How did you discover the Dark Tower? A few years ago I was bored at school and started reading The Shining from a friend, then I met SK and started reading everything that I can from him.
Who is your favorite charcter? Callahan, of course. I hadn't read Salem's Lot before reading the DT series, but he has always been my favourite character since his appearance in Wolves of the Calla. I also like the teenager Roland. His innocence is somewhat fascinating.
What is your favorite book? I think it's a tie between Wizard and Glass and The Dark Tower. The Mejis part was great, but it could have been shorter. Callahan' scene in the Dixie Pig was also really awesome, so I can't really pick only one book.
How old are you? 15
Where are you from? Brazil
do you have a nickname? DlGuiga is my nickname
Welcome DlGuiga.......15yrs old wow!! to be young again....
I believe I've read every SK published book, several 2-3 times. DT, Salems lot, Pet semetary , Dead zone, Desperation, The stand, IT and recenty Blaze are my favorites.... I like to re-read the books and watch the movies just after to see how closley they match..
My first book was Pet Semetary given to me by my cousin when I lived in Michigan, I remember waiting to go see the film at the theater the day it was released , 1989 I think...
Again welcome..

Wow, it's been years since I did the message board thing, but I couldn't help myself. Mostly because... well... It's a Stephen King message board! I'm a huge fan and have been since I was 13 (I'm now 27, so that gives you an idea of how long) when I first read "The Langoliers". And yeah, been hooked ever since.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I used to buy all my books used from this little (albeit crappy) used bookstore locally. This was back when owning every Stephen King book under the sun was paramount. I had heard of his more famous works, but then I found this lonely, beat-up book called The Gunslinger. I'd never even heard of it, but I wanted to give it a chance, and I was immediately entranced by this bizarre, western/sci-fi/fantasy world. And Roland, too, of course. Heh.
Who is your favorite character?
Eddie. What can I say? I love the funny guys. They always instantly win my heart.
What is your favorite book?
In the series or of King overall? I'll answer both! While I have a great deal of affection for all the Dark Tower books, The Wastelands was by far my favorite. I just love the crazy monsters in that one, as well as how close the ka-tet instantly became.
As for his books otherwise? It definitely takes the top spot.
How old are you?
*points above* 27
Where are you from?
I'm a paranoid type who likes to be vague about that. The southern US. Because of that, it doesn't matter how much I know the characters in King's books are typically from New England... I always hear a Southern accent in my head. Silly, yes. Can I help it? No.
do you have a nickname?
Not really. But if you want to come up with something besides "Mrs. Underwood" (is it obvious I loved Larry from The Stand?), then that's fine. So long as it's not an insult. :p
Mrs. Underwood, welcome to the site.
Your av is kickass.
Roland would have understood.
WELCOME

Intro
Long time SK fan. Started re-reading DT this winter since there wasn't much else to do. Now I'm obsessed all over again. So... here I am.
This just caught my eye.... It's a headline in the New York Law Journal today...
"Estate's Lawsuit Proceeds Against Rare Book Dealer Over Unsold Lot"
I wonder if the book dealer's name is Tower...?
Bizarre huh?
That is weird.
Welcome to the site trig, nice to meet you.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Introduction
Howdy.
I began the DT series about 15 years ago (or something like that, its been long enough I do not remember so well). I already loved King, read the Stand during detention in 9th grade in 1984 and was hooked. I don't know how I found The Gunslinger but was hooked right away. Funny though, I can't seem to get through the last one. I'm stuck about half way through. Anyone else have this happen in DT7?
Teenage Roland is my favorite character and Drawing of the Three is my favorite in the series.
Will be 41 in May and live in Wyoming (there's more antelope here than people!).
Looking forward to making a few DT friends!
Ken

Thanks!
Hey everybody. This is my first post here.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I've been reading Stephen King since I was a kid, but I didn't have much interest in the Dark Tower series until I happened to pick up The Eyes of the Dragon one day. I really liked the fantasy element, so I decided the give The Gunslinger a try.
Who is your favorite character?
Eddie's pretty great, and Oy, of course. And for some reason I ended up enjoying Mia, too.
What is your favorite book?
The Wastelands and Wizard and Glass are my favorites of the series; The Shining is my favorite Stephen King book; and The Grapes of Wrath is my favorite book of all time.
How old are you?
24.
Where are you from?
Spokane, Washington.
Do you have a nickname?
Nope.

Almost a quarter of the way through the Dark Tower (Book 7.) Sad part just passed by.

Hey folks, first post here, will probably kill many hours pouring over the site while bored at work... so here I am
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Big Fantasy fan, never read much of Stephen King's work before until I was looking for something to read and remembered a friend saying how much they enjoyed the Dark Tower. Just finished reading them for the third time.
Who is your favorite character?
Tough call, I like Cuthbert and Eddie the most I think. I like Cort too and wish there was more on Roland's youth I could sink my teeth into.
What is your favorite book?
Of this series definitely Wizard and Glass.
All time is either The Dice Man - Luke Reinhart or The Godfather - Mario Puzo
How old are you?
