Once you start the dark tower...you can never leave. Roland of Gilead is a bad mofo...

(you'll also find that once you start reading the tower...there are LOTS and LOTS of his books that are secretly following the beam. You'll get that beam part soon. All things serve the tower...no matter what dimension you are in.)

I dont believe these are categorized as "books" , but I also enjoyed all the following works ( I love greek philosophy and mythologies and tragedies ofcourse...shakespeare is just a fuckin' copycat...as he is known today as the most successful plagiarist..but whatever) :

-Most of the works by Sophocles; Ajax , Philoctetes, Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone, etc.
-Some works by Shakespeare; Hamlet and Macbeth.
-Plato's Timaeus, Critias, and the Republic.


Currently reading On the Motion of Animals -by Aristotle. Amazing stuff.
