Stephen King's "The Gunslinger"

The first book in the Dark Tower series. It's obviously one of King's earlier pieces -- the writing is not very professional in style, and he makes a few rookie mistakes. However, The Gunslinger is a very entertaining book. It tells the tale of Roland, the last gunslinger, making his way through what seems to be a post-apocalyptic spaghetti western in an alternate dimension. Of course, that idea sounds pretty dumb, but the execution is very well done. What we end up getting is a solid story which can be described as "Clint Eastwood meets Tolkien," and that's something I enjoy. If you like action stories with adventurous antiheroes as the protagonist, you'll love The Gunslinger.
