i am going to post a few more times to get to number five.
I feel funny being a newbie amongst all you DT old-timers, but I am SO glad I am part of the DT world now. It really has changed my literature life.
Welcome!
You made it! :clap:Quote:

I now enjoy working around the dark tower when not traveling.
Eddie is my favorite character
Welcome Jake.
Welcome all newcomers.
Welcome, Jake! Eddie too is my favorite :) And of course Culbert before the world moved on....
Brethren, Loki...WELCOME!!!!
Hello everyone! My name is Abby. Obviously a Tower fanatic, decided to join this forum today to be able to meet and chat with other Tower and King lovers.
I have read the entire series twice now. I have also read the Tower comics omnibus. I am in love with the series, characters and the connections to all of King's other works. My fave book is probably The Wastelands. As for fave character I love them all in many ways.
Other than The Dark Tower I also collect King books. There are few I haven't read at this point but many I want to add to my collection.
Can't wait to meet others!
Welcome Abby! I like the sound of your occupation.
Haha! Thanks. I always thought it sounded better than bartender. :smile:Quote:

Anyway I'm trying to re-read my favorite King books and have slowly been tackling more of his stories/novels. I also started a modest collection of his books. I hope to procure more down the road so I need assistance in this. I hope to find help in this site.
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
-In a used book store when I was 12, the artwork captivated me and I've seen some of his early movie adaptations (Cujo etc.).
Who is your favorite character?
- Eddie Dean hands down.
What is your favorite book?
- 11/22/63 (of the ones that I've read)
How old are you?
- I'm 38, born the year The Stand came out (on my reading list to finish)
Where are you from?
- Bay Area, Northern California
do you have a nickname?
- Patz
how did you find this site?
- I was browsing for info regarding SK's limited editions. This site was one of the top hits.
Welcome Abby and Patz! Never can have enough bartenders in the room :). Patz, you've come to the right place with your search for all things King. This is the end all be all of King sites/forums IMO. Most of the elders are unstumpable when it comes to King. If they don't have the answers; it doesn't exist, yet...
Welcome all!!
Be free to post your collection.
Welcome sai barwench and sai patz, you are well met!
Welcome Abby & Patz!
Welcome Patrick . Good to see you here :)
A fellow Cincinnatian! I thought I was the only one :clap: welcome!Quote:

Just found this forum today. I am a long time SK fan (about 33 years, read about 60% of his books approximately) but the infamous Tower always stumped me! On my 19th birthday (which happens to be 19 July lol) my mom got me The Drawing of the Three not realizing it was part of a series. I tried quite a few times to read The Gunslinger but for some reason the first 50 pages or so stumped me. I was always determined I'd get it one day though!
A couple of weeks ago I had two audible credits and decided to give the audiobook a go and also got The Drawing of the Three in anticipation of a breakthrough. Eureka!! I finally fell into place. Now I can't begin to imagine my life before the Tower and I am only not quite a third into The Waste Lands.
IT was always my favorite of all SK's book (and possibly of always) and The Dark Tower goes even so far beyond that. I've never had a reading experience like this. It's just unreal!
Sorry for the long palaver but time moves kinda funny out here. Looking forward to checking out your tribe here.
I am off to lunch now for a tooter fish sandwich. :-)
Ps: I am also a lover of Star Wars, all things mst3k and rifftrax, Pink Floyd, new lover of Frank Zappa (it's been a helluva year for new stuff!), and podcasts specifically Frogpants productions (The Morning Stream, Filmsack & Current Geek!)

Welcome to the forum RissaServa. Hope you stay around for a long time.
I also found The Gunslinger a bit hard going but from The Drawing of the Three onwards a great read. I also love the Stars Wars films.
One of my favourites is also IT but The Stand (Uncut) is my all time fav.
