Seeing as he has written more the 43 other novels then the DT series I'm sure you could find something to read.
Even if you are not interestsed in anything but DT there are more then a few that have tie in's to DT. Check out Bev Vincent's The Road to the Dark Tower for them all.
The Talisman and Black House are 2 biggies, The Stand also, even The Eyes of the Dragon. Lots more to read from him.
Hello! I'm Michael, and I'm on my first read through of the Dark Tower. Currently only about halfway through WotC, but hoping to have it finished (along with #6) by the end of the year.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Hmm, hard to say. I'm a *huge* fantasy nut, and I was on a forum I hang out on and asked what to look into, and the Dark Tower came up. Now, I'd heard of King and read maybe one or two of his books, but I'd never heard of the Dark Tower. So, I went and got the first one, and I've been hooked since.
Who is your favorite character?
Oh, wow... I think Jake is a very interesting character, as is Eddie. But I'd have to say Oy. I'm not a huge fan of Susannah, well... I didn't mind Odetta, I really didn't like Detta, I'm OK with Suse and Mia is just odd.
What is your favorite book?
In the series? Probably 2 or 3. I didn't really like 4, to be honest.
Otherwise? Very hard to say, but I'm gonna go with the Hobbit.
How old are you?
The grand ol' age of 19Sadly, I'm 20 in 3 weeks.
Where are you from?
England!
do you have a nickname?
Not really.
Own Question : Thoughts on King?
He's a pretty good writer. His work isn't complicated (*cough*Tolkein*cough*), so I get through it quick enough. My only real problems with him is he can describe a little too much (Example: Susannah's 'lady time', but I think that's more social taboo than being rude), or maybe go a bit far with the swearing - Like Detta in DotT. I really, really enjoyed Eyes of the Dragon, though.
Ohhh... so many new faces since my last visit here. We are all well met, be warmly welcome!

Hi All,
Great site!!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was reading the Stephen King and Peter Straub book, Black House, which I am sure many of you know holds many references to The Dark Tower books and the themes which run throughout it. After reading this I just had to read The Dark Tower. I started about 2 months ago and have now almost finished The Wastelands.
Who is your favorite charcter?
I havent finished yet so I dont know who else I will meet along the way but part of me wants to say Roland as he is pretty much the coolest character ever but I really like Eddie Dean so I will have to say him!
What is your favorite book?
I have only read the first three but from those I would say The Wastelands.
How old are you?
24
Where are you from?
Born and raised in Essex, England but now live in Lille, France.
do you have a nickname?
Yeah, one I got at 8 years of age and I have never been able to shake it!!! Moley!!
