Has anyone read King's Dark Tower saga? If not you should. If you have, discuss!!!

I left off on reading book 5 Wolves of the Calla around the time it first came out. So much to catch up on... I always found it interesting to see elements of King's books seemed to relate back to the Dark Tower series, or that characters from his other books would show up during Roland and company's journey to their destination.

I've tried reading the first, but I just got soooo bored.
Someone told me that it was the worst of the series, so maybe I'll try again later.

I have also read them all and find them as one of the best series out there, Stephen King took a good turn from his usuall horror and made this 7 book series extremly excellent.

I didn't like Dreamcatcher as much as mostof his other books, actually. Too much random creepy stuff. And it's a little violent. More early King than anything. Actually, King doesn't usually write horror. Just tales of the odd that show real people. Sometimes these people die, and sometimes they win, and sometimes the story doesn't tell you.

My friend refuses to read Stephen King. Actually, she read one book. Dreamcatcher. She said she really liked it.
ME: So, why don't you like Stephen King?
HER: I don't like his writing!
ME: How many books of his have you tried to read?
HER: Oh, just one. Dreamcatcher. I love that book.
Me: So, you've never looked at any Stephen King book, but one, and you loved it?
HER:...Shut up.
ME: So you liked every single Stephen King book you read, but you don'tlike his books?
HER (slapping me with book and laughing): Shuhut uhhup!

Same. I absolutely love his other work, I'm an avid King reader, but I just couldn't get into it.

Maybe I'll have to try harder.

I've read every book that he's ever written. At least twice. Including Rage. I once made a chart that shows all the connections between the Tower and small elements in his other books, suck as Flagg, the red eye, minor characters, buildings, the rose etc. It is my belief that The Dark Tower saga is supposed to be the main world and all his other books are other worlds that are connected to the Tower. Theres too many coincidences to say otherwise.

I'm also the same, I have almost everything he's written and I keep his dark tower series on the shelf for when I finally get so bored of everything that even that will look interesting again.
I did try reading it, but it read like a western (I personally hate westerns, they're too predictable and monotonous) and I got bored of it. I usually have a "If you get to the first chapter and are still not gripped you will not be gripped" rule.
Although it's set in the terratories (SP?) isn't it? I think I heard someone saying it was leading upto or from Black House and The Talisman.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to have another go at some point in the near future.

My uncle has bought the last three books for me so perhaps now I will have the opportunity to read it. ^_^

Wolves of the Calla = Painful torture to read.
Song of Susannah = More of the same, but was quicker to get through.

I hate this series now with the waste it has become, but after reading this much I want to finish it. The last book at last, but the more than 800 pages is going to kill me.
