This may sound dumb, but I've never read for this man. I've always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I've read so much non-fiction ~~through~~ throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while. Thanks in advance

EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much

I cannot recommend The Dark Tower series enough, it is my absolute favorite. You need to buckle in and prepare for the long journey ahead though.

This and The Stand (unabridged) for me.

Man, I'm confused now. Some folks only recommend books 1 - 4 and now you're telling me all of them? Lol. Which is it now?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Once you get through the first four, you will want to keep reading. The last books aren't all bad.

Ok, thank you. I'm still reading fairy tale, and I very much like how simple his writing his.

Why you'd want to stop at 4 I'll never know!

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LOL. I'm wondering the same, but I have not read those books, so I can't judge. Maybe the books go bad after the 4th? I don't know.

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just my suggestion, but you should read them all!

I'll give it a try
