    Hile!! Carl, son of Phillip here. Thought I'd join the forum for some discussion of the dark tower series, so um....Hi!!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?: A bit of an odd one really, as an avid fan of the series LOST, I use to go on some forums, and this one guy said there was a few similarity's to the dark tower. So I started reading them, got hooked, fell in love and am glad that I took the journey as Ka-Tet.

    Who is your favorite charcter?: Cutchburt, just for being happy

    What is your favorite book?: The Last Gunslinger. I love Wizard and Glass, but I think the first one still has me encapsulated, with Rolands story of defeating Cort, to MiB explanation of the multiverse, simply brilliant.

    How old are you?: ??

    Where are you from? UK

    How did you discover the Dark Tower? Got Drawing of the Three in middle school. First Grant/limited edition and was hooked.

    Who is your favorite character? Depends on the book, sometimes it's Roland, sometimes Eddie.

    What is your favorite book? There's a tender place in my heart for Drawing because it was my first but I also liked The Gunslinger and Wizard.

    How old are you? 40

    Where are you from? Pacific NW

    Do you have a nickname? Don't like them

    Hi Folks!
    No longer the lurker and hopes to be a contributor. I stumbled on this website a couple of months ago and it has provided such a wealth of knowledge and experiences with other fans and collectors. I'm pretty sure this forum is responsible for me plunking down money for a limited Doctor Sleep and signed Joyland. So as much as the forum is a detriment to my wallet its been fun reading a lot of the threads and posts.

    I wouldn't call myself a collector, I have lots of books but I'm more quantity versus quality (ie: the signed limiteds). I started reading King when I was 9, IT had been out for a little while and I found the cover art really grabbing. I had this thought if I could read a book that big I'd be in a sophisticated league of readers and way ahead of my fellow students in school. Those years when you want to grow up too fast right. So I went to the local library, got IT, read I think most of it, completely confused about the bulk of the story and wow did I learn some new language that would have my father taking my hide off for using (I refrained of course). Then I went to Gunslinger because ever since I was a kid I always had an admiration for wild west and this seemed like one in a sense. Read that one and stopped there.

    So a few years pass, was reading more Asimov and crazy UFO books back in the Unsolved Mysteries days when that stuff was cool. A friend of my family had fallen ill, his eyes were failing him so he donated his books to me, they were a bunch of King books which had me excited. They were also full of Koontz paperbacks. I start reading some of his old stories and get just as attached as I did with some of Kings. Ever since both have been a huge space in my library. And of course since then I've added new authors that come up and dabbled other genres such as crime fiction.

    My library is at about 780 hardcovers, growing constantly, not able to keep up of course but that is the joy of it all I find. My excuse to the wife is that I am saving for retirement and right now its all about collect and reflect and read what you can. I really look forward to the day when I pass 1000.

    I look forward to participating in more threads, catch some sales (totally missed some books in the classifieds I'm kicking myself over), and by the way good to see some fellow Canadians on the board eh.

    Cheers,
    Highbury

    You say you're not a collector, but you seem to have a great number of books. Please, let's see some pics in the Collections thread.

    Hello Everyone,
    My names Randy, I live near Anchorage Alaska and I'm glad to be here. I ended up finding this site because I was just starting to collect Stephen King just a few months ago and was looking for something Dark Tower related on Google. I ended up here and read tons of posts and learned a ton. I was probably 1/2 way through Wastelands at that time. I didn't know that I was turning into a collector but I did know I couldn't put down my books about Roland and his ka-tet. Anyway I ended up getting into a little tree cutting accident that broke my back and so about all I can do is sit on my laptop while I heal (and wait to go back to my job in a medical related field) and learn about King Collecting, Cruise through Ebay and basically putz around online since I was confined mostly to a hospital bed or recliner. Well then Shannon announced he was going to have his sale and I had to have 5 posts in order to send him a PM. The rest is history, I joined, contributed some posts, spent some money with Shannon and got some stuff I needed and now I pretty much have been logged in ever since, although that will change when I go back to work in 2 weeks. I've met a few people and I have yet to find someone who wouldn't help answer a question or point me in the right direction. Everyone is super cool! It looks like everyone answers the same questions so I'll run through them......

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and loved the trilogy so I searched around for something else in a series to read. I like to read series otherwise I read through a single book to fast and I'm looking for something new. I had a paperback copy of the Gunslinger, saw there was 7 books in the series, read the intro and dove in.... Read it in a week and luckily had the next one so just kept on going. I'm still going. I found a list on this site that does a great job of laying out the King books in order they should be read for relevance to the DT... Cool, I have more to read.

    Who is your favorite character?
    Roland by far....


    What is your favorite book?
    I want to say Wolves of the Calla but it could easily be Gunslinger or Drawing of the Three


    How old are you?
    44 going on 30

    Where are you from?
    I've been in Alaska for 7 years. Came here from Idaho where I spent most my life.

    Do you have a nickname?
    just call me Randy

    Welcome Randy!!!

    You will find lots of stuff to read from our great author. I don't know if you like to reread books but if you do you will find new things of interest each time. So many of his books have links or tie ins to his other work it is fun finding them all. Not all the links are DT related, but it's still fun to see them.

    Glad you were able to get some stuff from Shannon's sale too.

    Hello, everyone! I'm Eric and I'm new here, but it's refreshing (and somewhat exhilarating) to find people who are Stephen King fans. I've been reading his books since I was 12, and sorry to say that I don't know many people who are big fans, so I'd like to get to know you folks if that's alright
