got the notion to read the dark tower books last month. read up to 3 (waste lands) 20 years ago. remember liking that one.

first book bored me.
second one (drawing of the three) is just starting to entertain a bit 40% in. ganbatte, book.

hoping the long-term investment is worthwhile.

this is a pretty common thing for me, i hear people rave about something and try it for myself, only to completely fail to feel engaged.

major example, i thought the silo / wool series was awful. it's known that the author paid for many of his amazon reviews, but i even had a friend recommend the series.

i wonder if my taste is just different from most. seems very choosy.
