Dark Tower Power

My girlfriend is a big fan of the Dark Tower by Stephen King. She’s been telling me that I need to read it for the entire five years that we’ve been together. I tell her all the time that I’ll get to it. I’ll eventually read it, I’ll pick it up, but I haven’t yet. I really do want to. She says that it’s the best series that she’s ever read. She has two tattoos dedicated to the story, so I think that it has to be pretty good. Sony is making a movie and tv series based on the books. I think that she told me it is going to be released in January of 2017. She is beyond excited. She called me while I was at work when she first saw it announced. I thought something terrible had happened, but it was just her excitement. She gets really excited anytime she gets to talk about it. It makes her face light up.  One of these days I really am going to read it. The story that she’s told me makes it sound like it’s going to be really interesting. I wonder want I’ll think of it. I don’t want her to ruin it for me though. Sometimes she starts to tell me something really important that happens in the series and she stops herself.  I know that she really wants me to read them. I want to too, but I have this sense of dread, I think. I’m not sure that’s the right word for it. I don’t want to be disappointed in it, because I think that would make her sad. I don’t want to ruin that for her.  I told her when she reads the Halo book series; I’ll read the Dark Tower books. I think that is a pretty fair trade in my opinion.
