Wow! we got alot of new people.
Welcome everyone!
Hi, I'm Brownmouse
Hi, ya'll!!
I am new to this site but I have been on two other sites for Stephen King. I wasn't sure I would fit well here because, though I really enjoyed the D.T series- I still need to finish the last book- for some reason I won't finish it(a subconscious desire for it not to end?)-and I noticed from the other sites that I really missed a lot of important symbols, connections, and layers King put in the series. My only excuse is that I started to read them @ 20 years ago and picked up the next in line sporadically-hence, I am sure I lost a lot along the way. I know I should read them again, back to back, and I probably will, someday. I have so many other books (King and other authors) that I want to read first, though.
So, me- 'who am I?" "who am I? "I'm a walrus"-sorry , Breakfast club quote-I always think of that when I have to describe myself
I am a 36 (almost 37-July 12)- woman who would like to think the people who know me call me kind, generous, smart and creative. But I rather think they call me, kooky, messy, stubborn and well, nice at least.-oh and funny. I think people find me funny. I hope.
My posts tend to go on and on at times,- I cannot find my off button very well(!)- so I apologize now- I will try to keep them short, though, But I sometimes seem to go into a fugue state when posting only to come out of it with words and words on the computer-
Alrighty then, I guess that's enough for now. If anyone wants to PM me any ?'s about myself feel free. I DO love to talk about myself!-do we have a message center thingy?
Thanks for having me!

Its great to have you and don't worry, we have plenty of members that have not finished the series.

another hail and hardy welcome to all new members.
you know how once you see the path of the beam you can never unsee it? well, that's pretty much the way it is with this place. once you're here, you can never not be here. you know?
Welcome Clash, great to have you.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My mother bought me the first 4 books for Christmas. I was never a really big SK fan-but I love to read and I will read just about anything. Well these books sat on my shelves for about 2 years and then I had no new books to read so I picked up the Gunslinger. I began reading it-I only got a few pages in and thought to myself (why would my mother get me this "western type" book?) I put it back on the shelf. Last summer I found myself w/o a book to read again so I picked it up again this time telling myself that I was going to read it cover to cover. I am so GLAD that I did. I began reading it and just finished the last book about a month ago.
Who is your favorite charcter?
This is a hard question- I guess I'd have to pick two..Jake and Oy
What is your favorite book?
I'll have to say the final book is my favorite. Even though I didn't want the story to end.
How old are you?
30
Where are you from?
Buffalo, NY
do you have a nickname?
not really- You can call me Amy
Welcome Shaqqyamy. Finally another New Yorker. Yeah. Welcome to the site.
Welcome Amy. Look forward to seeing you post about DT. We've got a million threads on the last book. Have a look around.
welcome amy. i understand what you mean about the "western" theme. i think lots of people think that at first. then you get into and you're totally hooked - forever. enjoy the site!
Welcome Amy.
Roland would have understood.

Hi all you new folken, welcome to your new home!
The answer is within
Hey all! I'm here because I spent the last 1/2 hour browsing the WaG board because I am still spinning from the last part of Roland's flashback.
I discovered the DT series in my local Barnes and Noble one day last summer when I was looking for a new read ( I just got my first teaching job, and hey, teachers should be reading, right?). I read 30 pages of The Gunslinger, stopped because I thought it sucked. I picked it back up because I felt King's novels can't suck THAT bad. I started in February of this year. I just finished WaG this morning I'll be starting Wolves of the Calla this afternoon.
Eddie. He reminds me of me sans addiction to hard drugs.
WaG. No question.

I'm looking forward to gaining some more insight to this fantastic series of books (as well as finishing) and hopefully providing a bit of my own!
WELCOME!!
