    It took you 4 years to read through Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' series. It took me 15 years to get through David Wingrove's 'Middle Kingdom' series (the original 8 book print run, not the much longer rewritten books with new material). The reason for that is that it was not easy for me to buy things online in the 2000s (long story). The books are old and out of print so I had to depend on luck finding most of them in second hand book shops. I started in 2002 and read book 8 in 2017.

      @@WilliamsLibrary I am thinking about reading this series. I like Kings books. Everyone has a different perspective (some say it's bloated but ok, some say it's not that bad and has some great moments, some people love them).

      @@WilliamsLibrary 15 years is a long time, especially if you really want to read a book series. Harry Turtledove’s Southern Victory (11 books) and World War (8 books) series took me less than a year and a half each to read but that was because I was really into them, unlike the Dark Tower.

      @@luizdelsoto If you do I would recommend you to read Salem’s Lot (before Dark Tower V), the Stand (before Dark Tower III) and Insomnia (before Dark Tower IV) for additional context of key characters and events in the series.
