Hi! I'm SAMSARA. I'm a 17-year-old student from Midwest US.
I just started getting into Stephen King, thanks to a friend of mine; I began with The Gunslinger and was hooked from the onset. Now I'm on The Waste Lands.
Welcome!!! and keep reading!

Wow! Thanks so much for saying that. I always believe we have that stuff going for us but it's nice to get confirmation.I really LOVE this website, it has one of the best overviews of King collectibles I've come across, great collection threads, and great threads on the DT series and SK in general. But what I like the best is the friendly, warm, and welcoming atmosphere of these boards. Well done!
Welcome to the site, I hope you continue to enjoy it. We love it here.

Hi! I'm Patrick, of New York. Currently reading the 7th book. I actually just started reading King about a year ago, beginning with The Stand, but already he's among my favorite authors. And the Dark Tower books are definitely my favorites, possibly my favorite books of all time.
Anyway, hi!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Ummm... My Friend who tends never to lead me astray when it comes to books told me to read it and needless to say I did.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland, as many people before me have said he is a fantastic character and due to King's brilliant mind he is quite possibly the best character in any book I've read. I'm also gonna say Cort, because of the way he does things and his apparent amazing skill at riddling (the ability to think sideways eludes me).
What is your favorite book?
Ummm.. Truthfully I haven't finished then all yet but I believe that Wizard and Glass would be my favorite
How old are you?
17
Where are you from?
Perth, WA
do you have a nickname?
Tree
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I read The Stand, and then I was looking for other King books...and found The Gunslinger. Instantly, I was smitten.
Who is your favorite character?
Cuthbert, and Eddie. Sarcastic gunslingers with weird senses of humor win, haha.
What is your favorite book?
Wolves of the Calla
How old are you?
19
Where are you from?
New York, New York.
do you have a nickname?
Nope not really.
NINETEEN! Just the right age, just the right..And you're also from New York. Something is definitely going on... :p
Warmly welcome, always happy to find people who love Cuthbert and Eddie like I do!

Welcome aboard, LeadDealer and Deschain! You're gonna love this board! Nicest members on any board ever! Statistical fact!*
*From what i learned in my statistics lessons that basically means make up anything you like and hope people don't question it!
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

My brother introduced me to The Dark Tower Series when I was in 6th grade. I read each book as it became available to me until the very last one. The last book took me longer to finish than the others ever did. I'm not sure why because I really liked it. I should have finished it in record time. I suppose with a wife and two little ones, it was harder to find time to read again. Anyway, Roland is obviously the best character because he is the center of attention but secondly I choose Eddie Dean. However, it is very difficult to choose one character from a series of books that depicts its charactrers so well.
Stephen King was the first author that I really enjoyed reading. Since the Dark Tower Series however I have read many books and I still say, the guy knows how to captivate a reader and plunge him/her into the story better than most.
The Wastelands is probably my favorite book of the series, however, I was very impressed in how King ended the story in the last book. He does have a history of not ending stories in a fashion that everyone can enjoy, but this one was done perfectly. In my mind, there was no other way to end such an epic journey.
I am very anxious to see the movie(s). Most of the movies made from Kings' stories fall short of my expectations, but I am hopeful for The Dark Tower Series. Even if it sucks, you can bet your ass I will watch it to the end so I can formulate my opinions and discuss with other Dark Tower Junkies.
Long live the King!
