I'm on the second book. I absolutely love surreal stuff like this, that blurs different genres. Does it stay consistently good, throughout most of it?

There is another series of books similar to The Dark Tower, called The Dungeon. VERRRRRY obscure, but the first two books are fantastic. Problem is that each book is written by a different author, and it goes downhill fast because of it. Didn't even bother reading the 5th and 6th books.

Chris Jericho's Auto Biography - 6/10. Kind of dragged at times.

I gave The Green Mile a shot today, and I read 50 pages and 30 of them, to me, were just filler and BS. There were times where I skipped an entire chapter because there was nothing to further the plot. Maybe I don't like reading or I was reading it at work, but it did not interest me. I'ma go watch the movie sometime. If I read the book again from the start I might have to electrocute myself.

Yeah it stays consistently good for the most part. They get increasingly better up until the very last book, which tends to drag at certain points. But within the story it is understandable why King wrote it that way. The ending always gets mixed reviews. I found it bitter sweet myself, but probably more sweet than bitter.

Have you read Hearts In Atlantis or Insomnia? I would recommend reading through both of those before you get to far into the series.

I've just picked up a book of three novels in one type deal of his at the library. It includes the Shining, Salems Lot, and Carrie. Never read any of these three, but I've seen the movies at one point or the other.
