I spent the past year reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I’m on the last push of the final(seventh) book It was my first dip into any King books and I’m equal parsers impressed and exhausted with his writing style. I always assumed he was a horror writer, but after chugging through the series this year I’m excited to dig into his other works(after a short break for sure) It’s difficult to describe but I found so many parallels between this story and my life that it was eerie to read at times. On top of that, the descriptors he uses in his writing are fascinating. At times the story, especially early on, was confusing and even now, have more questions than answers. I’d like to take a few years and then come back to the saga and give it another shot. Until then, if anyone has recommendations on the next books (non-horror please) to dig into, please send them my way! |

Did you know that he was abusing drugs to keep up with his writing? And not with soft ones either - more like cocaine etc.
I felt like that explained his writing style pretty well Once I kept that in mind while reading his works.
He'd probably have been even better if he hadn't used these drugs, but also wouldn't have published even half as many books.
