Great idea Sarah! (sorry, I ain't used to calling you maerlyn)
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
When The Gunslinger first came out I could never find a copy. Then when TDotT came out I read it and was finally able to go back and read the Gunslinger. I've been hooked ever since.
Who is your favorite charcter?
I absolutely can't pick one. I love them all almost as if they were real people.
What is your favorite book?
The Gunslinger followed closely by Wizard And Glass
How old are you?
35
Where are you from?
I'm originally from Boston, Mass. I spent about half my life in Virginia, hitchhiked all over the country and have been in NC for about 13 or 14 years.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was a King fan and read Pet Semetery. On the page listing King's work, I saw a mention of The Gunslinger. Being unfamiliar with the title I sought it out. I found a slightly worn true 1st edition sans dustjacket and paid the princely (at that time) sum of $20 for the book. It actually was a strange read for me the first time, but when I read DTII, I was hooked.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland is the easy choice but perhaps I'll add Cort
What is your favorite book?
DTII for the series. The Stand for all of King's works.
How old are you?
46-ouch!
Where are you from?
I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.
do you have a nickname?
My wife would say "asshole"8)
There are those who have met him
And those who haven't
Hidden under a woman's name
You'll find the lucky few
Mingling with the envious
This station is the fourth, and surely is the best
To find the fifth bool, seek the writer of Roland's quest
This is a wonderful idea :cool:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My older brother bought the first issue when it hit the books stores for his wife, she was not really into the story and I asked if I could borrow it for a bit. I loved it and have been a huge fan ever since. Gotta be over 20 years now.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Jake has always been my favorite, he reminds me of my son. Hard as nails, no bullshit
I cried when he died
What is your favorite book?
It used to be Drawing of the Three, now that the series is over, its Wizard and Glass
How old are you?
Just turned 38 :rock:
Where are you from?
I was born in Kansas, moved immediatly to Texas. In 1977, we moved to Colorado so I consider myself a native.
do you have a nickname?
Just Matty and that one is new with the net. :lol:

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My dad is a huge SK fan. He told me I should read the DT series. The summer of 2004 loomed empty, with me single and having nothing to do. I picked up the Gunslinger at the library as my summer reading project. Obviously I was hooked.
Who is your favorite charcter?
I'm partial to Roland, but I also have a soft spot in my heart for Detta. She's so sassy!
What is your favorite book?
Probably The Drawing of the Three
How old are you?

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
The store where I worked got in a bunch of paperbacks, including The Gunslinger and The Drawing of Three, and sold them for 25 cents each. Being the SK fan that I am, I bought those two to read while I was out on maternity leave.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland, duh.
What is your favorite book?
Probably The Drawing of Three
How old are you?
35
Where are you from?
Alabama
do you have a nickname?
A few, but none that you need to concern yourself with. :P
Great idea...
How did you discover The Dark Tower?
I started reading King in around 1987, I kept seeing The Gunslinger advertised at the back of various paperbacks....in 1988 I picked it up and read it. It was slow at first, as a lot of people are when they first pick up The Gunslinger, but I got through it. I got The Drawing of the Three shortly after and read it and was blown away. I quickly re-read The Gunslinger and have been hooked since.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Thats a hard one...it has certainly changed over the years but the version of Flagg known as Richard Fannin has always had a special place in my heart. I can still remember reading The Wastelands when he is introduced. As the character was described he kept sounding more and more familiar (I had read The Stand a few years before) and when I finally made the connection I was floored. To this day, it is one of the best parts of the entire series for me.
What is your favorite book?
I would say The Wastelands.
How old are you?
Just a bit younger than tamez, I will turn 33 a little later this year.
Where are you from?
St. Louis, MO.
Do you have a nickname?
Not really...online I have always gone by pol.
Some of you guys I have gotten to know over the years and I certainly look forward to getting to know a lot more of you.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was living in Campbell, CA and dating a woman in Seattle, WA. I needed something for the 775 mile drive north one weekend, so I stopped at the library for audiobooks. I already liked King, and I saw The Gunslinger and Drawing of the Three. I hadn't heard of them, so I checked out both. The first was read by King himself. Listened to them on the way up and on the way back.
Who is your favorite character?

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I only started reading King about 5 years ago. After Needful Things, I tried The Talisman, so naturally I read Black House after that. The references to the Dark Tower in there really intrigued me, so I decided to try the series.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Ooh, that's a tough choice. I'd have to say I'm the most fond of Eddie.
What is your favorite book?
Drawing of the Three

Probably Jake.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I have a friend who is a King fan and knew that I had enjoyed all the SK books I had read in the past. He asked me if I'd tried the Dark Tower series yet. I told him I hadn't, he gaped at me, then proceeded to order me to read them. I picked up DT1 and gave it a go. I didn't get very far the first time. Last year I gave it another shot and loved it.
Who is your favorite character?
This is such a harsh question. So harsh. However, you can't force me to pick just one, so Roland and Jake for me, thanks.
What is your favorite book?
Drawing of the Three and Wizard and Glass.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was given the Gunslinger as a present when i was about 13 and read it but didnt really get into it a huge amount, and it wasn't til about 10 years after that when I saw the first 4 books available and grabbed TDoT which definitely sucked me right in so I went back and re-read the Gunslinger and then went from there. I've always thought the first book is kind of like a little test after that :P
Who is your favorite character?
Jake, its always good to see kids kicking ass.

The Wastelands

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My dad had the first three when I was young, and I tried to read them because I liked the covers, but I was just too young for it. I was probably 9 years old. I read The Gunslinger a few years back and loved it, so I moved on to The Drawing of the Three, and absoloutely hated the lobstrosities scenes, and put the book down. Then, I met Erin at a party, and being the big nerds taht we are, we started talking about books, and she convinced me to give it another shot. I pushed past the lobstrosities, and loved all of the rest of the books.
Who is your favorite character?
Eddie, Destiny's Fool. I have a tattoo on my right calf of the Ka symbol with Ka-Mai written under it.
What is your favorite book? Wolves of the Calla
How old are you? 28

I think that is a great idea. We'll make it a priority to go through and take any threads that would be productive over onto the site before we archive this forum. It'll give us a good start, if nothing else.
I totally agree. I think it would be a perfect way to get started.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
a friend found out i was into stephen king and was going on and on about the gunslinger, she wouldn't let up and kept trying to force me into taking it home with me so i eventually gave in and read it.
Who is your favorite charcter?
today it's jake, but if you ask me tomorrow it could be someone else and if you asked me while i wasn't in the middle of listening to the series i'd say i can't pick just one.
What is your favorite book?
it's hard to choose. maybe the drawing of the three.
How old are you?
28

Do you have a nickname?
ruki is my nickname, lots of people online know me as zombie.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I read my first King book (Cujo) when I was in 5th grade. I was immediately hooked, so then I picked up The Stand and became a lifelong fan. I read all King's books, except the Dark Tower. I was hesitant to begin because someone (obviously a crazy person) told me they were horrible and a waste of time. One night, however, I was bored and picked up The Gunslinger. A few pages in and there was no way I could ever put it down.
Who is your favorite character?
Eddie. I love me some Eddie. And Oy, of course.
What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass, by far. Then probably The Drawing of the Three.
How old are you?
23
Where are you from?
Richmond, KY

When I lived in N.C, my friends used to call me ELK (my initials), but other than that, I haven't had a nickname in years. Online I just usually go by Erin. I'm boring. :lol:

Hi everyone. A lot of you may know me from TDT.net (mainly in the Collector's Forums there). I'm a long-time King reader and collector. I began to read King when Carrie first came out in paperback. I started collecting the hardcovers with Firestarter. I have all King's works that have been published and some that have not been officially published. I collect, of course. I am trying to specialize in the King proofs, both US and UK. I have almost 100 now. I also have most of the signed limited editions. Yes, I am a King fanatic!

I've been thinking about it and I don't think I rate in the top 5. Maybe the top 25, though. I know a number of people who have equivalent or better collections of proofs than I, and I'm sure there are others out there that don't post on any of the boards.
Just trying to clear things up.

You are humble, and that is a great attribute-however, you have a collection of proofs that is the envy of many, and the possession of few.

Hello people.
I've just registered and...well..here are my details:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
You mean the saga or the website?
The saga: As a fan of Stephen King, almost 12 years ago I picked up a copy of The Drawing of the three in spanish and well...I purchased the three available volumes.
If you mean the website, I saw the post at darktower.net one week ago. :)
Who is your favorite charcter?
Hard to pick just one. I guess Roland and Eddie Dean
What is your favorite book?
It's hard to pick just one, since I consider the whole saga as just one book. But the one I enjoyed the most is Wizard and Glass.
Now..talking about the rest of SK Books, I gotta pick two. The Dead Zone and IT
How old are you?
27....and counting.
Where are you from?
Adrogué, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
do you have a nickname?
Everyone calls me Ari (my name is Ariel). But I'm a boy! :D In Argentina "Ariel" is used for Boys.
Hi Ari! I'd love to visit Argentina some day.
You know, The Dead Zone is one of my favorite King books as well, but for somereason I always forget about it when listing my favorites of his.
Welcome to the site by the way!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I read SK for most of my life because my mom did but she never read the gunslinger books because she thought they were "westerns", after reading through most of SK's other books I decided to give this one a try when I saw it available at my school library.
Who is your favorite character?
That's hard to say, but I'll go with Roland. I really liked Eddie, especially for his comic relief but Roland definitely has that mystique as a character that King set out to create for him.
What is your favorite book?
The Wolves of Calla. Basically because I really liked Father Callahan's story.
How old are you?
I recently turned 20.
Where are you from?
Central New York.
do you have a nickname?
Not really, no nickname anyone tried to give me in the past has really stuck. Typically I just get variants of "Richard", my first name for those who don't know

How did you discover the dark tower?
My knew I liked Stephen King and she bought me Wolves of the Calla for xmas once, so I ended up buying the first 4 so that I could actually read the 5th!
Who is your favourite character?
Um...I don't know, I like them all
What is your favourite book?
Wizard and Glass, I liked the whole love story between Susan and Roland. And reading more about Cuthbert.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Well, I started reading King in Highschool but avoided the Dark Tower series because I thought it sounded dumb (I hated western type things) and anyone who knows me I'm a big "assume you'll hate something before giving it a try" type of guy. I started running out of King books to read and finally picked up The Gunslinger. I was hooked
Who is your favorite charcter? Cuthbert, I wish he had a bigger part in the story.
What is your favorite book?
Probably book 4

No, that's not blasphemy--I've read some of my s/l items too, when they are the only publication (such as the original Eyes of the Dragon and The New Lieutenant's Rap). I'm really careful too, but some of them DO get read!
John
I believe the only one of mine that has anything that isn't in the cheaper version is my 1/200 20th Century Ghost by Joe Hill.
Is there additional material in the original EotD?
I read the ones I have cheap copies of too but, only once.

I read the ones I have cheap copies of too but, only once.
The two editions (the Philtrum Press original and the trade edition from Viking) have a number of textual differences. The main reason I read the limited edition was that it came out in 1984, while the trade didn't get issued until 1987. When I first got the limited, there was no indication that a trade edition would ever be published.

Thanks! I knew about both editions. I just didn't know about the textual differences. Would you say they are significant enough to warrant getting the original to read?
Steve
05-08-2007, 09:51 AM
I agree: what differences can be found?
jhanic
05-08-2007, 10:09 AM
This is from Rocky Woods, et al's "The Complete Guide to the Works of Stephen King":
"King's Philtrum Press first published "Eyes of the Dragon" in 1984 in a Limited Edition of 1250. The Mass Market edition, published in 1987, contains important differences in the text, including Character changes and an entire chapter that was not included in the Mass Market edition."
What Rocky meant to say was that the Mass Market edition has an entire chapter that was not included in the Limited.
I would say that it is worthwhile to get the limited to see just what was changed. The changes are not as drastic as those between the original Stand and the Uncut Stand, though, and don't really affect the story at all. (For example, one of the changes is in the color of the dog. In the Limited, the dog is all white, while in the Mass Market edition, it is white and black.)

ok.
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I had already been into SK's books, and when I was 12 I took the Gunslinger on a plane trip to Italy. I was immediately sucked in to that world. Scrambled to find the other books at the library when i got back. At that point, Wastelands had come out fairly recently. And it was just getting better and better.
Who is your favorite character? Mr. Eddie Dean, yessir.
What is your favorite book? Drawing of the Three is special to me.

very vivid metaphors
I forgot to answer the questions.
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I got really drunk one night and someone gave me this tiny piece of paper and told me to place it on my tongue. I saw many amazing things that night. There were pirates doing tax returns, kitty cats doing pedicures and something about a sheep I'd rather not talk about. I began to ramble on and on about how not ALL catfish were agents of the F.B.I. but I could tell the ones who were. I began to chant over and over "I am son of black dinger" untill a friend decided I need to chill out so he gave me a placidyl. (always a good idea to mix drugs eh?) I ran from them all. "and I ran, I ran both night and day...I couldn't get away" - (Flock of seagulls). My flight took me across the desert on a horse with no name... no one followed. Somehow I found myself in the school library where I picked up a copy of The Stand. I was enthralled. Then one of my hallucinations said "If you like that...B-b-baby you ain't seen nothing yet." here is that author's new book The Gunslinger. (this was the early 80s where the book first came out and the blotter was still good.) From there I was hooked...and I couldn't stop reading the series either. LOL

Hello All, again. I thought I did this before, lol. Looks like the first thread has been removed. Anyway, glad to be here and glad to see some familiar faces like Wiz, John, Ari, Needful Kings and the rest from the collectors forums over on DT.net (I know I've forgot some, sorry). And a special thanks to RF for inviting me!
Anyway I thought I would answer the questions.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Well, I started with King with Pet Semetary, and I was buying every King book when they came out in the 80’s. I bought the Gunslinger when it was released in paperback for the first time.
Who is your favorite character?
Obviously Roland, he’s got that Clint Eastwood in him, that I just love.
What is your favorite book?
Surprisingly, The Wastelands. I found it really cool when we came across the first city from old, and we saw how it had deteriorated into madness. Also we found some of the old people and we first saw how they respected The Gunslingers of old. I think this book really answered some questions I had at the time and I was very pleased. And I really like the mystery about Blane and the cliffhanger at the end, where you yell shit! No way you can’t stop here!
How old are you?
38
Where are you from?
US, Ohio
do you have a nickname?
Gus, by my old high school friends, it’s from my childhood and derived from my last name when everyone tried to shorten Guthrie.
:rose:
i just had to use the rose again, lol
Hey Guthrie. Great to have you here.
We're the same age :D

Hello, everyone!
I used to be Roland_Delgado over at tdt.net. The real name is Daniel. You don't have to call me by my real name.
Now for the quiz:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Through my mother. She is one of the biggest King fans I have ever met. She has just about everyone of his books and stories around here somewhere.
Well, I had heard her and my brother talking about the series for years, and one day I finally decided to just pick up the first book and see what I was missing. Well, needless to say, really, I was missing quite a bit. I breezed through the first book in a couple of nights, and after that, I was hooked. I was luck enough to be able to read all seven books, along with Little Sisters, back-to-back.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland is my first favourite; Walter - or whatever you want to call him - is my second.
What is your favorite book?
It is between The Gunslinger and Wizard & Glass
How old are you?
I am twenty.
Where are you from?
Florida. Born and raised.
Do you have a nickname?
Not that I am aware of. Although, a friend of mine used to call me Captain. She'd put a different name after Captain everytime.
Welcome Daniel, it's great to see you here!

I LOVE "life for your crop"--what a cool greeting.
Glad you made it over, I have been trying to be politically...ummm...delicate on outright inviting folks. I hate to piss of the establishment. :lol:
I just have to hope word of mouth will reach folks. :borg:

I just realized I didn't answer the standard questions!
How did you discover the Dark Tower? Read the Gunslinger stories in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction when they first came out. (I had a subscription.)
Who is your favorite charcter? Eddie.
What is your favorite book? The Drawing of the Three. It shows some REAL innovations!
How old are you? 62
Where are you from? Cleveland, Ohio area
do you have a nickname? I did as a kid, but I hated it. It will remain a secret.
John
I just realized I didn't answer the standard questions!
I just realized the same....
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I had read a lot of King by that time. I didn't like The Gunslinger (and still don't), so I might never have known now great it all was, if I hadn't been in hospital when my best friend brought the books to me, and if he hadn't brought both Book 1 and Book 2. I fell in love with the DT because of Book 2.
Who is your favorite character? Major character: Susannah. Minor character: Callahan. Villain: Blaine the Mono. And Roland stands alone.
What is your favorite book? I can't say. Even if we choose only of the DT books, they are three: The Drawing, The Waste Lands, and Wolves. (If I had to chose one, it would be Wolves)
How old are you? 42
Where are you from? St.Petersburg (formerly Leningrad, formerly Petrograd, originally St.Petersburg), Russia (formerly Soviet Union, originally Russia...)
do you have a nickname: No, but, since I am a bear, you're welcome to use any ursine word.
I see Linda, Liz, and Rjeso.
**Swoons**
Am I invisible? :lol:

I havent answered any of the questions either, lets see if I can remember ...
1st DT book was sugested by a friend Arthur, I asked to read the whole series....he was hooked already, and lent the books to me, I started to buy them (paperback) and have loved them all so much.I now have replaced the papaerbacks ...but still have them of course.
Favorite Character would be Roland, followed closely by Jake & Oy
Favorite Book. Thats difficult to say, DoTT I guess.
How old: 52 in July
I am from Philadelphia Pa.
Nickname:"Pants" just lately thanks to my yo-tet!!:doh:

quiddityquest (used most often)
reeferslinger (a dead tdt.netter whose id I inherited)
adumbros (my younger brother but I used his account sometimes)
One of the Stephen King's
One of the Richard Bachman's
Charlie Decker
and I also used an account of someone else's Mandy some.
I "believe" that's all the names I've ever used there. Most people know me by the quiddityquest id. Now, I use my real name (Brice) pretty much everywhere. The only exception being tdt cause I don't want to bother Josh about something as small as changing it.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Started reading King with IT, then moved on to the Stand and I always saw the Gunslinger, but dismissed it as King's attempt at a western. Classic case of "Judging a Book by it's cover". Finally started to read it because there were no new King books out at the time, and the rest as they say is history.
Who is your favorite character?
Wow so many to choose from, but I'm gonna hafta say Cuthbert. We share a similar taste in Humour.
What is your favorite book? Dark Tower and overall King
Dark Tower Book: The Drawing of the Three
Over All King: Man.. It's a tie betwixt IT and The Stand (uncut)
How old are you?
32 cycles (in earth time thats a quadrillion bazillion years)
Where are you from?
Originally the third arm of the Spiral Galaxy. But nowadays I claim to be from Canada as no one suspects a wierdo canadian of anything other than being Canadian.
Do you have a nickname?
Sorta. Baradin is actually one, and "J" is the other.
