      The It monster is in the dark Tower? Which book? I think I only read the first three.

      And honestly I can barely remember them even though I read the first three twice. They’re so crazy.

        When he finally came back to finish that series he really took it off, way off, the rails. I envy you for only having read the first 3.

          Yeah, but Book 4 is the best. Wizard and Glass is the pinnacle of the series.

          Been years (prob over a decade) since I’ve read any of them, but I remembered hating Wizard and Glass at first, because it was a prequel and I wanted to hear more about the current journey, but fell in love with it by the end. So fucking good.

            Oh man, talk about unpopular take.

            You’re entitled to your opinion of course. But that’s a tough one to defend lol

          Oh yeah? Which one did they first visit a metropolitan city?

          Was the gunslinger in a pharmacy?

          Idk I think I lost interest at that point.

          Ahhh look at these strange metal boxes with people inside! - geeeet outta here.

            2nd book has the gunslinger (in Eddie’s body) in New York, and yes he had a shootout with the police in a pharmacy. He needed meds for his infected hand.

            I don’t remember strange metal boxes with people inside…

            4th book is really good. At least teenage me liked it at the time. It’s a prequel book about a time in the gunslinger past when he had just become newly knighted, and a love interest.

            After that things get weird. I should try another read through.
