Hello
Hey all, I'm Tyler.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I received 1-4 for Christmas last year (I think) from my mom, who gave up on the second book. I was instantly addicted from page 1 of the Gunslinger.
Who is your favorite character?
It's a really close draw between Roland and Eddie. I would actually say Cuthbert, but Eddie is pretty much Bert, so Eddie may be number one, Roland an extremely close second
What is your favorite book?
Probably Wolves of the Calla
How old are you?
16
Where are you from?
Indiana
do you have a nickname?

Hi. Been browsing these boards once in a while for years when I came across something I was looking for answers to but only yesterday decided to sign up. I've been reading Dark Tower books since 1992 and have always ranked them among my favorite books. Even though I am not as thrilled with the rushed ending trilogy as I might have been, I've really enjoyed them every time I read them. Over the last 18 years I have managed to read all but maybe four of King's novels, most of those being the newer ones. Reading Under the Dome last Fall got me in the mood to read all seven DT books in one go, something I never did. When the final trilogy came out, I had read teh first four often enough I didn't feel I needed to read them again at the time. Reading the four again before the last three though makes a big difference for me, the action is so compacted it was very exciting going through all seven straight through (took about a month and a half to find the time for it all). Anyway I'll fill out the questions best I can:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Discovered King in 8th grade when I was looking for something fun to read after school and found The Dark Half. I really liked it, so I checked out a stack of other stuff from the library. I think my first big haul had Night Shift and DT1 and DT2 in it and I read them all voraciously. When I got to Waste Lands it was easily the most exciting book I'd ever read. Since then I've read many better books but few if any have given me that sense of wonder the first run through Waste Lands did. I read the first three DT books three or four times each waiting for Wizard and Glass to get written.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland. Eddie in the final trilogy is also really great, though I was not as impressed prior to that. Basically when Eddie stopped mentioning Henry constantly he got more interesting.
What is your favorite (*Dark Tower) book?
The Gunslinger, since it can stand on its own and has absolutely no boring or irritating sections at all to me. The other books each have a page or three I could stand to see trimmed. I would probably not pick any of the seven novels as my all time favorite book though, that would be harder to pick. Though King is my favorite author I might not pick one of his as my all time favorite. If I did though it's probably It.
How old are you?

Where are you from?
Salem, Oregon and London, Ontario

Kronz, unsurprisingly

I cannot believe this is my first time on this site. I have been a huge Dark Tower fan for over 10 years, I even made a DT website ages ago: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/thedarktower/. I never finished it.... mainly since darktowercompendium fulfilled all my website needs. I am kicking around ideas for a DT tattoo, I think mostly cus I just need MORE of it.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I always liked Stephen King's books (well, since I was in highschool anyways). A trip to the library found me The Drawing of the Three. I started reading that first (crime!) but very soon I realized I needed the first one. From there I just kept going, uncontrollably.
Who is your favorite character?
Definitely Roland.
What is your favorite (*Dark Tower) book?
I really want to say Gunslinger because it started it all for me. Emotionally the Gunslinger is my fave. But I think the Drawing of the Three blew my mind.

Another Introduction
Hello. I'm a Forum noob, so i figured practice makes perfect so here i am. This seems like a good place to start because I love the Dark tower so much!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My Dad used to read tons of stephen king, when he was younger. i was always interested and i saw IT as a kid. it scared the hell out of me and that turned me off for a awhile. last year I first read the novel and thenwatched the film. Book is so much better!!!! anyway i discovered that many of his other novels had lots of connections to this one series of his, The Dark Tower. I decided to pick up the first one and fell inlove with it. that wasen't long ago and I'm actually only finishing wolves of the calla so... yeah. I plan to tackle alot of other king connecting books though (ie. Insomnia, Hearts in Atlantis, The Stand and maybe Rose Madder)
Who is your favorite charcter?
I love Oy. the idea of the ka-tet having a sort of pet is awesome! but he's so much more than that also. i love when he copies what people say and he's really brave at times also. great stuff
What is your favorite book?
The Wastelands. lots of great adventuring around Mid-world and great characters to meet in that one. (sort of a Spoiler here) the cliffhanger ending is brilliant.
How old are you?
17 in April
Where are you from?
Toronto Canada

Not really...

Suppose since I'm visiting here every day, and now posting a bit here and there, I figured I should introduce myself.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A roommate introduced me to TDT back when I was in college in the early 90's. I read the first 3 books then and was crushed to learn there were no more!
Then, completely by accident, I discovered a few months ago that there were in fact more books and the series had been completed! I bought #4 myself, then made sure my kids knew to get me 5,6 and 7 for Christmas. I finished DT VII a week or so ago. Mixed emotions and am certainly going through what I saw someone refer to here as Post DT Depression or something similar?
Who is your favorite character?
Ah, well Roland of course! Although that might change after I re-read 1-3. It has been nearly 20 years.
What is your favorite book?
Out of the last 4 of the DT series I'd say W&G. As above though, we'll see after I refresh my memory of 1-3.
How old are you?
As of 2/2010 I'm 37, I think, although I forget sometimes, really.
Where are you from?
USA - Born in AZ, grew up and went to college in OK and have lived in IL since 93.
do you have a nickname?
Not really. Always use Orion as a forum name as a mythological hunter reference.
Looking forward to wasting, errr spending some quality work time here with all of you of similar interests.
