Dark Tower (and connected books) - Reading Order?

[Sandman]

Personally I would read the Dark Tower 1-7 first and get the whole story. then thru reading them you will get an idea as to what other books you would like to read first. that is what I did at least. you can enjoy the tower on its own with out reading the other books. but I personally feel you will enjoy reading the other books after you know what happens in the tower.

My personnel opinion would be:
The Gunslinger
Little Sisters of Eluria
The Drawing of the Three
Wastelands
The Stand
Wizard and Glass
Salem's Lot
Wolves of the Calla
Hearts in Atlantis
Song of Susannah
Insomnia
The Dark Tower

However, Eyes of the Dragon, The Talisman, Black House, The Mist, IT, Desperation and The Regulators, From a Buick 8, and many of SK's short story collections would also be suggested reading

DUDE! Ya GOTTA read DT IN ORDER or the story wont flow right! After all, it IS just ONE long story...reading it out of order would be a genuine mistake, IMO. Plus, it gets pretty complicated and it would be easy to get lost.
The rest...in any order is ok.
