Also a full-sized iPad, even an Air, is a bit on the heavy side for reading in bed.
So that is my question to all of you, which books should I read as part of my The Dark Tower reading?
Of course I will read the seven main books, but then there’s the eight ”The Wind Through the Keyhole” that takes place between number four and five. Should I read this one after ”Wizard and Glass” and before ”Wolves of the Calla” or should I consider it more like bonus material after I’ve finished the main books?
How about other King novels that tie into The Dark Tower, like ”The Stand”, should I intersperse it in the reading of the main series or should it also be considered something extra to read afterward?
Two things to note if you have suggestions for me:
@MrHenko Your book cover images seem to be all super Low res in Sunlit (beta) not sure why
@adamprocter Unfortunately, they are very low res. The reading progress is piped in from GoodReads using rss and ifttt. The images they provide are that low res. One reason why I want to move to a homemade solution for reading tracking but I haven’t gotten around to finish it.
@MrHenko “Revolvermannen” must be “Gunslinger”?
@sirshannon Yep, that’s the one!

@MrHenko Death gets some of the absolute best stories and lines of all the Endless. So well written.
@colinwalker I agree completely! Also, there’s something so compelling about the idea of Death looking like a teen goth kid. It’s actually because of Death that I found the Sandman comics. Her appearance is used to describe a person in a song by my favorite band, kent. “You look like Death, Dream’s sister…” (Clumsely translated from Swedish by me.)
@MrHenko Always good when you get cultural references like that 😊
@colinwalker Oh yeah, and I’m a huge sucker for intertextual references in song lyrics.

27 juli, 2018 17:54@MrHenko I would read the main books, then 4.5 and then the comics.
I have no idea if they are in Swedish yet though. Don’t think I’ve seen them in Norwegian yet so they probably aren’t.

29 juli, 2018 13:50@furstenberg There’s comics as well?!? Are they adaptations of the books or stand-alone stories?
The Dark Tower series, including 4.5/8, were translated to Swedish and published early last year.

29 juli, 2018 14:34@MrHenko Yes there are Dark Tower comics as well.
It started out with an adaptation of book four. And it kind of grew from there. 😃
