200 pages into Insomnia, my 5th grader asked me to coach his Battle of the Books team. A fun diversion! But a diversion.
I’m back at it. I’d still like to claim the Tower within a year but I’d also like to read Psalm for the Wild Built once I’m done with Insomnia.
It’s more and thicker books than I’d counted on. I took many breaks to read other authors. 2 of the kids were born along the way, wiping out my reading time. So after 8 or so years, I haven’t even reached book 4 in the 7 book series.
Toward the end of 2021 and Needful Things (not Tower related but I was interested) I resolved to knuckle down, read nothing else, and finish this within a year. Bought the remaining books so they’d loom over me.
Years ago I decided to reread the #DarkTower series by #StephenKing , but this time to read all of the other books tied into it, in order. Despite being a #constantReader since childhood, I’d never gotten around to It or The Stand.
It’s been interesting! When I got to the revised edition of The Gunslinger I read it with the original next to me, and a guide to the changes on my phone. The person who wrote the guide went into great detail but omitted everything related to sex. Curious.
