I've only just become aware of 'The Wind Through the Keyhole'. It wasn't a part of the original publication. I'll have to get on that immediately. Most of my Dark Tower series books have drifted away, and I'm giving serious thought to collecting them again. I read this series (too many) years ago, but your enthusiasm is so joyful, it makes me want to read it again. I'm so happy for you that you've found a series that you truly love. Keep up the great work, Bart.
Thank you, Bart.Your enthusiasm is contagious. I've read about 80% of all that Stephen King write and I confess I've kept The Dark Tower at a distance feeling no particular attraction to it. Now I have a growing itch to check it out. Seven 🛸
I, Iike you, I stayed away from DT for a long time, but I'm glad I gave it a second chance. It's one of those series that will not work for everyone, but for those that it does, it will be a fun ride. Just got to get through book one; in my opinion the weakest, so far anyway.
The more you read the series, the more you appreciate ‘The Gunslinger’ until the end when you want to read it again. Enjoy the journey! There’ll only be one first time.
Ahh, the great conundrum : Do I read the filler books that sit between the main novels? There should be a law against writing them. 😀 I'm currently reading The Sun Eater series and half way through I decided to go back for the fillers. I just want them out of the way so I can get back to the main story. They fill some gaps but they also break into the flow of things.
Great point about the filler books breaking the story’s flow. I also felt that way reading the interludes in Stormlight Archive. With regards to Suneater; I read book one and need to pick up book 2 and get back to that world. I liked it a lot. Thanks!
I would say there’s nothing wrong with reading Wind Through the Keyhole next at all. I did it the other way around and read it when it came out, a year or two after my second read of the main series and it was nice to go back and revisit the ka tet at that particular period in the timeline. But I think either way is fine. Love that you love Wizard and Glass though, that’s my favourite of the series. Did you know there is a whole comic book series called Gunslinger Born which goes far more into Wizard and Glass related matters? It’s excellent as well!
Wind through the keyhole is the lesser book in the series, if your going to read it do so before the final book the dark tower (you'll understand why the way it ends)

Wind through the Keyhole was written almost 10yrs after the last entry in the series.
It is chronologically slotted between books 4 and 5.
Love your passion!
Thank You! I think passion in life and passion for life are key to our sanity in this crazy life…

So many books and so little time! Hope you have a great reading summer. Happy reading.
Thank You, same to You! 🙌
Adding these to my tbr
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I am! 🤞

Thanks Richard.
There is an immense satisfaction in immersing yourself in a series and realizing that you’re experiencing something special.

I saw some images on line from the comic book. I’ll look for it once I’m done with the whole series.
Thanks for the insight on Keyhole! 🙌

Got it. That is a good tip. Thanks
