So, I near the end of The Dark Tower series.

The guy is a genius. A zillion of his books it turns out, are connected to the series.

Loyal readers, like me, will now go back and re buy all of the books somehow connected to the DT and reread them all.

Best ploy to sale books ever.

Kujo, Insomia, Firestarter. They were so so, he has some good ideas and transfers them well to the page but the books get fucking turgid in places.
