The Waste Lands.

The Long Walk is better, as far as books go: it's the only perfect book King has written so far. But The Waste Lands, although at times sloppy, poorly balanced in terms of composition, and, as it has been rightfully noticed, lacking any real plot - is still more than a book. It's part of my life, part of my soul, in some more essential way than any good book is or should be.

As much as I enjoyed The Long Walk, I loved The Waste Lands--my second favorite of the Dark Tower novels.
