I just put it out of mind my and didn't think about it... more than once or twice each and every week. :(
I pretended to forget about the DT books and go on with life as usual. Alas, it worked only once: between books 1 and 2.
Oh, and I had "twice the fun" waiting: first I had to wait for books to be written and published, and then on top of that to find someone to bring me a copy across (sometimes multiple) border(s).
I just waited until the next one was released, read the previous one(s) again and then the new one. I did that up until WOTC (which I disliked very much, OK, I hated it), and after that just read them as they were released, hating all the rest of them.
I love a good cliffhanger ending. Didn't bother me a bit. Just made me want to read it again.
BTW, this thread will be merged shortly.
I pretended that all the stuff that wasn't as awesome as the DT series (nearly everything) was distracting me; it wasn't. The waits fuckin' killed me.
Oh, I liked not knowing what was DT related and running across surprises. :)

How Did you discover the dark tower?
I was introduced to the dark tower series by a high school acquaintance, but never really payed to much into it, it wasn't until a few years later a good friend of mine suggested it to me and i gave it another try. I'm currently in the process of finishing it and enjoying every minute of it.
Who is your favorite character?
I would definitely have to say I mostly enjoy listen to Callihian, (though my spelling is not one of my strong points) I love hearing his back story and the banter between him and fellow characters amusing me.
What is your favorite book?
Well i just recently got into reading, I was never much one to stay intrigued into a book growing up so my list of books that i've read is pretty short but growing. that in mind, i would say The tailsmen so far has been my favorite read.
How Old are you? And where are you from?
I'm currently 28 years old, and from Massachusetts.
Do you have a nickname?
In high school people called me by my last name, but i don't consider that a nickname, or rather a creative one to say the least. 07-24-2012 08:38 AMBriceWelcome! :) 07-24-2012 09:42 AMstkmw02Welcome, RegularGuy! 07-24-2012 09:38 PMMerlin1958Welcome, Regularguy!!!!
As a "Old School" kinda guy guy, I would say anytime you "get into reading" is a good time!!! Welcome to the club!!!!
Reading is FUN-damental!!! 07-25-2012 05:07 PMDoctorDodge 07-29-2012 09:06 AMJack MortHello Fellow Fans,
How did you discover the dark tower?
I read the Plume paperback when it first came out. I guess I was fifteen or so? I had read Tommyknockers, The Long Walk (my favorite short King piece) and The Stand (my favorite single long book).
Who is your favorite character?
Oh Jake for sure. He's the kid I identify with the most. I was like him, it seems sometimes, when I was growing up. Now, even, it's like he's searching for a father, searching for himself. A kid almost literally between life and death, childhood and adulthood, etc.
What is your favorite book?
Oh boy. Of The Dark Tower it's a tie between Gunslinger (the original version!!) and The Drawing of The Three.
How old are you? And where are you from?
I'm 38 and I'm from Connecticut originally.
Do you have a nickname?
Nope. My students call me Mr. -- or my first name. If I had a nickname though, it would be something like Doctor Amazing and his Incredible Band of Empire Strikes Back Devotees?
NB I introduced myself in another thread but I thought I'd come here to cover my bases! Everyone seems just great on these forums!
