Welcome chichuOriginally Posted by blavigne
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I read everything by Stephen King. It is strange because the first time I picked up The Gunslinger in the late 1980's I didn't even finish it. I didn't want to read a "cowboy story". Several years later after Wizard and Glass came out (must have been in the late 1990's) I bought and read all four but still it didn't have a lot of impact. Then my son read them all last year and refused to tell me the ending. He definitely got hooked and even bought some of the comics. He gave me the series on audio book for my birthday this past August. I travel by car a lot for work so I have quite a bit of time to listen. I was so enthralled from the first word that I went and bought the entire series in paperback and devoured them all. I am just finishing Wizard and Glass on audio. I have not thought through what is different this time but I am now obsessed with it. I love this board. What great thoughts. I have been lurking for awhile but sometimes I want to respond so I decided to join.

Welcome home blavigne! If you are on WaG be very very careful with spoilers. They are everywhere.
Long days and pleasant nights.
Roland would have understood.
Thank you so much Letti. I have to say this place feels like home to me. I have great friends and family but to my dismay no DT junkies like me. It can be a lonely obsession if you have no one who is truly interested to share it with. Thanks to all of you for being here, my heart has found a home, I hope to be here with you all for a long, long time through countless re-reads, the movies and beyond. Welcome everyone to my little corner of the world. Come in, let's have a little palaver...........

Hello all:
I'm Bob LeDrew, a King fan, Dark Tower fan, and Stephen King podcaster from Ottawa, Ontario.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I read everything King writes, so at some point I came upon this weird tale called "The Gunslinger." And that was it.
Who is your favorite character?
Geez, that's hard. I have a soft spot for John Cullum, that's for sure. Anyone who can go from small-town caretaker to leading the fight against Discordia is a mighty man. And I also like Aaron Deepneau. But in terms of main characters, I'm an Eddie guy.
What is your favorite book?
Dark Tower? I think either "The Waste Lands" or "Wizard and Glass". In general? God. It's like picking your favorite molecule -- oxygen or nitrogen? They're both necessary for survival.
How old are you?
44. And counting.
Where are you from?
Grew up in a town in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where we were treated to Eddie Driscoll on WLBZ out of Bangor introducing "Weird 2" on Sunday nights until they switched over to Detroit for the American TV networks and we got an endless string of gang murders. Now live in Ottawa, Canada's national capital.
Do you have a nickname?
My partner calls me "Dude." (She's not a King fan, so it's not for Randall Flagg) That's about it.
I've been reading Stephen King for years. Always liked to brag that I had every novel. I was scared at first to read the series because of the fantasy/western theme.So I put the books away.Every year at christmas my brother would buy me a new book and he'd say.Have you read them yet? lol. So finally after years of his urging I started them this spring. I am now on the 7th book and am totally obsessed. Can't get enough.Kicking myself that I waited this long.
My favorite character is definalty Susannah.
My favorite book is the Drawing of the Three
I am 33 yrs old. I am from Fredericton,Nb Canada.
You can call me Roxanne

Hi all.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Just have got an advice from my friend to read "at least one part, "The Gunslinger". Read everything in a month recently. Made a trailer for "Dark Tower" a couple of days ago, so all the elements of my perception of the book anyone can see on youtube))

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A girl I knew in junior high was a Stephen King fan, and I got my parents' written permission to check Firestarter out of the restricted section of the school library to impress her. It didn't work, but by the time I finished the book that didn't matter. I was hooked, and a dozen King novels later I started the Dark Tower.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland
What is your favorite book?
The Gunslinger. I was disappointed the first time I read it and gave up on the Dark Tower in favor of more 'classic' King. I reread it at the insistence of my English teacher and fellow King fanatic, but the second time something clicked. I finished the series a month later, but the first book has never left my mind.
How old are you?
18
Where are you from?
Florida
Do you have a nickname?
Voozle will do it. I look forward to meeting everyone!

I started reading TDT when I picked up The Gunslinger off the floor of my sister's room and thought it looked interesting. I was far from disappointed.
