In theory, this adds at most 1 hour of darkness to your day, regardless of when you wake up.

I've always found this goofy copypasta version of the poem to be really funny, because even in the silly voice it assumes, it still manages to capture something of the essence of the piece. Even as written here, that last line has a certain power and resonance:

    I met a traveller from way the hell off
    who said: two gigantic, fucked-up rock legs
    be out there in the middle of goddamn nowhere
    right next to them covered in shit some kinda big face
    looked pretty pissed & upset & whatnot
    all damn covered in words
    “yo ozymandias here, this my shit”
    “better than your shit, get fucked buddy”
    not much else tho, just sand
    shitloads of sand all over the place

Overall I agree, but I actually quite like the ending of the series. I've read lots of folks online who absolutely hated what ultimately happens to Roland - I thought it was a cool ending which was very much in keeping with the sort of "cosmic cycles" theme of the books. That said, there is a _lot_ of junk in those final three books, and the seventh one in particular drops the ball in several disappointing ways before it ends.
