My name is Domen-Ian and I'm from Slovenia. I've only read one of King's books - Misery because we had to read one English book for school and I loved it. Now I want to read another one, so I asked my mother to get me a book of his from the library and there were only 2 books available so she brought me The Dark Tower:Wizard and glass, which is the reason why I came here.
I want to know whether it's a good idea to read the fourth part of the series without reading the first 3 before that or should I somehow get my hands on the other 3 first?

Welcome. I'm with Ms. Mod, read The Dark Tower books in order.

What was the other Stephen King book the library had?
Under the dome is the only other one in English. The woman working there didn't show it to my mom though as my mom said that the woman only brought her Wizard and glass and another book which was really thin, so she picked Wizard and glass. I've checked on-line and it says that Under the dome should be available.
Should I read that instead and try to get my hands on the first part of the dark tower?

That is a good idea. Also, welcome.

I would definitely choose "Under the Dome" - I think you will like it very much and it is so much better than the TV series - much more indepth.

I would go with Under the Dome as well and wait to see if you can get the first books in the Dark Tower series before beginning that journey. Are you able to order in books? If so, you could always start at the very beginning of SK's career with Carrie and go from there.
