Re: Best three memorable moments from The Dark Tower series?

Wow...this one IS a thinker.

-I really enjoyed the part when Roland and Company went up against Shardik. I don't think it was the battle itself more than just the writing and the excitement of that particular portion. The Waste Lands was just a total menagerie of strange creatures and I really liked that about it.
-The "death" of Jake in the first book due to Roland and his need to ignore everything else to catch his prey. It was interesting to see how these two characters were so affected by each other after that point, and even more interesting when Jake makes his return and becomes a part of the ka-tet.
-In Wizard and Glass...learning about his relationship with Susan. It really made a lot of things obvious as to why he had such a cold personality in the present time.

And, just to nerd out...I felt a feeling of glee each time I came across all the other symbolisms into King's other works and other popular phenomena. I really did enjoy all the ties he had in his story, especially the ones to 'Salem's Lot and the appearance of Randall Flagg.
