How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Most of my friends had read the series and it came highly recommended.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland by far, the depth of him, the struggle, his quest.
What is your favorite book?
The waste lands, I feel it paints the best pictures of the world "moving on". That and the ride on Blaine the mono was intense.

Hey all, I'm new here, obviously!
I just started the Dark Tower books recently. Been a Stephen King fan for a looong time (got Gerald's Game taken away from me by a teacher in 5th grade, much to the chagrin of my mother), but was just never interested in DT.
Read the Gunslinger a couple months ago and liked it, and then saw on the Stephen King forums last week where someone said, "RUN, don't walk, to get the next ones, and READ THEM all!" and I thought, alright, people love them, they must be good. Picked up drawing of the three and read it in a couple of days, and now I'm racing through The Waste Lands and loving it!!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My mom has been recommending it to me for years.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Unoriginally, it is Roland. I mean, he's a GUNSLINGER, man, and I love his backstory!
What is your favorite book?
I'm only on the third, but so far, The Drawing of the Three was my favorite. I love King's characterizations, and how different and yet completely fleshed out and vivid each character is as we meet them.

Hey Nic, great to meet you. Welcome to the site.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I actually found a bundle with the first three Dark Tower books in an icelandic bookstore and since I usually only had one or two opportunities to find english books a year, I pretty much grapped them instantly (the low price or the interesting pictures/drawings certainly helped).
I guess that was about in uh, 2007 I think
(hell, I damn dream about DT sometimes... usually after an overdose of reading xD)
Who is your favorite charcter?
I'm not sure... by far most characters feel sortof, human.
However I like Roland the most, if not then only because I'm a huge fan of westerns with Clint Eastwood so ya, go figure
What is your favorite book?
This is a tough one but I think Drawing of the Three, Wizard and Glass (which I didn't like at first, felt like it went too slow but... well, it ninja-ed me now) and Wolves of the Calla are some of the best
How old are you?
17, will be 18 in a few months (finally.. living 400km away from your parent and banks and bussinesses still demanding a signed paper from them sucks...).
Where are you from?
Greenland, born in the capitcal city of Nuuk but currently a resident in Sisimiut, second-largest town in Greenland (ya, college and such).
do you have a nickname?
Uh ya, but I'm pretty sure none of you can pronounce it, it's one my grandpa called me the first time he saw me after birth, rather impressive considering he can't speak greenlandic xD
But uh, it's "Usukutaaq", few people know it and well, as far as I'm concerned my grandpa is the only one who can call me that

Hello all,
Just found the site and am glad to discover others that enjoy what I consider to be Mr King's best series of books.
I love alternative history stories and the Dark Tower series mix our world with Roland's in many interesting ways.
I am a published writer (military newpapers and magazines) myself and am always interested in meeting like minded folks.
I have several "dark fiction" stories "in the can" but as Mr King pointed out in his last book of short stories it is hard to get a book of short stories published unless you are an established author.
Looking forward to hanging out on the site.
Welcome to the site, new friends.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I used to read whatever books my dad had finished reading. He got me into King, it was only natural that I would read this one too. I remember reading the Gunslinger when i was about 13 in one day. Instantly transfixed, and really, unfulfilled when it was over.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland is hands down the centerpiece. I liked all the rest, but for some reason, I just never really came around to Susannah much. I don't have a problem with the 'strong willed/powerful woman' character, I just never came around to her. I did like her though, don't get me wrong. The character I liked the LEAST.........HAD to be Stephen King.
What is your favorite book?
The Gunslinger. Close 2nd would be Wizard and Glass.
The Gunslinger is an absolutely brilliant introduction to Roland and his world. It was a little dry in places, and the character of Roland was very mysterious and tough to read at that point, but this is where it all kicked off. And that, in my opinion, makes it the best.
Wizard and Glass, brilliant story. The people of Mejis were some of the best characterizations King's ever done. He put so much into making that entire region and its people real. The love story......blech, but I can at least recognize how important that episode was in building Roland's character.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
An attorney at the law firm I work at noticed one day that I was reading Dreamcatcher during my break. He mentioned The Dark Tower series, and though I was skeptical at first I eventually borrowed some of his audio books/books and fell in love.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Cuthbert- In the circle of people who've read the books that I know I am always compared to him. I am comic relief for my buddies, and I would have it no other way.
What is your favorite book?
I could say the Wizard and Glass due to my character preference, but I really like the Wolves of Calla. It shows the first bits of interaction outside of the ka-tet

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I used to read lots of fantasy and scifi but I was getting a little tired of more or less the same stuff so a friend told me about King's series and I gave The Gunslinger a shot. All the similar elements to the stuff I've read where there but in completely different and engrossing ways.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Roland is probably my favorite but I also really like the cast of Gilead, like his father Steven and Cort. Although they were not in the novels very much their influence is really why Roland is the way he is. I also really like Jake, he can be so childish but at the same time a cold blooded gunslinger, interesting duality.
What is your favorite book?
The Wizard and the Glass followed by the Gunslinger. Mostly those two because they deal with Mid-World alone and from there on they set up the intertwining of the worlds and give background on many of the things that the other ones refer to or deal with either directly or indirectly. I should mention that I have not yet finished the last one, I'm about halfway through it and I should have it finished by this weekend but that one so far is also pretty good. It's pretty hard to pick just one of these great books.
