Weekly “what are you reading” Thread #46

This past week, I finally got around to starting the 2nd book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, The Drawing of the Three, and holy crap, it gets crazy and really good

I am not a big reader, but I enjoy occasionally reading Lovecraft or King short stories; I have heard a few times that the Dark Tower series is King's "magnum opus," and coincidentally, I own a 1st edition copy of the 1st book, The Gunslinger, so I thought frick it, let's give a 4000+ page, multi-book fantasy series a shot. So far I have loved it and can't put it down

The 1st book, The Gunslinger, was a massive vibe

A short-and-sweet, tone-setting book that (for me, anyway) did a great job of getting me invested in the mysteries of this series. Also, I have heard a lot of people crap on King's style (specifically in The Gunslinger), but personally, I found King's prose really compelling (a bit "old-timey," somewhat similar to Lovecraft). I also gave the audiobook for the 1st book a shot, and the narration is fricking GREAT.

I honestly don't want to get into specifics of why the 2nd book is so good so far because you guys should honestly give it a shot if you haven't

Would like to know if anyone else has read this and what you thought of it

Please no spoilers past the 1st half of The Drawing of the Three, as I have only gotten to the part where they enter the 2nd door (with the black women)
