Hi all - I'm ShirleyB aka The Gunslingers Moll. New on here but have read all the Dark Tower books twice, plus the audio book. Just love George Guidall reading it! Great range of voices. Just can't stop myself starting right back at the beginning straight away every time I get to the end of DTVII. My favourite character (besides Roland himself, of course) just has to be Oy.
Greetings

Hello Everyone. I was just passing through the web, trying to find some Dark Tower Artwork to see if the imagines my mind put to the things in the story were close to others and I stumbled onto your website. I must say, I'm glad to find others that are interested in the Dark Tower. I have yet to completely finish the series, as I just started it about 2 weeks ago. I'm on book 5 and loving every moment of it.
I discovered the Dark Tower by recommendation from a friend at work. I'm an avid reader. I usually put away at least a book or so a week. I was playing a video game called Fall out 3 and started to get into the apocalyptic genera of books. A buddy suggested that I check out the Dark Tower. I read the Stand back in high school, and had a love of how King developed his characters. I'm not really into 'scary' books, so I found myself straying away from King's writings. Now that I've started my journey to the Tower, I've gained an everlasting respect of how well King can produce an Epic that doesn't have to do with demon dogs or evil graveyards. I've been hooked [line and sinker] ever since.
My favorite character thus far in my readings has been Cuthbert. Though Roland is the default by most standards, Cuthbert just made me laugh during the Wizard and Glass. I have greatly enjoyed watching the character of Eddie grow from an immature junkie to a tough gunslinger as well.
Though I have only just started Wolves of Calla, I must say my favorite book was the Wastelands. It was crazy and full of excitement and left you hanging at the very end. I was glad that I always buy my next read before I finish my current book, so I didn't have to wait to see what happened on Blaine next.
I am a very old 22 years of age.
I live in New Jersey, but that will be changing very shortly when I finish my enlistment into the United States Navy.
Nick names? Very few.

It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Welcome to the site, Rich. Long days and pleasant nights.
Hi all,
Be nice to the new kid
Been a fan since I was 11 - made the mistake of picking up 'IT' in a shop, read the first 30 pages or so in there and was hooked. Of course, the book (which is probably my favourite - just so much depth and colour) got to me pretty badly (11 years old + overactive imagination = uh oh) and I ended up having to have it put downstairs in a cupboard, facedown each night for a whileOf course - it didn't help that the town SK picked for Bill and Audra to stay in when they came to UK was five miles from my house...
Worked my way through a few others after that before the Gunslinger arrived and I've been sat, largely agape, ever since at the connections and the overlaps.
Anyway - re-reading IT again at the moment and had some connection style questions so figured I'd come here and ask them
Jason.
Welcome Rich and Jason, great to meet you both.
