Are the Dark Tower books worth it? I am considdering to read them but I don't know how it is.

a friend of my is reading them, if he isn't finished. he thinks they are really great. he said I should read them, but I have so much else to read. he even thinks they are better than LoTR, so I don't quite know if he is trustwhorty...

I'm waiting for the 17th book of a manga series called 20th Century Boys. It's pretty awesome in the way that it talks about the importance of music to the main character, and that the world population in is danger of destruction no less than three times in the space of about 15 years. Sadly, I've only found it in japanese right now, and have to read scanlations, 'cause I can only read English or Chinese translations.

The last time I looked for it at my favorite book store, they didn't have it, either.

Oh, and I'm waiting for Hanakimi to be finished so the manga-ka can start a new series...I'm so excited!

No, I don't think you should believe him, his proirities is obviously in the wrong place.

I think so. The major reason being that I've waited for the books for so long a time. I'll get parts six and seven soon too. And then It'll be finally complete.
