Hello! I"m a 40 y.o. female from Western Mass. ((Go Sox!!))
I have been a King fan since I can remember.
I had tried reading The Gunslinger years ago and I didn't really dig it that much ((Please don't beat me up!)).
Recently I bought the first 4, followed soon after by the last 3.
I read until all hours of the morning....can't put the books down....
Late for work because of this.
I don't really have a fav. book/character yet. I mean, how do you NOT love Roland and Jake and Oy?
Looking forward to Palaver.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, thanks for the welcomes, guys.
I hadn't realised there were so many books with references to The Dark Tower. Interesting stuff!
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.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A friend recommended it to me a few years ago, right before I went into the army, and I didn't get a chance to read it until recently (I just finished Wolves of the Calla, started on Song of Susannah)
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland! I'm in love with this man! (So far) All the other girls can have their frilly Sparkly guys, but I love this gunslinger! lol
What is your favorite book?
So far, I think the wastelands, but i'm not sure I could really pick.
How old are you?
23, as of yesterday, actually.
Where are you from?
I'm from a very small town in Eastern KY (Don't believe everything you see on TV about this place, Children of the Mountains was absolutely retarded, and I think someone should sue Barbra Walters for putting something like that on the air.)
do you have a nickname?
Well, my name is Elizabeth, so I have a lot, Beth is the most common, and I quite like it!
Welcome, Beth and Happy Belated Birthday!

Hello everyone!
Thanks for having me! I am a HUGE Dark Tower fan and was excited to find this forum. Well, I am a HUGE Roland fan. LOL I think it's great that everyone is here having a great time talking about an amazing set of books in a frightening and adventurous universe!
To answer the questions you asked:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Well, I can't remember the year. Probably the late 80's early 90's - something like that. I checked out the Dark Tower: The Gunslinger from the Library and LOVED the illustrations. I read the book and while it scared me, I enjoyed it and was OBSESSED by the time I had finished the Drawing of the Three - which is probably my favorite story. At least, it's SO EXCITING! The doors.... haha What a fun book! Scary, but fun.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland is my favorite character. He is flawed and would sacrifice ANYTHING to get to the Tower, but he is the best. I always picture him as me - how geeky is that!!!??
What is your favorite book?
Drawing of the Tree is probably the best book, if short, in my opinion. Song of Susannah is the one book I will never read again. I thought it was terrible. I just LOVE the excitement of the Drawing of the Three!
How old are you?
I'm in my 30's - married, with kids, and a Grad Student. I'm going to be a Teacher, Early Childhood Ed.
Where are you from?
I'm from Arkansas. Probably will move to San Fran when we finish our Graduate studies.
do you have a nickname?
When your name is Chuck, it's really pointless to have a nickname! haha But I do have a few geeky hobbies. I enjoy replica movie props, reading and studying the film making process, and Star Trek and Star Wars. I LOVE reading.
I also am HEAVILY involved in local charity work, and I believe that Charity work is our duty to other needy human beings. Most people tend to agree with me, just choose to do nothing to help. But thats for another post.
Anyway, I am SO happy to be here with other Roland and Tower fans. I look forward to meeting you all and saying hello!
Thanks again!
----Chuck
Welcome Chuck!
Welcome you all.
Roland would have understood.
