Exactly.

Hola y'all. My name is Aaron Larkin, but most people just call me Larkin or Larkhan. I am 34 from New Haven, CT. I've been a King fan most of my life, and I have been drawn to the Tower since the first time I picked up The Gunslinger. I enjoy the entire series including the comics, and I wait with antici...
...pation at news of any new developments. I'm excited that Universal has optioned 3 movies and a TV series, but I'm also wary. There's a lot to pack in, and look what the movies have done to Narnia and Harry Potter.
I look at the Tower as Trekkers look at that series: there are lessons to be learned, and a great many things in the books make sense in actual reality, regardless of what level you reside. I also believe in balance between Good and Evil, Light and Dark, Purpose and Random. I have the runes for UNFOUND tattooed on the back of my neck, and until last year had the number 19 underneath it. The number has since been covered by another tattoo currently in progress.
Welcome to the boards, Aaron! It's nice to see someone with such a great name, even if it's spelled wrong.I kid, I kid.
Anyhoo, we have a Dark Tower Tattoo thread that can be found here:

I'd love to see some pictures of your tat!
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Me too, Larkin! Welcome!

Another Aaron/Erin! Sweet! Welcome.

Hi everyone! I already introduced myself over in Calvin's Corner as that is where I've been lurking mostly, but though I should here as well.
My name is Tim and I am a Dark Tower junkie. I have been sober for about 12 minutes (since I hit the "pause" button on my Gunslinger MP3 that I'm reabsorbing for a group read on LibraryThing).
Anyway, nice to meet you all and I hope to see you around the forums.

Welcome to the board, new friends.
Roland would have understood.
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I read everything by Stephen King. It is strange because the first time I picked up The Gunslinger in the late 1980's I didn't even finish it. I didn't want to read a "cowboy story". Several years later after Wizard and Glass came out (must have been in the late 1990's) I bought and read all four but still it didn't have a lot of impact. Then my son read them all last year and refused to tell me the ending. He definitely got hooked and even bought some of the comics. He gave me the series on audio book for my birthday this past August. I travel by car a lot for work so I have quite a bit of time to listen. I was so enthralled from the first word that I went and bought the entire series in paperback and devoured them all. I am just finishing Wizard and Glass on audio. I have not thought through what is different this time but I am now obsessed with it. I love this board. What great thoughts. I have been lurking for awhile but sometimes I want to respond so I decided to join.

Hello. I have been a fan of the Dark Tower books for about sixteen years. I have probably read "The Gunslinger" at least a dozen times. I love all of the books but my favourite will always be the first one.
I'm on my first reread and I think I may change my favorite to be the first one as well. I like the focus on Roland, and I like the mystery.
