"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.

Well, there's the fact that if I ever have a son, I'm going to try my damndest to get the mother to allow me to name him Roland Edward Williams. I'd settle for Edward Roland, but wouldn't be as happy with it.
The Dark Tower has affected me to the core. I firmly believe I am who I am because of Roland, and his quest for the Tower. I mean, it's not the only thing to affect my personality, but it's granted me certain outlooks on life that I might not have otherwise held.
The Dark Tower series has made me regular once again.

The dark tower and the people I have met here have inspired me to draw again. I have not done cartoons since I was in junior high. I used to always draw cats, and I would put them into star trek scenarios. Now I am putting them as catslingers and even more animal slingers and am coming up with ideas to maybe even put together comic strips...
The dark tower has inspired me to write a story involving vampires and zombies, and although it's far from being finished I think someday it will end up being a great story.
The dark tower's people that I have met have inspired me because I see even more good and diversity in the world than I was ever prepared for. When you live in a small town, sometimes you think that's how the whole world is; that there is nothing much else out there. And when you lived in the ghetto in Mississippi for two years, that doesn't help even when you have moved back to that small U.P. town. I escaped into the world and found darkness, and very little light. Through my people here I have found light, and hope, and friendship.
Everytime I go through a door I haven't been through I wonder if I will end up in another world. Isn't that inspiring, to think the possibilities of a door not just being a door and to see the world as hardly anyone else has ever seen?
I'm sure there are many other ways but these are the few off the top of my head.

You rock, Liz.
Roland would have understood.
this series grabbed my heart in so many ways. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me angry and I felt as if I knew all of them personally. when i finished reading the series, I felt lost! weird??
anyways, I find myself talking like Roland haha!
AND....I wanna Billy Bumbler!
And what do you two talk about? If you don't mind me asking.
Great to have you here, lady.
Roland would have understood.
thanks Letti!!!!
i think you misunderstood, I talk like Roland , not to Roland.
Like I call people Sai and tell them to have long days and pleasant nights etc.
haha.
but i wish I could talk to Roland!
I really wish I could talk to Roland.
I mean...without being crazy.
Its great to have you here TLC, I hope we are well met along the path of the beam.
As for myself, the series inspired me to create a fan site and I'm really glad I did.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Oh, sorry.Cry your pardon, sai. I might have read it that way because that's what I wanted to read. *smiles*
Anyway I feel the same way I wish I could talk to Roland but I would be afraid that he would think me weak and useless... I would be afraid of his judgement.
Roland would have understood.
useless?
God have mercy on anyone Roland would consider useful...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand what you mean but still... I would die inside a little if Roland thought me weak and useless. Not for him but for the world.
Roland would have understood.
Amen my brother, amen.
The last thing in the world I would want is to fall under the eye of Roland.
But I wouldn't mind hearing old stories over a campfire and a hand rolled smoke. Some of Walters tobacco would be best.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
yes i'd love to hear old stories from Roland!!!
And, maybe "try" and teach him some jokes....not that he'd get them but hey, if Eddie could try , I'd like to take a stab at it too.
I would love to hear jokes from Roland too...

Roland finding someone useful surely means that person definitely is, though.
yeah, but for how long? and to what ends? and what happens to them when he's used them up or needs to go on about his merry beam finding way? (ex. jake in the gunslinger)Roland finding someone useful surely means that person definitely is, though.
Distractions
It's quite possible I could stand alone on this, but does anyone else feel like they use the Dark Tower series to distract themselves from things they probably should be doing? In my journalism class I found myself re-writing favorite quotes from the books instead of practicing my leads. Oops! But it was so much more fun, and I hate writing leads for two hours. And last night I was overjoyed to find out I didn't have an online british literature assignment, so I read instead! It was pretty much amazing. Does anyone else have a tendency of doing that??
Katie
All of us I believe dear.
The answer is within
You are definitely not alone Katie. The DT books are like old friends. Perhaps you could accommodate your obsession with the books into your academic work. For example, practice writing leads about events in the DT series. I'm only half-joking.
my obsession and distraction is actually this site
i'm ensnared!!
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
Yep - the combination of this site and the books is extremely deadly!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
yup...agree with all!!!! Major obsession!
on the site when i should be sleeping? who me?
on the site when i should be cleaning? who me?
reading the books when i should be sleeping? who me?
reading the books when i should be cleaning? who me
okay, on the site and/or reading the books and/or finding connections in other books and/or reading connector books, etc. when i should be doing anything else?
who me?
I'm sorry, is there anything else?
