Hi!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was introduced to this series by my mom and dad. I had just read Cell and asked them what stephen king book i should read next and they both said i should try the Dark Tower books.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Well, considering i've only read The Gunslinger, i have a limited amount of characters to choose from.
Although from those that were included in this particular book i'd have to go with the majority and say Roland. He's just really enigmatic. Aside from the main character i'd have to say Cort or Jake. Poor Jake.
What is your favorite book?
The Gunslinger, but that's the only one i've read so far. I really liked when The Man in Black read Roland's future, is it safe to assume the slave card signifies the man addicted to lsd, and the two faced lady is Odetta? Also i'm thinking that since The MIB place the Dark Tower card over Roland, that means that the Dark Tower will consume Roland, and he'll become obsessed with finding it. Or maybe it signifies that it's his destiny to find the Tower and defeat Legion.
Where are you from?
California
Do you have a nickname?
Many, George Lopez (don't ask), Gomes, Gomsey, Gomer Pile, etc.
And what are you envious of?
WELCOME!!!

Oh, just that you are just starting out on a wonderful journey. I envy you a little for being new to it because a part of me would like to be to new to it again. I've read The Gunslinger 25+ times and the whole series several times. It is still magical, but not quite the same as that first time discovering it. Which version did you read? The original Gunslinger or the revised?
Yes, I was just saying about the same when you posted that.
Your journey has just begun...right Brice?
WOW! So many new ones, welcome all of you

I've got both but the first one i read was the revised. I later found the original at a thrift store and plan on reading that next.Oh, just that you are just starting out on a wonderful journey.

At least i think.
What does the revised one look like.
Hello everyone!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A college roommate recommended them to me in 2003. Read 1-4 after that, but got sidetracked by life and forgot all about them for a while. This last winter I randomly got the urge to go back and read them all 1-7 - I've tried not to rush up to the end, and I'm finally now reading DT7. Let's just say it's an emotional experience! :/ At least I have the graphic novels lined up to ease the withdrawal a bit.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland of course. But I also love Roland's childhood ka-tet, including Susan, and wish they could have had more 'adventures' together. Oy is also a good one.
What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass. The Gunslinger is up there too, but after revisiting W&G recently I realized how strong of a story it is, even apart from the rest of the series. I come from an Arthurian-literature-obsessed adolescence, so the world of Roland's early life has always touched a chord with me! The friendship between the young gunslingers also feels very real, and knowing more about these times makes Roland even more real and complex as the series goes on.
How old are you?
Just turned 25 today.
Where are you from?
Born in Seattle, live in Bothell, WA.
do you have a nickname?
Ola is technically a nickname for Aleksandra in Polish, but I've never gone by anything else since I was a kid. That's my only 'public' nickname.
Happy Birthday Ola and welcome to the site.

How did you discover the Dark Tower? I started reading King when I was about 6 years old. When DT came out, it was just the next King book to read. I loved it.
Who is your favorite charcter? Besides Roland, it would have to be the sage and eminent junkie, Henry Dean.
What is your favorite book? Overall,probably Starship Troopers by Heinlein. Dont go by the movie, the book is so much better.
