The Dark Tower has 1 book that is horrible and would be worth skipping if it wasn't for the fact there's a book after it so you need to read it to continue the story. Make sure you read The Wind Through The Keyhole after Wizard and Glass since that's where it takes place even though it was the last book written in the series.

A couple things. 1) the bold is laughable. Dance is a book with almost zero purpose. I am not the only one to think so.
2) SoS in the Dark Tower series isn't as bad as everyone rags on it for, especially on re-read. I understand the hate for it on the first pass, but I think it grows on you the second time around.
3) do NOT read The Wind Through the Keyhole after WaG. First time through, it is much preferred to read the books in production order. Taking time away from the main quest to read not one, but two side stories is a tough ask. A lot of people find WaG to be a tough read on the first read through because it leaves the main storyline for the majority of the book. Read 1-7 and then 8 imo.
4) If you've already seen Game of Thrones season 1, set aside ASOIAF and read through the Dark Tower first. Then never see the movie.
Holy crap, never see the movie. Wait for HBO or Starz or Showtime to pick up the rights because **** Sony.
