Hello! I'm new here, and figured this was the place to start

I discovered Stephen King when I was a child - my mother used to read me his books at bedtime! When I first encountered The Gunslinger, I had no idea I would have to wait 25 years for the (unsatisfactory, in my mind) conclusion. I hope Ron Howard gets his ducks in a row and figures out a way to make the movie!

My favorite character is Oy, and I bawled like a baby over him, more than any other character, as the series wound down. I'm also fond of Blaine, even though he is a pain.

My favorite book in the series is The Gunslinger.

I'm from Key West.

I have a sizeable collection of Gunslinger ARCs and other rarities to unload - don't really want to, but Christmas is coming, and the bils never stop - (thanks to my EX-boyfriend, who couldn't be bothered to take them with him when he left), so if someone could point me to the appropriate forum for that, I would really appreciate it

Hope to get to know you all better!

Deb

Hi everyone,

My name is Anton (you can call me Wonton), I'm from Canada and I'm 20 years old.

I discovered the Dark Tower through my dad (who's been a fan since the 80s). I remember walking into a bookstore with him when I was 13 or 14 and seeing Wolves of the Calla newly released. He was excited to see the series continuing, and introduced me to the books. By the time the 7th book came out, I'd already read the first six and read the final book along with my dad.

Recently, I decided that the time had come to re-read the series. For some reason, The Gunslinger wasn't available at the library, so I started with The Drawing of the Three. I'm not a very avid reader (many books lose my interest 40-60 pages in), but when I started at 7 in the evening, I didn't stop reading until I'd finished at 4 am. I was hooked.

I read The Wastelands over the course of a week, and then picked up Wizard and Glass from the library. I remembered the story of Roland and Susan vividly (I'd bought The Gunslinger Born at a bookstore earlier this year - perhaps it was the catalyst for this whole thing), and was excited to experience it once again. Once I got past the opening with Blaine and Topeka, I couldn't stop reading - once again, I read for 9 straight hours. The story resonated with me far more than it ever had when I was younger (Stephen King's Romeo and Juliet, I kept thinking), and I was deeply affected by it. I cried at the end - far more than I'd ever cried at, say, Titanic.

Having slept on it now (I kept hearing bird and bear and hare and fish in several of my dreams), I realized that Wizard and Glass would remain one of my favourite books for the rest of my life. I don't know if my love for this book will permeate to the rest of the DT series, but I do know that I had to find some people to talk to who could understand my obsession with it (I started re-reading it on the train this morning, and spent some of my time at work reading up on possible film adaptions (glad to hear of the Ron Howard project, by the way)). And so, here I am - officially a fanboy.

[Gyps]

Sup guys, it's me Gyps...

I was a regular member of tdt.net way back in the day, 2003-4? Was wondering if the possibility existed that this place is where the old crew hangs out. I'll release the info for my old name later...

Anyways, bout me: I'm 29, from Baltimore, far as hobbies go; I typically do anything that involves stupidity. You'll find out soon enough, I'm sure.

To answer your questions:

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
When I was thirteen, I went to the Cook County library in Chicago cuz I was bored. Tried to stay off the streets, u know? So I've always been a fan of king since sneaking Pet Sematary from my mother's shelf when I was around seven or eight. She didn't want to let me read it. Anyways, I found The Gunslinger sitting at the table I chose. Picked it up, couldn't put it down. I was obsessed at thirteen with the Dark Tower series.

Who is your favorite charcter?
My favorite character has to be... Susan Delgado. I know she had a rough time but being able to witness the young lady develop into a hero in book four, warmed the heart a little.

What is your favorite book?
Definately book four. Couldn't put the damn thing down. Good toilet reading material too.

How old are you?
Old enough to... party...

Where are you from?
Baltiimore, MD originally: Chicago, IL

do you have a nickname?
Flounder, but you can call me Gyps...

Thanks guys... Talk to you real soon.

Hello everyone, I'm Kristen or just Kris. I'm a Navy pilot in training at the Naval Academy. One year to go before I earn my wings! Originally from Florida so I love surfing and hanging out at the beach. I enjoy forums and get pretty bored after homework but was unsure of where to go. I discovered this place by searching for a good deal on the final book, checked it out, and this seems like a great community to discuss my favorite series ever. I'll be around but no spoilers!!!

Nice to meet everyone.

[Gyps]

Welcome Flygrl... Thanks for your service!

[DoctorDodge]

Awesome to meet you, flygirl! (I could call you by your actual name of Kristen, true, but...I have too much respect for pilots! I love heights! Flying for an excellent reason? Even better!)
