Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It’s so much better than any of this other writing that it’s actually upsetting. But that series stuck with me for a long time.

Someday I hope to make it past the first book. I have read almost every King novel leading up to The Dark Tower series but I couldn't get through The Gunslinger and I couldn't say exactly why, it just didn't grab my attention like his other works.

I’d say give it another shot. The first book is short, and 2, 3, and 4 are the best parts. 5, not so much unfortunately.

I'm thinking of taking my fourth turn of the wheel soon.
