    It was the spring of 1989 (19 years ago!) when I read Cujo and first entered the mad, fantastic world of Stephen King. I read the first two (and only, up to that point) Dark Tower books that same summer along with a great deal of King's other books, as well. I've been a Constant-Tower-Reader-Junkie ever since.

    Who is your favorite charcter? Heroes or Villains? For heroes, it's Eddie Dean. But Jake gets a VERY close second. Walter is far and away the best villain. Who else but Walter could flee across the desert in the beginning of the first book and the cycle entire, end up as the final major death in the first book, be the first major death in the final book and still manage to flee across the desert at the end of the same book and the cycle itself? Pure Walter.

    What is your favorite book? The Waste Lands. For so many reasons, both within the novel and my own experiences while reading the book. From the first time, in December 1991, when I was struck by a mini-van on my walk home from school with the then brand-new book in my knapsack, right up to my using it as a guide book this last spring in New York. May 31st, the day Jake found the Rose, is the day I first visited 2 Hammarskjold Plaza.

    How old are you? "Old enough to vote and not old enough for Social Security."

    Where are you from? The eighth level of King's Tower. Seriously. I can watch my own body dehydrate with clinical, detached attention, watering it's crevices and dark inner hollows only when my logic tells me it must be done.

    do you have a nickname? My handle's a long one, say true, but "O Hyper-One" has a nice ring to it, do ya?

    Indeed! And I just got a great deal on some of those old Donald Grant editions, too. Not one of the ones with the Roy Krenkel paintings, though.

    The name is, first and foremost, a reference to Cal Tower's nickname for Jake. I've been reading a great deal of the non-King books mentioned in the Dark Tower series (focusing mostly on those referenced in the Waste Lands at the moment) and keeping a sharp eye out for parallels. "The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind" menu alone has been keeping me reading since the beginning of the summer.

    I'm not a big welcome guy, but this looks like a pretty interesting site and I love The Dark Tower so what can I say? I'm a joiner... sort of.

    Anyway, on with the show!

    It discovered me shortly after it came into print... I'm one of those that I've already seen mentioned here that has been on the 30 plus year journey with King until he finally finished the thing. I'm so glad he did. After The Waste Lands I had serious doubts he was going to as I'm sure many did.


    Who is your favorite charcter?
    Roland, of course. There wouldn't be any others if there wasn't first A childe Roalnd to the dark tower came.

    What is your favorite book?
    Wizard and Glass. I waited so long for that book that when it finally arrived I called in sick and read the whole damn book in one day.

    Nice to meet you as well. I'm going to poke around for awhile before I insert myself into the community at large but I suspect this will become a favorite of mine. I have a few passions; movies being one of the biggest but not far behind is King's finest work (in my ever so humble opinion ).

    Are you the Admin and site creator?

    Yeah I saw that, I have a pretty great movie forum that I hang out on but I will definitely give it a look see.

    I do have one question: Do I have to wait until my 5th post to add a signature? Or am I such a total newbie I just can't figure out my own control panel.

    Greetings Powdered, long days pleasant reads!

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    Welcome, Pablo Terro!

    Have fun, and be sure to look around...there's something for everyone here.

    Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"

    Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”

    Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”

    Default OOPS!

    Oh and before I forget



    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    A friend of mine introduced it to me at work on a particularly slow day. Since then I have been creating particularly slow days so that I can continue reading them... Just broke the seal on Wolves of Calla, so I have a LONG LONG way to go.

    Who is your favorite charcter?
    Roland.. He's taut enough to always do what needs to be done, yet soft enough to prove he does indeed have a heart when he needs to.

    What is your favorite book?
    Wizard and Glass... I found it really touching. Even relatable to a point, moreso than the rest so far.

    How old are you? 26

    Where are you from? Erlanger, KY (Greater Cincinnati, OH)

    do you have a nickname? I have a few.
