Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here.
I finished reading the first four Dark Tower books, and read somewhere that before reading Wolves of the Calla, I should read several other SK books, such as The Talisman, Insomnia, Desperation, Black House, The Regulators, The Stand, etc.
The thing is, I'm really anxious to read the rest of the actual Dark Tower story, and I was interested in your opinion:
How necessary is it to read those other books first? Are the connections/events in the other books crucial to understanding the main DT books? How much would it take away from my overall experience to skip the other books for now and come back to them after I finish DT?
Please do not include spoilers in your replies
Thanks!
