    I pretended to forget about the DT books and go on with life as usual. Alas, it worked only once: between books 1 and 2.

    Oh, and I had "twice the fun" waiting: first I had to wait for books to be written and published, and then on top of that to find someone to bring me a copy across (sometimes multiple) border(s).

    I just waited until the next one was released, read the previous one(s) again and then the new one. I did that up until WOTC (which I disliked very much, OK, I hated it), and after that just read them as they were released, hating all the rest of them.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    I love a good cliffhanger ending. Didn't bother me a bit. Just made me want to read it again.

    I pretended that all the stuff that wasn't as awesome as the DT series (nearly everything) was distracting me; it wasn't. The waits fuckin' killed me.

    I hear ya, Bev!!!! I started the series in like 1983. One thing that did help was identifying DT related material before he started indicating and then well after he indicated it, it was easier to choose what to read first, as I recall!!!

    Hello Fellow Fans,

    How Did you discover the dark tower?
    I was introduced to the dark tower series by a high school acquaintance, but never really payed to much into it, it wasn't until a few years later a good friend of mine suggested it to me and i gave it another try. I'm currently in the process of finishing it and enjoying every minute of it.

    Who is your favorite character?
    I would definitely have to say I mostly enjoy listen to Callihian, (though my spelling is not one of my strong points) I love hearing his back story and the banter between him and fellow characters amusing me.

    What is your favorite book?
    Well i just recently got into reading, I was never much one to stay intrigued into a book growing up so my list of books that i've read is pretty short but growing. that in mind, i would say The tailsmen so far has been my favorite read.

    How Old are you? And where are you from?
    I'm currently 28 years old, and from Massachusetts.

    Do you have a nickname?
    In high school people called me by my last name, but i don't consider that a nickname, or rather a creative one to say the least.

    It's beautiful to be back - for those who might remember/ are bonded by facebook ties, there was a time that I scoured these boards as AlishaRiley - for those who don't, I'll begin at the beginning and introduce myself.

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I'd treated my peepers to Pet Semetary as a wee lassie, then discovered Carrie, The Shining and It - some years later (the tender age of 18, if my memory serves me well) I was given WOTC as a gift. I'd heard, vaguely of TDT through a band that I was pretty much in love with at the time, whose concepts had been hugely inspired by the series (Coheed and Cambria, they be), but had never gotten around to delving deeply enough to investigate it any further than that. So...I received Wolves, out of the blue, and began my little adventure from the awkward stage of 5 books in...which was...silly, but patience wasn't a virtue I was well acquainted with back then. I fell in love, of course, and decided to do a U-turn and gobble up the series from the beginning; desperately trying to erase my memory to avoid spoilers (which rarely works, although illusion is a grand thing. Indeed). And...yes...that was that. Hooked. Lined. Sunk. Living in Mid-World from thenceforth.

    Who is your favourite character?
    Arg. The dreaded question. For a long time, I'd have said Eddie; although if I can jumble up the question slightly, and personify the relationship between Roland and Jake...I'd like to do do that. I also had a real thing for Rhea. Creepy old hags just seem to do it for me.

    What is your favourite book?
    Emotionally speaking, the tie that I feel with Wolves is strongest; although for pure literary pleasure it'd have to be The Drawing of the Three. The digestion of that was...special.

    How old are you?
    21.
    (That was easy.)

    Where are you from?
    Liverpool, England, etc.

    Do you have a nickname?
    Yar. Roast, Lili, various abbreviations of Alisha, anything else that seems momentarily fitting.

    And...that's that.
    Nice to meet you.
    Ok, I missed this earlier, but I just needed to say WELCOME BACK ALISHA! Been far too long since you were last here, my Liverpudlian friend!

    And welcome everyone else, too!
    Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

    You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me.

    Hello Fellow Fans,

    How did you discover the dark tower?
    I read the Plume paperback when it first came out. I guess I was fifteen or so? I had read Tommyknockers, The Long Walk (my favorite short King piece) and The Stand (my favorite single long book).

    Who is your favorite character?
    Oh Jake for sure. He's the kid I identify with the most. I was like him, it seems sometimes, when I was growing up. Now, even, it's like he's searching for a father, searching for himself. A kid almost literally between life and death, childhood and adulthood, etc.

    What is your favorite book?
    Oh boy. Of The Dark Tower it's a tie between Gunslinger (the original version!!) and The Drawing of The Three.

    How old are you? And where are you from?
    I'm 38 and I'm from Connecticut originally.

    Do you have a nickname?
    Nope. My students call me Mr. -- or my first name. If I had a nickname though, it would be something like Doctor Amazing and his Incredible Band of Empire Strikes Back Devotees?

    NB I introduced myself in another thread but I thought I'd come here to cover my bases! Everyone seems just great on these forums! Thanks for having a new member!
