The two major quests were completed in relatively quick fashion: Freeing the Breakers at Devar-Toi in order to save the Beam and saving Stephen King from getting run over by a van so he can continue writing Gan's Song. Each of those came at a terrible price and the ka-tet is no more.
So what's next? There's still so much book to go - practically another entire novel's worth!

I have never enjoyed not enjoying a book as much as I'm not enjoying The Dark Tower.
The mood is so bitter here at the end of all tihngs. We've recently lost a beloved character in a painstakingly drawn out manner and now, during the quest to save King, we're tipped off that someone else is going to be sacrificed in the process.
What gives?
I start Part Three, Ch II: Ves’-Ka Gan.

In a series that featured human/spider hybrids, insane wizards and psychotic intelligent trains, I didn't expect an unhappy Jewish housewife to play a heroic role in the saga!
I finish off Part Three, Ch I: Mrs. Tassenbaum Drives South.

I dreaded picking up The Dark Tower today.
I knew Eddie's demise happened in this book. I just didn't realize it occurred so soon.
The sense of adventure is gone. Now it's just sorrowful mourning.
I pick up at Part Two, Ch XII: The Tet Breaks.

THE DARK TOWER: THE ARTIST'S DOOR (2004)
Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"
Patrick Danville, the magical artist, draws the door into existence. Note the 2 brushes on the doorknob. The marks of the tire treads on the ground are a callback to Susannah’s trike, depicted in another painting THE DARK TOWER: KA-TET.

Continuing with The Dark Tower, Part Two Ch X: The Last Palaver (Sheemie's Dream).
I don't like the name of this chapter "Last Palaver"! I still have about two months to go in this book, but the finality of this lengthy journey is starting to hit me!

I finish off The Dark Tower, Part Two, Ch VIII "The Gingerbread House".
For many pages now, Roland and the ka-tet listened to hours of Ted Brautigan's tape recordings in which he spoke not only of his personal story, but everything he knows of the Devar-Toi prison, the Breakers and heck, even of The Dark Tower itself.

I continue reading The Dark Tower today as I turn to Part One: Ch VI: 𝘖𝘯 𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘦.
We switch back to Eddie and Roland who are in Maine, 1977, on a quest to complete a real estate transaction.

I spend some quality time with The Dark Tower today as I finish off this lengthy chapter, Part One: Ch V: 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘺 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦.
When we last left Jake, he had just walked out of a lengthy, fluorescent-lit tunnel under New York City and into a jungle with a FREAKIN' DINOSAUR!

I don't know who the lion is that's sleeping tonight, but I bet I'm about to find out! So far, we've spent final moments with Pere Callahan, Eddie & Roland in Maine and Susannah watching Mia give birth to a demon spider baby. The only major ka-tet member we haven't seen yet is Jake (and Oy!)

POLL TIME!
My mom loved Stephen King's novels. Two in particular: The Stand and Needful Things.
I've only tried reading one—Pet Sematary—and I... found it lacking. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, or I went into it thinking I'd be scared from the start and I wasn't. At all. Either way, I DNF'd.
But this year, to honor my mom, I want to read one of her two favorite Stephen King novels. So, which one should I try?

I am currently listening to Tai-Pan by James Clavell. As soon as I‘m through with it, I‘ll be taking up a re-listening journey of THE DARK TOWER by Stephen King. All novels, one by one. #audiobooks #JamesClavell #StephenKing #TheDarkTower
LEGENDS: THE GUNSLINGER (1998/2000)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 36" x 24"
Stephen King doesn't describe the Dark Tower in the early books of the series, but many of the main characters experience dream visions of the object of their quest. 1/3

Dear Utah,
I was having trouble deciding what to read next, and then you banned this one.
Of course I went out and bought it new. I'm not going to thank you, though. I will, however, ask the fascist religislature to get the fuck off my free lawn.
Sincerely,
A reader who also votes with his wallet.

DARK FORTUNE (2017)
Acrylic - 12” x 9”
A dark smudge on palette paper suggested a hooded figure...and it turned into the Man in Black from Stephen King’s opus The Dark Tower.
