It's weird.

I caculated how long The Dark Tower was about a week ago, and it comes out to approximately 4,050 pages, or something around there.

In other words, hovering somwhere around Proustian territory, and I still have no clue what the exact purpose of Jamie DeCurry was.

Go figure.

^__^

Anyway, I suppose that's why I need to read some of the suplementary material.

I personally liked the series, even though some books-Wizard and Glass-were much better than others-The Wolves of the Calla.

Overall, I was satisfied with the (final) conclusion.

I can't say that I was "happy" with it-really, who could be happy with that ending-but satisfied sums up how I feel.

And look! You got 4141, too!

Jamie De Curry looks like a "mathom" in that book...He was kinda like the dust on the table...not useful, but there.

Sometimes, it seemed he was really trying to fill up the pages, not necessarily with "story."

But I read it all. And now I'm feeling like this supplement is covering the same ground that SK covered in his forewards and afterwords. *sigh* (Maybe I'm too critical?)
