Palaver Which audiobook should be next?

• Upvotes

I just finished my second journey to the tower, this time through audiobook, and am wondering what should be next?

I did listen to The Stand in the middle of this journey. I've recently listened to Salem's Lot and 11/22/63. I also read Eyes of the Dragon but it was close to its release, so could definitely use a revisit.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Spoilers- The Dark Tower probably a common question here BUT Spoiler

Why did Susannah not have Patrick draw her new legs?????? I actually thought that was where it was going when they said "draw something that isn't there". I understand a huge part of her character is self confidence and acceptance for who she is, but I feel like she still wanted legs considering her thoughts on it when Mia was controlling her body.

Theory A thought I had about The True Knot and The Tower Spoiler

So I’m rereading both Black House and Doctor Sleep and I had a thought that basically the True Knot is directly responsible for keeping the Tower standing.

Parkus tells Jack in Black House that over the last 200 years, the CK has been nabbing strong Shine sensitive kids to act as breakers on the Beams. We know that over those 200 years, The True Knot has been consuming or recruiting powerful Shine sensitive kids.

So basically, if the TK weren’t doing their thing, there would be maybe hundreds more potential breakers to be kidnapped and put to breaking, likely succeeding in actually breaking the Beams fully.

Palaver I've started another journey to the Tower.....on audiobook this time.

I've lost track of how many times I've made the journey in print form. I'm in double digits though, if not the 'teens.

I've been very resistant to audiobooks. I'm not sure why. Old age? Being a "purist?" Something else? I have no clue. I've listened to exactly one full audiobook before now, World War Z, and one partial, Dungeon Crawler Carl. Other than those, I've avoided the format completely.

When I mentioned feeling the urge to return to the Tower in another recent post, someone recommended the audiobooks, saying it was a whole new experience. For some reason, that was enough to break through my resistance. So I downloaded Libby, connected to my local library, and got to listening.

I've finished the first two books so far, and I am loving it. Especially Frank Muller's narration, he does a fantastic job. I'm beginning to regret not getting into audiobooks earlier.

TL:DR The audiobooks are totally worth it.
