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.
@alyx Dark Tower is... weird. It's kind of brilliant and stupid at the same time. The first 4 books are mostly good. The last few were mostly weird with some okay parts but also some dumb parts.
also agreed the first is kinda boring
@tcql hehe, if i make it very far i suspect my take will be closer to yours than to the average super-fan's
