Secretly am female?

When is that disclosed?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

A brief internet search tells me that IT's real form (or at least the closest thing to a real form the human mind can comprehend in our plane of existence) is a giant pregnant female spider. Apparently one of the characters in the book says "oh dear Jesus, IT is female," though the web page I was reading doesn't give a page number.

It's definitely referenced in The Dark Tower iirc

The It monster is in the dark Tower? Which book? I think I only read the first three.

And honestly I can barely remember them even though I read the first three twice. They're so crazy.

When he finally came back to finish that series he really took it off, way off, the rails. I envy you for only having read the first 3.

Yeah, but Book 4 is the best. Wizard and Glass is the pinnacle of the series.

Been years (prob over a decade) since I've read any of them, but I remembered hating Wizard and Glass at first, because it was a prequel and I wanted to hear more about the current journey, but fell in love with it by the end. So fucking good.

Seriously? I thought the last two books were the strongest.

Oh man, talk about unpopular take.

You're entitled to your opinion of course. But that's a tough one to defend lol

Oh yeah? Which one did they first visit a metropolitan city?

Was the gunslinger in a pharmacy?

Idk I think I lost interest at that point.

Ahhh look at these strange metal boxes with people inside! - geeeet outta here.

2nd book has the gunslinger (in Eddie's body) in New York, and yes he had a shootout with the police in a pharmacy. He needed meds for his infected hand.

I don't remember strange metal boxes with people inside...

4th book is really good. At least teenage me liked it at the time. It's a prequel book about a time in the gunslinger past when he had just become newly knighted, and a love interest.

After that things get weird. I should try another read through.
