This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
The gunslinger is definitely a hard one to get going (but it does get going) because he was super young when he wrote it (I think he was like 19 or something like that) but overall the Dark Tower series is one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever read. Especially if you’re familiar with his world building (lots of books live within the Dark Tower universe like The Stand, Salem’s Lot, even The Shining to an extent). It also has one of the most memorable open lines of any book series “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gun slinger followed”.
