I remember back years ago when The Exorcist movie came out. Many churches were telling their members to stay away. Then nobody could get into the theaters because they were always packed with parishioners from various religious denominations - the shows were all sold out.
Rarely does an attempt at shaming something ever work out the way the shamer intends. Every tried to go to a Chick-Fil-A? The lines at the drive-thru wrap around the building and down the block. |

I'll see your "sheesh" for the (imo underwhelming) Wimsy and raise you a SHEESH for omitting Alllingham's Campion series and Marsh's Alleyn

David Brin Uplift series. High quality writing, but suitable for binging.

So why would anyone want to read stories that are racist and antisemitic when there are much better stories to read that are neither of these things?

From what I gather is that The Dark Tower series is tied into other books. Having such a list would be good to give everyone a chance to be complete if that's what's wanted. |

Are they all like The Gunslinger? Didn't really enjoy it so never read anymore of the series.
The Gunslinger The Drawing of lines The waste Lands Wizard and Glass Wolves of the Calla Song of Susannah The Dark Tower As far as I know they are the 7 in the series Wolf. |
