Welcome, Fearless! How far are you in the series?
John
i have reached the tower at long last
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I've been a Stephen King fan for years before the Dark Tower series began.
Who is your favorite charcter? It's all about Roland, right? But I kind of like Jake too. Although I think King has difficulty with child characters.
What is your favorite book? I haven't read the 7th book yet and am re-reading the first six before I do. So far I'd say it's The Drawing of the Three.
How old are you? Quite
Where are you from? Willmar, Minnesota
Do you have a nickname? Yes

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Was later getting to this series, I was 21 I believe when I read The Gunslinger. For some reason I got sidetracked
and never followed up. I then came back to the series after the last couple books were published. I'm currently
reading the third book of the series. I'm not sure there is anything except this series and Eyes of the Dragon by King,
that I have not read. I'm also sure some King fans would read this and be like "Dude...you haven't read the
Dark Tower series yet?" Hey, I'm getting there. I love stories that can take things from this world and put
a spin or emphasis on them in another, so suffice to say I'm really, really enjoying it so far! First King book I
read was The Dead Zone when I was 15.
Who is your favorite character?
A toss-up, and I'm only barely halfway through the journey but I'd have to say I like Eddie. We can all identify with
people we know that seem like him. I like how the new world is kind of giving him a fresh start of sorts...even if
his final desintation may still be the same. I'm excited to see where his journey goes and how his character
and old habits are challenged.
What is your favorite book? Well in the series, I liked #2 a LOT, but again I'm just halfway through the third
one. Overall from SK, Christine, The Dead Zone, and The Stand are all faves I return to now and again. I believe
the only King book I was really disappointed in was 'It came from a Buick 8'. Non-supernatural based ones from his
catalog such as Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and The Body are also timeless treasures in story telling.
I also really liked The Long Walk and others he did under the Bachman name.
How old are you?
37
Where are you from?
The Pacific Northwest
do you have a nickname?
Country (given to me by my city friends in the workplace years ago) because I hail from a rural area whose vast,
beautiful landscape could still be the setting for any Western film.
Add note: I'm looking forward to corresponding with people here about the Dark Tower and King's stories
in general.
Welcome both dwilkows and Country!
Please feel free to post often!

Welcome you two! Make yourselves at home.
Welcome Country!!
Don't feel bad about not getting to TDT until now, it took me many years to finally get through the series and that wasn't until I was over 40 and had been reading King for 20 of them.

Thank you Christine, and everyone!
Hello everyone!
Firstly it's about time that I joined a Dark Tower forum. It was by a complete accident that I discovered The Dark Tower series. And what a discovery it was. My wife always complains that I never buy her anything, so whilst at a book shop early last year I was visually intrigued by this new book by Stephen King called The Wind through the keyhole. I had no idea what it was about, only that the cover looked great. So I purchased the book and gave it to my wife. Now my wife is very particular when it comes to books, she is a big reader and will read everything. But she will only read a book when she chooses to read it. So this book that I so thoughtfully bought her was left lying around for a couple of weeks unread. That's when I picked it up and decided to give it a go myself. And what a decision that was. I was encapsulated from the off. The wind through the keyhole was a great way to begin my journey to the tower( though I know it was in the middle ). The whole series is just one big emotional roller coaster and I swallowed up every book. My favourite book has to be Wizard & Glass. What an incredible book!!!
I genuinely feel like I'm emotionally connected to everything that is the dark tower. I am also in hope that it will one day be put on the big screen like so many of king's other books. I know it would be a huge project, but this is King's crowning glory and it has to be shared with everyone!!
Welcome to the site. Spend some time checking out the entire site.
Love the name, Lucid. Welcome!
Welcome Lucid!! I'm with Stebbins here, great name!!
A couple things you should know if you didn't notice them already, you can't post pics or links until you have 5 posts.
I think TWTTK is a great place to start the story really, since it's mostly back story anyway. I hope your wife gets around to reading it someday.
