loose commitment thing. If you have to take a break that's cool.
I am planning on a revolving weekly/monthly plan.
We set a goal for say 1.5 hours of audio time or the equivalent in chapters to be read by Monday the 6th of November at 5pm EST. AFter that date everyone is free to discuss those 1.5 hours of reading. We will also set the next goal for 1.5 hours/Chapters for Mon 13th at 5 Me you and Marylin will poke and prod to get discussions going. The only rule is no discussion spoilers/chapters before we get to them. You can discuss all you want for readings past. So the 13th comes up and we start discussing those parts, but you want to bring up something that happend in the 2nd chapter go for it. In the future when we get to another book obviouslly you can bring up ties to previous readings.
Basically the weekly goals are for keeping everyone in the same general area of discussion and limit spoilers.
IF you have nothing to say or you are out of commission for a bit don't worry. You can step back in when you can.
I Will create a new thread for each Month of reading. When we start I will create a Official Dark Tower Reading Circle - November 2023, Then Official Dark Tower Reading Circle - December 2023, etc. The weekly goals and discussions will be in each month thread.
This will help with organizing i thinK (thanks Trashie). Also might help be less intimidating than having one ginormous thread.

Very kind, but no thank you. However, I would be interested in such a venture if it involved an author or authors I enjoy more. I loved THE STAND and 11/22/63 - backwards-arsed date >:( - but I find the rest of his work rather hit or miss.

Maybe a nitpick, but shouldn't Wind Through the Key Hole be placed between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla?

A week + hours from now I will open the discussions of the first part of the first book. I'll do it in a separate thread for the Month of November. Mon Nov 6th at 5pm will open the discussions for book The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger (2003 Revised Edition). The book is broken up into 4 basic sections (technically 5 in revised version but I'm merging 2) The first section is titled The Gunslinger also. We will be discussing that section from Nov 6-13. On the 13th we will open up for the next section, The Way Station. Then next one, then next. You can always discuss things we've already read, but nothing upcoming. (if you are reading ahead or have read the series before). The first section is around 60 pages or 2 hours of listening. I want to start small with the first week/first book. We will adjust approprately. See you on the opening day. If you want to join and haven't let me know and I'll add you to the PM group. (pdfs/epubs or audio files can be/are provided)
