    Hi people!

    Where did I find out about DT:

    I was working in a bookstore at the time and I came across TDotT, it was in english (noone translated DT in slovenian yet) and I didn't have the time nor interest to read it, especially becouse I saw that it was "part II" written on it, and I thought that it wouldn't be interesting if I haven't read the 1st part. But a few months later my roommate bought me that very book for my birthday, I read it and I was most amused. Ka, I guess
    My favorite character:

    Cort

    My favorite DT book:

    TDotT

    How old am I:

    I'm 22

    Where are you from:

    I'm from a small town of Vuzenica, Slovenia

    Do you have any nicknames:

    Grothorious or Stormblist on the net

    Some more things about me:

    I still haven't read the whole story (I'm reading WotC at the moment) becouse no bookstore here has the other books and I have to order them from US of A or England, but I'll get there eventually

    I'm a King fan since I read Pet Cemetary at the age of 10. Just like Sabrina I smoke a lot of pot and read tons of books, and I'm happy to see that at least some folks is still "old fashioned" enough to read.

    answer any or all and add your own questions.



    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    Who is your favorite charcter?

    What is your favorite book?

    How old are you?

    Where are you from?

    do you have a nickname?


    My friend gave me a copy of The gunslinger when I was in the 9th grade, I returned it because although I love SK the book I thought at the time was so boring, I found a copy of the drawing of the three last summer and loved it, it,it made reading the gunslinger much better.

    Eddie Dean is by far the best.

    dunno if i've done this before, but here goes:

    How did you discover the Dark Tower? well, that's an easy one. my brother, whom most of you know as the Great Sage and Eminent Junkie Brice, was into SK long before i was ever even allowed to think about it. When I got older and got our mom to bog down and get me a copy of The Stand, Brice, in turn, gave me the original DT Trilogy box set, i think for my birthday or maybe xmas or somethin like that. of course i was already familiar with The Gunslinger, having purchased the paperback copy on my own prior, and dove into it like Michael Phelps at the Olympics. The rest is history.

    Who is your favorite character? Eddie. He's the one i can most easily identify with. Roland yes is the classic vigilante a la Eastwood, and Susannah and Jake were equally well brought to life, but I can't really relate to them. I can identify with emulating older sibs, wanting their attention and to please them, and above all else, being a stone cold junkie half my life. And of course, the heroic manner in which Eddie overcame it all.

    What is your favorite book? Song of Susannah? No, I guess Wizard and Glass actually. I did enjoy SoS due to its abundance of action from first line to last, and the history of End-World etc etc; the dual climax. But Wizard and Glass really put life into Roland. before that, he was just any other cardboard cutout stereotype with a presumed motive that all was too typical. hearing his tale of Susan and the Big Coffin Hunters really made me feel a pain that I've never known before because it made him somehow more human than most of us act in reality.

    How old are you? at current point in time, 27.

    Where are you from? born in Norfolk, VA; been all over really. haven't really established any roots per se.

    do you have a nickname? none that i actively answer to.

    Hi everyone, just finished the series moments ago and needed to find people to talk to about it. I've been avoiding anything on the internet about the series for fear of being spoiled (only got spoiled twice... one not so bad, the other kinda sucked)

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I had bought Book 1 years ago and never got around to reading it, so after reading through Harry Potter and then His Dark Materials, I was up for another series and tried again with The Gunslinger. I felt it was a little too slow for my liking, but I pushed through and tried The Drawing of the Three and was hooked.

    Who is your favorite character?
    Probably Jake. And Oy.

    What is your favorite book?
    I read Song of Susannah faster than anything I've ever read in my life and loved every second of it. Drawing of the Three is a close second.

    How old are you?
    Not quite 30 yet.

    Where are you from?
    Originally from Staten Island, NY. Currently residing in Springfield, NJ.

    do you have a nickname?
    no, but my screen name is pronounced Chimichanga.
