Tyler answers “I am currently reading wizard and glass...”

Misty asked this question about Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, #4):

I am currently reading wizard and glass and I'm wondering if I should read the wind through the keyhole next since it's technically book 4.5 or if I should read it in published order? No spoilers please

I'm currently reading them in order and just finished Wizard and Glass (haven't read the last 3 yet).

I don't think there's a hard and fast rule to this question. WttK is much like WaG in that it tells a story within a story and doesn't service the overall plot of the Dark Tower series. If you loved the character development and getting to know the world in WaG then read WttK next. However, if you're like me and felt like WaG was a bit tiresome and just want to get back on the quest for the Dark Tower I'd skip WttK and read it last, it has a good story in and of itself but doesn't service the plot of the series.
