Sing Your Heart Out!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I had held off on reading the Dark Tower books [my bad, don't ask me why], but so enjoyed "The Little Sisters of Eluria" when I read "Everything's Eventual" that I needed to start in on "The Gunslinger". I haven't read anything but the series since starting in, and I'm now almost done with "Wolves of the Calla". I'm reading with a degree of urgency, needless to say....
Who is your favorite charcter?
Cuthbert -- I even purchased a rook skull so I could have my very own "Lookout"
What is your favorite book?
Of the ones I've completed? "Wizard and Glass" I suppose, but it's close
How old are you?
I was born in the 60's....
Where are you from?
I'm from Greater Boston
Do you have a nickname
Nothing I'd care to disclose yet -- gotta preserve some mystery. Feel free to call me Bill, though.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this site, it's nice to have others along for my reckless ride into obsession. Seems like a decent ka-tet here.
Hi, I've posted a few new DT treasures I've recently picked up but otherwise I'm squeaky-clean around here so I thought I'd introduce myself:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was probably 13 when I first read 'The Gunslinger'. The Sphere UK edition without the Whelan illustrations.
I had read a lot of King (Misery, The Shining, Night Shift, Salems Lot, Tommyknockers) that year and was absolutely adamant that I would read as much of the master as possible! Lucky for me I found a copy of DTI!
'The Gunslinger' was profound enough for me to begin and re-begin a series of knock-off DT short-stories. None which were ever finished or worth reading!
The DT series up until IV was really hard to get in Australia (comparatively) so I probably didn't read DTII and III until at least 1992. Hard to say.
I would devour the rest of the series as quickly as King could write and publish it.
Who is your favourite character?
Cuthbert Allgood.
Am I only one around here who thinks that 'Wizard And Glass' was freaking awesome!?!!???
Also Oy rocks especially in DTVII.
What is your favorite book?
Of the DT series I would say DTII because it really made the series explode in my mind with that book. After the dusty bare-bones of DTI it completely transformed the DT world and the possibilities became endless (although I never imagined the plot-lines of DTV-VII could eventuate!)
How old are you?
31 years.
Where are you from?
Blue Mountains, Australia
Do you have a nickname?
No, actually.
Thx guys!
As a way of saying hello and introducing myself I'll just do this. I'm an open book (no pun intended). Ask me anything!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I found The Gunslinger at a yard sale. Never looked back.
Who is your favorite character?
Jake Chambers, absolutely! Of all the characters he is the most noble, yet still remains human.
What is your favorite book?
The Wolves of the Calla
How old are you?
47
do you have a nickname?
In real life, Cin. Online, Saxy
Where are you from?
Northern California, although I now live in Eastern Oklahoma.
Welcome, Bill! I'm glad you found this site too.
Welcome to the site, dubs!

welcome to all!!! dive in and enjoy and i look forwards to discussing the books and more with you all
Welcome, everyone! I hope you enjoy it here. Being a fairly new member myself, I can attest to how quickly you'll become a member of our Tet!
You have no idea. Whatever level of obsession you have here, I'm sure you will find others who are just as bad (myself included). The moderators here are fantastic; I'm sure you'll have a blast! Make sure to check out the threads within the Wizard and Glass book section. If that's your favorite book so far then I can promise you that you'll find some threads of interest. My personal favorite of all of the W&G threads:Spoiler:

and the gunslinger followed.
That is an amazing discussion that offers a great amount of insight.

Just finished reading "Wolves..." Freakin'-A amazing!! Been a long time since I cheered out loud while reading a book -- only time as an adult.I've already carved out enough scheduled time to read "Song..." this weekend.
For those who've read the series more than once -- and I'm sensing that's most of you -- do rereadings bring nearly the reward and revelation of the first time through?
Oh yeah, just as emotional every time for me. The highs, lows
tears. What a journey each time, and often picking up some
thing new, unnoticed etc...on rereads.
The answer is within
Kinda new...maybe
Hi all. I regged a while back, just have not actively posted. I'm a huge Tower fan as well as just about everything else from SK.
Hey Doc, I'm pretty new here, but I have a huge Stephen King Collection myself. Welcome Back
Howdy!!
Hello Doc, it's very nice to meetcha!!! welcome home

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's heartwarming to read the expressions of the just finished
reading junkies isnt it?

Long days and pleasant nights. I'm a musician from the UK. For the last four years I have been working on a project to interpret the Dark Tower series into music. The project is nearly two thirds completed. My aim in joining this site (apart from discussing sai King's greatest work) is to promote my work, hopefully I will be able to bring my project to a larger audience of DT lovers.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was a long time Constant Reader but not a DT fan (a state of mind I cannot even imagine now!) despite my elder brother's constant nagging. It wasn't until my friend bought me The Gunslinger (revised) for my birthday that I ventured on the greatest literary adventure of my life.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland is an easy answer, but aside from him I'd probably choose Eddie.
What is your favorite book?
The Drawing of the Three without doubt.
How old are you?
28
Where are you from?
Lots of different places in England
do you have a nickname?
My musical moniker is Fingers T
That's really awesome! Would you need a bassist by any chance? I've been looking for a good excuse to move to the UK
Welcome to the site, Music! I hope you enjoy it here.

Thankee sai!That's really awesome! Would you need a bassist by any chance? I've been looking for a good excuse to move to the UK
Welcome to the site, Music! I hope you enjoy it here.
I do play bass on my tracks, though my main skills are guitar and keyboard. If you'd like to collaberate sometime let me know.
I would be honored to be a part of your project if that's at all possible. If you send me a few excerpts from a couple songs (Blaine is one of my favorites), then I could try them out with some recording equipment and tell you if it's anything I could help with. Whether you send them as tabs or sheet music, it doesn't matter. If need be, I can give you an e-mail address. If that's anything you would be interested in, please tell me. Like I said, I would love to be part of your project!
