I usually read much higher-brow books than King - *singular head-wobble* - but I am enjoying 'The Gunslinger'. It's interesting and pretty well written.

Great stuff! The first book was a little hard to chew in the beginning, but once the story gets it's pace it goes from good to amazing fast.
Just finished reading book 4 'Wizard and Glass' so 3 more to go and I can't wait to read how this tale will continue.
Kick ass material
Yeah, I just got done with book III. I'm really enjoying it so far, and I loved the bit [SPOILER - highlight to read]: where Roland tells Blaine how it is.
It's certainly an epic book in scope.

Oh shit, man...I just finished book VII, and all I can say is:
That ending was shit!
I did all that reading, and all I got was a cop-out ending. Pff, cheated.

Are you saying that I don't enjoy the minute before I ejaculate? I do, I really do.
If I stopped where he wanted me to I'd still be let-down. If you name a book 'The Dark Tower', then you would expect to enter it at the end. Maybe he should have just called the series 'A Number of Long Books With Some Good Bits But Which Ultimately Runs Out Of Imagination At The End'.
Although, I love Catcher In The Rye, but there are no fields in that one.

It all depends on the importance you place on ejaculation.

I agree, the ending was a bit of a let down. It wasn't bad, but I expected more. I think everybody expected more.

It's difficult to explain why the ending is so bad without giving the goose away. It also makes you feel a little stupid for taking the time to read all those books.
This is about something else (ie. not the ending), but it's a spoiler nonetheless: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: I also thought the Stephen King within the story was a bunch of embarrassing crap. I started cringing every time he was part of the narrative. It was so unnecessary to do it.
