This year...I am 32. It came at the perfect time in my life for it.
that's excellent Valkyrie. I think this series does find you when you need it.
I was a young shit when I read The Stand in the very early 80s The Gunslinger soon followed. I was hooked. I waited sooooooo long on this damned series!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I was in the 8th grade (13 yrs old) when I got introduced to Roland by a teacher who after thinking about it thought she gave me an idea that would be to much for me to handle. Who knew it would become an adiction that changed my life.Roland and his Ka-tet were my only friends for a while durring a hard time in both school and home, I lived to get to the next book and made it through about one a week at the time even with band practice all the time. I'm about to graduate high school now and I keep a copy of the gunslinger in my car at all times.
You guys are awesome.
Roland would have understood.

CK is a really sweet man. He is so tender.
2 years ago in Iraq my girl friend sent me a box of S.King books including all Dark tower books
what I'd give to have an ipod just for that reason man. I'd do my schoolwork to the Dark TOwer all the time, lol. That is so cool.I have the DT series on my iPod so it is with me at all times.
Aye lady, you say true.
CK finds a way to stump me in trivia quite a bit though.
As I said in another thread, I listened to DT7 all the way to Michigan from Colorado and back (lasted almost the whole trip).
iPods rule! I can hook mine up so it plays through my radio. It made a two day drive a lot of fun.

I started reading the DT last November and finished the series in January. I wish I could have started reading the story when I was younger, but I guess every story has it's "time". PLus, considering the time gaps between each book, I feel bad for the ones who had to wait between each volume. That would have driven me crazy.
It almost did. Especially between The Wastelands and Wizard and Glass.PLus, considering the time gaps between each book, I feel bad for the ones who had to wait between each volume. That would have driven me crazy.
