    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    My brother is a big King fan and I came across and started reading his collection when I was around 8 or 9. After reading IT I picked up The Gunslinger and read it. I wasn't too impressed (mainly cause a lot of the themes went way over my head) but when ( a few years later) I was perusing his bookshelf again, I came across DoTT and TWL and read both in quick succession. DoTT had me hooked and from that point the rest is history!

    Who is your favorite character?
    Hmm... its such an easy and predictable (not to say cliche) answer, but it has to be Roland. My favourite fictional hero growing up and still is.


    What is your favorite book?
    Tough one. The one I remember most is Wizard and Glass, but only because when it came out I was old enough to enjoy it properly and take my time reading it. But favourite... I think has to be Drawing of the Three. It was that book that made me want to be a writer. The suspense throughout the book was unlike anything i'd read up to that point and it made me a full-on Tower junkie!

    How old are you?
    30


    Where are you from?
    Belfast, NI

    do you have a nickname?
    Usually Rocky, Rock or Rocko.

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    I think i just picked it up one day, and said, "hey, i've seen this name everywhere" and there the journey began for the price of E19.99...

    Who is your favorite charcter?

    Eddie. He's the guy that would make the most inappropriate joke at the right time and no one will laugh. THat's me!

    What is your favorite book?

    Hmmm... I'm only 1 fifth through the final book so I can't say for sure. So far though out of the 6... probably... Wizard and glass, despite common opinion.

    How old are you?

    20. But I WAS 19 once.

    Where are you from?

    Cork, Ireland

    do you have a nickname?

    A girl in college insists on calling me Brenda/Brendyz but thats probably not what your looking for. If you like, you can call me phoenix!!

    ... in fact now that i think of it... its probably not a good idea to stay o the forums untill i finish the series...

    Default My intro

    Hello, big fan of The Tower. I finished the series in 2004 but I just reread it over the past two months and read the 3 Graphic Novels as well and I'm back to being a Tower addict!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    I read the Gunslinger in 1992, it was recommended to me by a friend. I then read Drawing and Wastelands in that same year. Impatiently waited for W&G, which I read immediately after it came out in 1997. I was like Roland's Ka Tet after it looked like King wouldn't finish the series, very angry at Sai King himself for taking so long. But, say thankya, King wasn't killed in that van accident and it was finished.

    Who is your favorite charcter?

    Eddie Dean. Roland is the best character ever created, but Eddie is my favorite.

    What is your favorite book?

    Wizard and Glass. It is one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life.

    How old are you?

    36

    Where are you from?

    New York City, I live on 54th and 2nd Avenue. Yep!

    do you have a nickname?

    Not really, I'm 36.

    Just wanted to point out that no one is ever too old for nicknames.

    And welcome to the site, John!

    You're right, I cannot argue. But, still, I don't have a nickname and I never really did because I always went by my last name, even in High School and college. Nothing very fun.

    I wish I could have gone by my last name.

    I had the worst nickname growing up. I got this bad haircut in 7th grade, and my brother started calling me Buffalo Wings. Then he made up a song about it. Recently, he wrote music for it on his guitar and now sings it when we get together for Holiday gatherings. With brothers and sisters you never get to put those humilating moments from childhood behind you.
