Hello! I've been lurking for a couple of months. Maybe longer, I cant remember if i lurked before i actually joined or not. anyway, i figured it was time to show my face.
How did you discover the Dark Tower? My mom bought me the first three when i was younger. i think i was under 14, but i cant really remember. Either way, i had to wait for Wizard and Glass and thought I'd die before it came out.
Who is your favorite character? Oy! and Jake. and Callahan.
What is your favorite book? Wolves of the Calla
How old are you? 29
Where are you from? Texas
do you have a nickname? blitzen i suppose
Random stuff:
Least favorite dark tower book: Wizard and Glass. Everyone seems to love it, but i only like the beginning and end. The story of Susan and all that shouldve been a separate book in my opinion. (it was, and still is on re-reads) hard to switch gears from Topeka then back to Topeka. I liked both stories, it was just that they didn't (for lack of a better word) merge right. I didn't want to read the back story, i was totally caught up in them being in Topeka, then I got in to the back story and didn't want to switch back. it felt jarring.
Other random fact: I suck at capitalizing letters, I try and remember so as not to annoy people, but i mostly ignore it. I suck at spelling, but spell check is awesome. so no worries there.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
As long as I can remember, my mom's favorite author was Stephen King. So when I started to read for pleasure instead of just school, even though I never actually read the school books, King was my first choice. I started "simply" with the Tommyknockers. I remembered seeing the tv movie series and being really scared, so I fugred why not start there. After getting to be a huge King fan, I took on the Dark Tower. Changed my life.
Who is your favorite charcter?
The gunslingers of course. No one stood out more than the other. They were like my best friends while I read the book. Even started saying Thankee Sai.
What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass. Thought he Drawing of the Three was a close second. Meeting the characters was great, but learning some history about Roland and his former Ka tet was great. Also learning a liottle about the wizard's rainbow was pretty cool.
How old are you?
25
Where are you from?
Charleston, SC currently. St. Louis, Mo originally.
do you have a nickname?
SCUBA Steve and Red

I come in peace ... No really, I do. I swear. Just wanted to read thoughts and news regarding the movies/tv show. To those who don't care for me, I'll keep to myself. For those of you who do, hello. Sorry for any past troubles, I'm here for the tower, not heat.
^^^^ I am good with all that and welcome, but can you tell me how to pronounce your forum name???

Hello
Hi,
i couldn't see where to post a quick hello, so here I am!
Started reading the Dark Tower books around 7 years ago and was lucky most of the books were out so didn't have a wait between books like the vetern beam followers.
2 years agao I got half way through the last book, but put it down (maybe I didn't want the journey to finish!?). Anyway finished the last book yesterday and have mixed feelings of the ending, but excited of the news of:
- alternative ending - new book - 3 movies and TV series!
I book the first 7 Marvel comics as well, but have not read.
I just hope and pray the TV series does it justice and does not get cancelled! Has the potential to be epic as long as someone of the quality of HBO (Boardwalk Empire, Soprano's, Wire..et) pick it up!
Hello from England, theres a door here as well!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
An English teacher's recommendation in the 10th grade.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Eddie.
What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass or Song of Susannah
How old are you?
21
Where are you from?
Green Bay, WI, US
do you have a nickname?
Ripo, for a kind of dumb reason XD
As an aside, a friend and I are trying to figure out how the Beams would lie on our map (where they would lie in our world). Part of the confusion comes from the fact that it's implied that Mid-world/End-world is flat. So would the beams lie tangential to our world? Or would they wrap around the globe?
Hi guys and gals!!
I've had trouble with the account I had registered here, but I guess I haven't posted much anyway, so I think I should change that! My name is Hans by the way.
So, first, to answer the questions everyone else does:
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A friend of mine, who also made me discover Stephen King's books in generally, has bought Hardcover editions of DT 1-3, and he wondered if I'd like to buy the Paperbacks from him. Luckily i did. Since then, I became addicted to DT, registered at the largest german Stephen King Fansite, (as "Roland of Gilead") a short while after I became Moderator in their Forum. That was sometime about 2002 I think. Well, that's the story.
Who is your favorite character?
Roland.
What is your favorite book?
Tough. I'd say The Waste Lands. (close followed by Drawing of the three)
How old are you?
To old to remember my age.
Nah, I'm 28 so far.
Where are you from?
Germany, near Cologne.
do you have a nickname?
Yeah, apart from a few swearwords I hear they use to call me "Big William" (second name plus I'm not tiny)
Further questions, feel free to ask.
PS: That lady in my Avatar is Katie Melua, A musican I like. That fella next to her there is myself.
Hi hwvw23,

Hello, greetings, and I hope we are well metMy name's Sandy.
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I found a battered copy of The Wizard & Glass in my local Library sometime in the summer of 1999. Not realising it was part if a series, but loving every book previously read by King, I read on. Even though I was a wee bit confused, I was hooked! It wasn't until I found The Gunslinger in a second hand shop some months later, that it all made sense. I was obsessed from there!
Who is your favorite character? This is a toughie! I think not only does it depend on the book I'm reading, it also depends on the mood I am in at the time. At the moment, I'm reading The Waste Lands, so it is Jake. Outside of the Ka-tet, it would be Susan-sai.
What is your favorite book? Wizard & Glass! The first book I read, and still holds a place in my heart.
How old are you? A woman never discloses this....but I'm 29
Where are you from? Small country in the UK, called Wales.
Do you have a nickname? Not really
Anyhoo, I wish you all long days and pleasant nights. And may you all find luck on the path of the beam

Thanks Cook, for the kind welcome. I look forward to many hours of chatting about a subject very close to my heart

Welcome everyone!
Hmm...without you saying who you were we don't know if we liked you or not. LOL Anyhow, the past is just that for a reason.
Well, glad you cleared it up, I thought you pronounced it "Bob" like the fellow in MIB II. Anyhoo, Welcome!Richard ... obviously.
Beams exist as roses in our world, not beams, so they grow towards the sunlight I think. I could be wrong about that tho'
And now you have us curious about the origin of your nick name.
Welcome!
HI Hans!
