By the way, The Dark Tower progressively gets worse as it goes on. Well, book one is decent and book two and three are the best, but after that it goes downhill. I gave up halfway through book six and never read book seven.

I have to agree with this; I thought books 1 to 3 were really excellent, some of King's best, while the rest fell on a continuum somewhere between mediocre and terrible. You think it's bad when King appears as a character in a movie adaptation of one of his books? Let me tell you, that's nothing compared to the awfulness of King appearing as a major character in a book.
When I was younger, I read the book "The Long Walk" (published under King's pen name Richard Bachman), and thought it was really good. King has some misses, but when he hits he hits hard; the man really is a very good writer.
