Ben: Okay so should I start plowing through THE STAND or should I wait for DARTOWER 4.5 to come out first?
Ben: *DARTOWER IV.V
Me: Start on The Stand mos def.
Me: The new book is apparently set between 4 and 5.
Me: Plus I'm sure you'll still be reading The Stand long after it comes out.
Ben: Doesn't it come out in a year?
Me: Yes.
Ben: Fuck that shit.
Me: People say The Stand is his best book.
Ben: Sigh.
Me: The man in black is one of the main characters, there's a lot in book 4 you won't understand without it.
Ben: Haha.
Ben: So you are saying it is less tangentially related to DARTOWER than EYE OF THE DRAGON or 'SALEM'S LOT?
Me: Yes.
Me: 'SALEM'S LOT is more relevant to book 5 anyway.
Ben: Wait so you're saying that the priest doesn't show up until book fucking five?
Ben: *V
Me: Yes.
Ben: Then why does the official reading order recommend SL directly after II rather than after IV?
Me: Because Hearts in Atlantis is also relevant to book V and the only space left was between II and III.
