    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    I discovered the Dark Tower while I was walking through the horror section at the Borders I go to. I saw the cover of The Gunslinger (with Roland standing next to a raven with the Tower super-imposed in the background) and I immediately fell in love with the artwork. After reading the first chapter, I was hooked.

    Who is your favorite charcter?
    SPOILER (ish)

    My favorite character is either Callahan or Jake. I am about half-way through the seventh book as of writing this, so obviously I am a bit upset about my choice of favorite characters haha. These two are my favorite aside from Oy. Any time he comes close to danger, I start freaking out. This last half of the seventh book is going to be torture for me, I just know it.

    What is your favorite book?

    The fourth book has been the most emotional for me, thus far. The scene with Susan near the end of the book was terrible to have to read through. In all honesty, I cried harder than I have for any other book. I knew from the talk about Susan in The Gunslinger that she was burned on a funeral pier, but it still hit me harder than anything else. The fourth book was the best.

    How old are you?

    I am 18 years old.

    Where are you from?

    Connecticut [the University of, at this moment]

    Do you have a nickname?

    Matthew is sufficient. Maybe Big Papa?

    Welcome Matthew, I like your user name, you need a good avatar to go with it.

    Wizards and Glass is my favorite too, as it is simply the best book of the series. Shhh...bears will hear, and speak ill of it.

    Hi all,
    Long days and pleasent nights. I'm Michael, son of Steven. lol. Just joined. I just finished book seven today! So I came online to check out some of the fourms. I can't stop thinking about the end

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I'd always wanted to read a Stephen King book, and one day at the bookstore I was just browsing around and saw 'The Gunslinger' with the Michael Whalen artwork on the cover. The artwork looked really cool so I started reading 'The man in black fled across the dessert and the gunslinger followed' and then I was hooked.

    Who is your favorite character? Jake. I can't help it.

    What is your favorite book? Probably 'The Gunslinger' just because I remember it being so incredibly vivid. I'd never read anything like it before. Although 'Wizard and Glass' is probably a close second.

    How old are you? Twenty

    Where are you from? Ohio. I go to school at a small liberal arts college in central Ohio.

    Hile, forum frequenters. I'm Justin and I've been lurking here for a few weeks or so and thought I would register. I just got my first signed Stephen King book (US s/l Under the Dome)and am still a bit in awe.

    How did you discover the Dark Tower? I've always been a fan of King, and one day home sick from school I read The Gunslinger and was hooked.

    Who is your favorite character? That's a tough one. I'll have to go with Jake, I suppose

    What is your favorite book? I think it's a tie between The Drawing of the Three and The Waste Lands, as far as Dark Tower books go.(Though I love them all!) Otherwise - IT.

    How old are you? Twenty-Seven

    Where are you from? Arkansas

    Hi, my name is Nikola Borich, people call me Nick or Niki (Heeeeeeeere's Niki!!!)! I knew about this forum for a long time, but until few hours ago! I like it and I think that people here are cool and surprisingly friendly! Stephen King is my favorite author, and the Dark Tower is the greatest thing I've ever read!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    - Well, I'm a King fan, and I registered in the Bulgarian King forum 5 years ago, and everybody was talking about the DT all the time, but I didn't wanted to hear about it. I don't know why, but I thought that it will be crap! And one day I didn't have nothing interesting to read, and i took the Gunslinger... you know the rest! I became addicted to the Dark Tower, and 4 years later, I still am!

    Who is your favorite character?
    - Most of the ka-tet! My least favorite is Susannah, and my favorite are Roland and Jake, but i like Eddie is almost the same way!

    What is your favorite book?
    - IT is the best book ever! It's my personal number One! (DT is out of the charts) From the DT, it would be Wizard and Glass, but they are all incredible!

    How old are you?
    - 24

    Where are you from?
    - Bulgaria

    Hi all, Pinky McFatfat here. About four years ago I had been pretty active in various King and DT boards. I then had a VERY difficult pregnancy with my second child and he was born prematurely. Conrad (a varient of 'Cort') is well out of the woods now health-wise and I've decided to get back in.

    How do you discover the DT?- In 7th grade I had a very interesting librarian who gave me an entire box filled with H.P. Lovecraft, King, Straub and Poe because, as she said, "You're the only kid here who could 'get' this stuff. Have a fun summer reading." The copy of DT 1 was a first edition I now cherish above all my other material possessions.

    Who is your favorite character? - Out of the ka-tet? Thats impossible to answer...from the minor characters, Dinky, Ted, Cort and Jonas.

    What is your favorite book?_ If I REALLY had to pick out of the DT series, it would be "Drawing of the Three'. Out of the 'minor' books, it's definitely 'Insomnia'.

    How old are you?- 36

    Where are you from? Pennsylvania, USA.
