Ive read all 4 books twice now... it is truly an amazing work. The first of the books is a little tough to get through, but its the shortest of them, and the other books make it worth your while to read the first one. As, guthmund said, the Dark Tower is in so much of King's writing its almost a little strange. The Talisman and Black house are pretty obvious ones, and Hearts in Atlantis is a little more subtle about its connections with the Dark Tower series. Rose Madder may have had a litle DT influence, but its arguable. Overall, its definately worth the time, since not only is it an amazing story, but you realize how completely the story has taken over King's mind in the past years.
