How did you discover the Dark Tower?
a friend knew I loved sci-fi AND fantasy (really only Tolkien....and Lewis) but not necessarily Stephen King and said that nevertheless I should check this out. I was very pleasantly surprised

Who is your favorite character?
I think Roland Deschain of Gilead is one of the best examples of fictional characterization ever penned, so I guess I'd have to say: Roland

What is your favorite book?
The Drawing of the Three on days that end with "y" and The Dark Tower on days that start at 12:00 am with one day off every other June 19 for The Gunslinger

How old are you?
27

I waited to do this till I had a few posts, see if I liked it. I really dig the joint.
I like the Beam Bucks concept too, makes me feel like I'm earning money. :thumbsup:

I joined up last year, but didn't post till recently. I was a lurker over at DT.net, till they shut down. Still not sure what happened there, they had a "we won't commit suicide" page, then the link just went dead. Sad.

So I lurk here now.

I do have one newbie question.

1. One section I post in, a pictures thread, it says the post must be approved by a mod before it will post my reply. Is this because of my low post count, or are certain sections just like that?




How did you discover the Dark Tower?

I knew of King growing up, but thought him too violent. Thought him pure horror, which I don't like. I want the "good guy" to prevail. So I ignored his books till I saw The Stand in the store with Gary Sinese on the cover sometime in the 90's. This was right after Forest Gump had come out, and I was a Lt. Dan fan, so I decided to try it out.

I loved the book and it turned me into an instant King fan. Yes, there were brutal shock jock parts that were way past my threshold, but I found them almost like real life, bad stuff happens. Didn't seem like it was just some book that a bunch of innocent people get killed by a serial killer slasher. People died in droves, yes, but King seemed to have a soul.

After that I started getting King books, and my wife saw this and got me Dark Tower 3, the Wastelands. I was blown away.

What an awesome read. Every word of that book just felt "right". I was a little peeved at the cliffhanger, and like everyone else, had to wait a long time for Wizard and Glass, but not as long as most, I think it was just a few years.

I went and read the Gunslinger after that, and loved it too. I actually found it almost perfect as well, though the style was different. It was short and tight and real. I have the updated version now as well, I like both.

Since then, I'v read just about every King book, with the expection of some of the earlier ones like Carrie and Cujo.

Who is your favorite charcter?

Roland is I think. But the Man in Black is a close second. I don't really like the guy, but I find this storyline super interesting.


What is your favorite book?

Tie between Wastelands and Dark Tower 7.

How old are you?

40

Where are you from?

Grew up in Fort Myers, Fl.
Moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma when I was 23.

Welcome Whidden!

Yes, it's a spam prevention measure, the not being able to post pictures right away. As soon as you get your post count up, you'll have no worries at all.

I'm glad you decided to break out of your lurker-ness !

This is a great community and I'm sure you'll find that we'll always be here !

Hi there, my names Nic and i would like to intoduce myself to everyone.

Well i discovered 'The Dark Tower' 3 years ago when i was looking through the bookshelf at WHSmiths. I had read a few Stephen King novels (i love IT and Dreamcatcher) and so it appealed to me being a series of more fantasy style books. Yeah i like Tolkien and Pratchet but i don't do POTTER!!!! Anyway i was actualy on holiday when i bought my first book.... The wolves of Calla from a second hand store. It was a fantastic book with gorgeous illustrations. But i didn't read it until i had bought the first book and read the subsequent others. Ever since i have been addicted to the books and went back to that 2nd hand store and bought all the beautiful illustrated books to keep forever as a collectors geeky thing! lol

My favourite character is Roland and i do have an image of him in a tattoo on my arm.

The Wolves of Calla is my favourite book as i love how Callaghan comes into it.

I'm 29 years old.

I live in Nottingham, England but i am originaly from Whitby in North Yorkshire.

My Nicknames DartsGoth but that comes from my darts playing!

Hello all :)

How did you discover the Dark Tower?

My dad is a huge Stephen King fan, and growing up he'd always gave me the books to read after he did. Sometimes I'd try to read and give up (The Stand is a bit hardcore to an eight year old) sometimes they'd captivate me more than any other media I had been exposed to (I remember reading Firestarter cover to cover in one sitting at 11 maybe).

Anyway, dad gave me the gunslinger saying he'd given up on it, it was too weird for him. With that prejudice in my mind I read up to the Oracle and gave up also. But what i did read stuck in my mind for the next 10-12 years. I could not live the rest of my life without finding out if Roland would catch the Man in Black, so at 25 i picked the Gunslinger up again and never looked back.

Who is your favorite charcter?

Eddie Dean.

What is your favorite book?

now that's a toughie...but i've got a soft spot for The Drawing Of The Three, that one really made me a Tower Junkie.

How old are you?

27.

Where are you from?

Perth, Australia.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was going through the library at school one day looking for something new to read. I came across the Stephen King section and thought "huh never read anything by him before, lemme check it out." I saw The Gunslinger and thought "is this a western?...by Stephen King?...:scared: well i like westerns, what the heck" haha I had no idea what i was getting into and fell in love with the story :) I've since got my dad to read it and he loves it as well.


Who is your favorite charcter?
Um, I guess I would have to say Roland, but I also really like Jake because he's a lot tougher than he looks :)

I was going through the library at school one day looking for something new to read. I came across the Stephen King section and thought "huh never read anything by him before, lemme check it out." I saw The Gunslinger and thought "is this a western?...by Stephen King?...:scared: well i like westerns, what the heck" haha I had no idea what i was getting into and fell in love with the story :) I've since got my dad to read it and he loves it as well.


Who is your favorite charcter?
Um, I guess I would have to say Roland, but I also really like Jake because he's a lot tougher than he looks :)

What is your favorite book?
oh boy I really don't think I could make a definitive decision here


How old are you?
19...:scared: dum dum dum haha


Where are you from?
I'm a Southern California chick all the way

do you have a nickname?
most people call me Manda

Hello I am pixiedark76.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was always a Stephen King fan. I had read the books Christine, Pet Semetery, and Dream Catcher. I had not been interested in the DT series until the announcement that SK was going to finish the series. I decided to see what the fuss was about so I read volumes 1-4. I was hooked and then I finished the series.

Who is your favorite character?
I happen to like Detta Walker. (The bad side of Odetta/ Susannah) She is mean as a snake and tough as nails. She is also very smart, but she acts like she is stupid to trick people.

What is your favorite book?
In the DT series Drawing of the Three. Overall SK my favorite is The Dead Zone.

How old am I? none of your business!!!:P

Where are you from? Pittsburgh PA (Goo Steelers!)

Do you have a nickname? yes it is pixie

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Had always been currious about King, but wasnt a big horror fan. One day in 7th grade, a friend of mine hands me Eyes Of The Dragon. I devoured it over the weekend, and when I came back on monday he hands me THE GUNSLINGER and DRAWING OF THE THREE. With a smile he says, "Okay, now try these." Been hooked ever since.

I think thats the sign of a true friend, one whom you can never forget. Anyone who introduces you to The Tower has got to be someone to cherish forever.

Who is your favorite charcter?
Toss up. I like Roland, 'cause hes our hero. I like Eddie, cause he's fun. I see a lot of myself in both of them.

What is your favorite book?
Wizard And Glass, No Question.

How old are you?
35 akk, almost 36!

Where are you from?
Topeka, KS. Yes, THAT Topeka, KS

Do you have a nickname?
My friends call me Flash.

Hi, everyone!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Strangely enough, there was an old copy back in my high school library of the Gunslinger. It wasn't until the final 3 novels were released that I decided to read the revised edition, though.

Who is your favorite charcter?
Eddie. I love his twisted sense of humour!

What is your favorite book?
Oooooooh, difficult. The Drawing of the Three was something i really whizzed through, but the Waste Lands seemed much better with a 2nd read. I'd say DotT, just because it was such a great introduction to so many great characters.

How old are you?
20.

Where are you from?
Good ol' England, home of the Queen, crumpets, and the ORIGINAL Life on Mars, haha!

do you have a nickname?
Yes, but they're like Morrissey's regrets: "Too many to mention."

How did you discover the Dark Tower? My now Fiance always told me I would love The Gunslinger, she nagged and nagged at me. So I finally read it ( and soon after the rest) and they are now by far my favorite series.

Who is your favorite charcter? I would have to say Oy, he reminds me so much of my dog Jake (no not after chambers). But I will always love Roland, I plan to name my son Roland.

What is your favorite book? I would have to say the last one is my favorite, Oh man though I cried so much (I know I'm a big baby)

How old are you? 18

Where are you from? Lincoln, Nebraska

do you have a nickname? Crash, Kiffer,and X

The Gunslinger was the first Christmas present I ever got from my older brother. I read it in six hours and bought the remaining books in the series the next day.

Eddie Dean. I don't know why. After he died, I set the book down for almost nine months because I just couldn't handle it.

What is your favorite book?

Wolves of the Calla, hands down.

How old are you?

Fifteen summers.

Hello fellow Tower junkies. This is Luke posting from Mid-World-that-was.

How did you discover the Dark Tower? I was at Barnes and Noble looking for something to read and The Gunslinger caught my eye. I had just finished reading The Stand at the time so I thought I'd give the Dark Tower a shot since my dad had read them and is a former Tower junkie himself.

Who is your favorite charcter? Roland had got to be my favorite, although Eddie is a close second, since we share a similar sense of humor.

What is your favorite book? The Gunslinger, followed by The Dark Tower.

How old are you? 18

Where are you from? Quarryville, Pa.

do you have a nickname? Many: Slick, Coolhand, Ninja, Grasshopper, just to name a few.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?

I'm a huge fan of Lost. Way back in season 1 I think, people were comparing some of it to The Dark Tower, so that originally piqued my interest. Then I read The Gunslinger Born and The Long Road Home graphic novels from Marvel and got hooked. I'm reading the books now and I'm about half-way through Wizard and Glass (I started about a month ago and usually I read very slow) and I feel like I'm addicted to them. I dream about the Dark Tower. When I go to work, all I want to do is go back home and read. I'm loving this series.

Who is your favorite character?

Roland (of course), Eddie Dean and Cuthbert

What is your favorite book?

So far I have to say The Drawing of the Three. I read it in about a week and when I finished it I was so pumped up you would have thought I won the lottery.

How old are you?

30 and hate every minute of it. Wish I was 19 again.

Where are you from?

I am Rob Kane of New Jersey

do you have a nickname?

Kasper to my closest friends. Kazz or Kidd Ikarus to online ones.

Hey there, just thought I'd pop in to see if there was anybody willing to play some "Gunslingers and Muties".

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Quite by accident really. Found a used copy of The Gunslinger while rummaging for more of the classic SK stuff. Read it a couple of times and after a couple of years found out that it was part of a series much to my surprise. A coworker loaned me the other three that were published at the time. Now I have various editions of the series that give the collection the appearance of a patchwork quilt.
Who is your favorite charcter?
Eddie Dean.
What is your favorite book?
Drawing of the Three. I like origin stories and I really consider The Gunslinger more of a preamble. DotT gets the ball rolling.

How old are you?
40 going on 15

Where are you from?
Originally, Belleville, Ontario. Presently, Toronto, Ontario

Do you have a nickname?
There is this alias which I established a bizzillion years ago but IRL no. People are just happy to call me Paul.

Matt
04-03-2009, 07:13 AM

:dance:

Hello, everyone, just registered today and thought I'd chime in:

How did you discover the Dark Tower? I was first introduced to this series of books through my local comic store. I bought the "Gunslinger Born" hardcover from Marvel, and found it interesting enough to buy "The Gunslinger" novel. I read through it in about two days, and I was hooked.

Who is your favorite charcter? The Man in Black, of course! :onfire:

What is your favorite book? The Waste Lands.

How old are you? Just turned 37! :rock:

Where are you from? I am a native of Kissimmee, FL, land of the big black rat!

Do you have a nickname? Not anything I can repeat here! :P

HEY EVERYONE! I just joined yesterday and I'm so glad I found you guys! I'm completely addicted to the series- I've been an avid SK reader for EVER- I collect his books and my goal's to have a double set of everything- one in hardcover to sit and look pretty, and one in softcover to read... In my opinion, there's nothing more beautiful than a WELL READ BOOK!!!



How did you discover the Dark Tower? I knew about it years ago, and had a lot of the books, but didn't start reading it until about a year ago... WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! It's amazing!!

Who is your favorite character? Roland- I think I fell in love with him by then end of The Wastelands... haha Anyone else love him?!? :wub:

What is your favorite book? So far, it's The Wastelands, however I'm almost done the Wizard and the Glass and am completely addicted!

How old are you? 27 F

Where are you from? Southern NJ, USA

Do you have a nickname? Oh I'm sure I've got a couple! ;-)
