Another big time newbie here! Just finished the Dark Tower and I am out all over the internet looking for Dark Tower discussion! So I will do my best to answer the questions.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
At the end of 2004 I read my first King book on a whim, The Stand, and I was blown away. My father had told me that he had also read The Talisman and Black House and thought that if I liked The Stand that much, then I would also like those. After finishing the Talisman and Black House I was needing a fix of more King so I went out to Amazon and kept becoming intrigued by the writeups for the Dark Tower series. After a year of pensiveness and procrastination I decided to make the purchase while I could still find some hardcovers. I bought the first 4 books, and told my parents I would like the other 3 for Christmas. After I had all 7 books, and procrastinated a little more I began the long journey with Roland to the Dark Tower, and after a little over a year I finally have finished.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland
What is your favorite book?
In the Dark Tower series I would have to say either Drawing of the Three or Wizard and Glass
How old are you?
27 at the moment

I currently hail from St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

How did you discover The Dark Tower?
From my Gr. 8 teacher, Mr. Brice. He ranted and raved about it and then one day I just decided to pick it up to sate him an was completely surprised that it was any good. Turned out to be the most rewarding series I ever read.
Who is your favorite character?
Of the DT universe? Eddie for sure.
What is your favorite book?
Hard choice, probably....uhmmm.....
Pfft.
DT3? Maybe?
How old are you?
17 minus a month.
Where are you from?
Aurora, Ontario. The big A dot.
do you have a nickname?
Only to my 'closest' friends *wink*

Hey Time/Kevin! Glad to see you here.

Hello
How did you discover The Dark Tower? I had taken a break from reading for a really long time... (like, since I got out of highschool? haha) and I decided to get into it again, so I won a lot of 14 S.K. books on eBay for like $5. In that lot I had DT2, 3 & 5. I just kept them off to the side because I figured I would never buy the others. Well I ended up reading all of the others, and my boss raved to me how awesome the DT series was so I picked up #1 at the library...and that's how I came to be a DT junkie
Who is your favorite charcter? This is a tough question! While the story of Roland and Susan is my favorite part of the series, I really don't think either are my favorite characters. I want to say either Eddie or Jake. Eddie because of his sense of humor which is so like my own; Jake because he was forced to grow up earlier than other kids his age, which I also can relate to.
What is your favorite book? Wizard and Glass, definitely
How old are you? I'll be 24 December 30th!
Where are you from? At the moment I live at the Jersey Shore, but I'm in the process of moving to the Poconos...and I can't wait!
Do you have a nickname? Not really, you can just call me Annie.
You are not the first to say this and won't be the last.Hello
Welcome Annie.
I guess I should answer the questions like everyone else...
How did you discover The Dark Tower?
I was looking for another long adventure story to read after finishing The Lord of The Rings and told my wife that I might try The Dark Tower by Stephen King. She ended up getting the first three for me as her gift of paper for our first wedding anniversary. She didn't realize she was going to create an addict. That was only six months before the last book came out. Basically, I read books one to six straight through, read most of the connecting books while waiting for the final installment, and then read book seven within days of it coming out.
Who is your favorite character?
That is really tough because they all add so much to the story. However, I will go with Roland because it is his quest after all.
What is your favorite book?
The Wizard And The Glass is the first to come to mind mainly because of the flashback. Ironically, I think that if they ever make a Dark Tower series of movies that is one of the parts that must be really cut down. The Gunslinger is a very close second.
How old are you?
28 (but I feel every bit like 40 sometimes, damn work!)
Where are you from?
Texas (no, I do not ride a horse nor am I responsible for W)
do you have a nickname?
Rube
welcome Donnie.Darko!
welcome Eluria!

Introduce Yourself
How did you discover The Dark Tower?
My friend's mom had actually bought him a bunch of King's books and he wasn't reading The Gunslinger atm so I borrowed it and read it. Fell in love with the series ever since then.
Who is your fav. character?
Jake has to be my fav. just cause he was so young in the story but dealt with everything and turned into a badass lol. Walter O'dimm is a close second though.
What is your fav. book?
From the series I liked Wizard and Glass best becuase it went back to when he was younger and finally gave you more insight into his friends Allain and Cuthbert. Both were a big part of Roland's story so I really liked getting to read about them more.
How old are you?
19, but 20 in Feb.
Where from?
Granger, Indiana all my life.
Do you have a nickname?
Friends call me Jake I guess. But I used to use O'dimm actually as my tag when I was big into video games.
