    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    when the first paperback printing of the gunslinger came out, I was maybe 13. I snatched it up because the whole atmosphere of the story seemed intriguing. I really liked the stripped-down and mysterious feel to the novel. The second book followed shortly thereafter and I enjoyed it as well. It saddened me in a way because it seemed like King had little interest in finishing the story. I knew the third book would come, but figured that'd probably be it. Anyway, after years of putting it off, I'm reading the series. I reread the original printing of gunslinger and am rereading the expanded/revised version now. The writing stylistically is much better in the revised version and although it is different in a lot of ways, it is also really enjoyable. I'm excited to get into book II.

    Who is your favorite character?

    Only having read the first two books, although I like Jake a lot, and Roland is cool, the man in black is the reason I read it in the first place. I followed him through the desert along side Roland.

    What is your favorite book?
    In terms of the series, I can't judge yet. Of all time, probably Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami.

    How old are you?
    34

    Where are you from?
    New Jersey

    do you have a nickname?
    Faft

    Default Hello!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    My aunt is a huge Stephen King fan, and she new that I was an avid reader. One day I was looking around on her bookshelf, and I found the Stephen King section. She has turned me on to a number of great authors (McCammon, King, and Straub to name a few) and after first reading the Stand I was hooked. I joined up on the SK message boards, and just continued to read and learn about King's books, I recently started the Dark Tower books after two years of reading King. I'm about halfway through Wolves of the Calla.

    Who is your favorite charcter?
    Jake or Cuthbert.

    What is your favorite book?
    Wizard & Glass has been my favorite DT book, but my favorite book is Fahrenheit 451.

    How old are you?

    17

    Where are you from?
    Oregon.

    do you have a nickname?
    Some people over on the SKMB call me Codester, because my name is Cody.

    I'm happy to join another community of Stephen King fanatics!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    Well, I had finished reading the first novel series I ever read back in 2007 (or was it 2006, I don't remember, time is going by fast), the harry potter series. I didn't have anything else to pass the time. then, around 3 months ago, my brother Jesse shows me the first dark tower book. I read it, and im thinking Stephen King is fucked in the head, but in a good way. since then i have read the first six books twice, and have yet to read the seventh.

    Who is your favorite character?

    This is a tough question. My favorite character would have to be Jake.

    What is your favorite book?

    The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass

    How old are you?

    16

    were are you from?

    Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, North America, Planet Earth, Sun's solar system, Milky Way Galaxy.

    Do you have a nickname?

    just call me Mega, Knight, or Megaknight. (or Kyle if you want)

    Default Hello there

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    Well thats a long story all its own, but Ill tell you one thing, if it hadnt of been for the first two lines of the book I never wouldve kept reading, I had so much to do and see in those days

    Who is your favorite charcter?
    My favourite character even from the first book, was Cuthbert, dont ask why I really couldnt tell you even if in the first book Roland only remembers him once or twice, my Fiancee (upon my telling her why I stay up until 2am sometimes reading) even says Im somewhat like him (yes I laugh like an idiot) so I guess its because I identify with him, even though we dont get to know him that well (unless Stephen King decides to do a spin off )

    What is your favorite book?
    My favourite book would have to be the first one, why you ask? because its the only one that could really be a stand alone from all the rest (provided I havent read the last two because of the little problem I mentioned in another part of this forum which I hope someone here can help me with) and because if it had been the only book in the series it wouldve been the saddest ending I can recall in a long time (for a book)
    How old are you?
    Im 24 going on 25

    Where are you from?
    I like to think all over, Ive been to Mexico,France,Peru,Argentina,Honduras, and about 20 states in the continental U.S. but I was born in good ol N.C.

    do you have a nickname?
    My friends call me Sat. (and no SatampraZeiros isnt my name either the Sat nickname comes from something else, something somewhat embarrassing and innocent at the same time, at least thats what I like to think )

    Well I certainly hope you learned enough about me there, and yeah I do talk (type) a lot sometimes I know, but its just my nature I guess, so I say Thankya.

    Hey. I'm new.

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I bought Insomnia at Walmart back in 2004, read through it, loved it, and on the back it had some of King's other works. Well the one that caught my eye was The Gunslinger. It just sounded badass and I figured with King doing it, it'd be great. So I read it and found out it was a series of books and it worked out great.

    Who is your favorite character?
    Roland and Eddie are my favorite, and you guys are the last people on the internet I need to explain why.

    What is your favorite book?
    Book 7 is my favorite. I spent a lot of time reading the books, and fortunately I never had to wait years upon years for a book to come out like some of you did. When I finished the middle books the last books came out, so I planned it pretty nicely. But I still spent a lot of hours reading and loving the series, and it was so great to see Roland finish his quest.

    How old are you?
    Turned 19 in May. Hoping it's a good year for me

    Where are you from?
    Born, raised, and living in Arizona, though I do hope to move out of state in a year or two to finish college.

    This looks like a great forum, and it's going to be nice to have a bunch of Tower junkies that I can talk to on a daily basis.
