You were supposed to stop reading at the point he wrote the interlude and said, "I wanted the series to end here but my publisher made me do this".
Where was that?
Last book when Roland reaches the tower. He interjects a "Dear reader" bit and says he wanted to stop here but his publisher wanted a more concrete ending.
The book was supposed to end with Roland opening the door and you never knowing what's in the tower.
By buddy told me years later what was in the part after I stopped. Glad I ended it where I did.
