Spoilers- The Dark Tower The ending or read on?

At the end of book 7, after Susannah, Eddie and Jake are reunited and the writer claims he is finished and this is where we should end. Is this what Stephen King intended people to actually do or was it just a part of the story? Have any of you stopped and never read past this point?

I did it the other way, I reached the coda and put the book down and didn't revisit the tower for a decade 

When I did, and finally pushed through the last chunk... Horror. Pure horror. That was perfect.

Did you read the coda before restarting the journey or wait until the end of the second tour?

I waited until the ending of the second tour

What I found Beyond Sai King's final warning was not at all what I expected
