I've read/own all Kings books including the comics. I have an affinity for the Dark Tower. I was sorely disappointed with the Movie. The race switch was the least of the probelms with the movie. It was like fan fiction from someone who skimmed a few of the books. Walter's "magic" was retarded. It was like they wanted to make DT a Young Adult Dystopian movie.
The Amazon series seems to be going pretty well so far. There's not much info other than casting. Glen Mazzara is the show runner he's oversaw The Shield, Life, Walking dead, etc. So he knows how to run long form stories.
Have you read all the primary, secondary, and tertiary books? I would Say there is 19 (which has in universe connotation ) novels, 3 novellas, 2 short stories. I didn't count the Comics. They are great as complementary reading but not needed. Also There are two Concordances (volume and revised edition) by Robin Furth and Stephen King
Ones listed as Book 1-7 are the primary books, the novels, novellas, short stories listed in the main section are the secondary. The Tertiary books are listed after the Primary and Secondary.
Book 1: The Gunslinger (revised edition)
Book 2: The Drawing of the Three
The Stand (Uncut Revision)
The Talisman
Book 3: The Waste Lands
IT (not 100% necessary)
The Eyes of the Dragon (Chronologically happens in the past but works well here)
Book 4: Wizard and Glass
Little Sisters of Eluria (Short Story in Everything Eventual. Chronologically it happens before The Gunslinger, but with W&G backwards look fits nicely)
Rose Madder
Desperation
The Regulators
Book 4.5: The Wind Through the Keyhole
Jerusalem's Lot (Short story in Night Shift not to be confused with Salem's Lot novel it tells a little bit of the history)
Salem's Lot
Black House (Sequel to The Talisman)
Insomnia
Book 5: The Wolves of the Calla
Book 6: The Songs of Susannah
Everything Eventual (Novella in Collection of the Same name)
Ur (Novella from Bazaar of Bad Dreams)
Hearts in Atlantis (Especially the first Novella Low Men in Yellow Coats)
Book 7: The Dark Tower
Tertiary Reading (has some connections):
Bag of Bones
From a Buick 8
The Mist from Skeleton Crew
