say what u will about the coda (I 4 one liked it) but I dont think that there is anyone who had enough restraint to not read the coda, yeah sai king advised against it but he knew damn well we were all going to disregard the warning and read the coda and I simply cannot bring myself top believe that someone didnt
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do

I can imagine that someone didn't but I don't think he will be able to stop himself forever.
Roland would have understood.
I almost stopped reading before the coda... was a pretty paper thin line... but reading past it wakes you up to so much more hypotheses' to wonder about, pertaining to the levels of the tower, and how things will change etc. etc.
My only problem with the Coda is that it was the end of the series but not the end of the story. I mean, sure, yeah it's "begun all over again", except it hasn't. You can't simply go back to DT1 and pretend you're just still rolling along from DT7, because things are different now - subtly different. In the next go-around, Roland may never meet Jake, or Eddie, or Suze. He might form a completely different ka-tet. Which wouldn't be so bad....except that we'll never, ever get to read about it! I'd be just fine with such an "ending" if it resulted in some more books....but it won't, say sorry.
I'm pro Coda because it keeps the series alive. We've had some really great discussions on here that wouldn't be possible without the idea of Roland looping, obtaining the horn, etc...
The whole don't read past this point you don't want to know no really stop thing had me wondering if King was back on drugs for a moment. Then I read on! I can't imagine not doing so. And it's good I don't know anyone who's read that far and stopped because I don't think we'd be friends for longSpoiler:

I can believe someone would stop, not me...but I can believe it.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I believe it as well. They're the same kind of people who leave a sporting event before the game is over.
The guy just said he wanted to know that Roland reached the Dark Tower and that was all. He was too afraid something bad would happen and he didn't want to deal with that.

I could envision this person about to achieve true religious enlightenment and then telling God (or whoever) "No no no, don't actually tell me the mysteries of the universe. I just wanted to know if I could actually find out what they were, but they might not be what I want to hear, so thanks, but no thanks."
Or telling a girl no don't touch me...I thought I wanted to know what it was like, but I'd rather not. I might be disappointed.
"I just wanted to know if I could get laid, not what it actually felt like."
