Hile!
Hi guys. Or Hile if you like.
I'm Kev, 24, from England. Look forward to chating to you all about these great books as i cant talk to my usual friends. They dont understand my "unhealthy" obbsession. Their loss.
I discovered the Gunslinger while browsing my local book shop. Ka, i guess. At that point I'd never read a King book. Now I own over fifty and have read them all, most many times, hoping for a DT reference. Guess you could say I'm hooked.
Fav character? Eddie/Cuthbert. though Roland rules too. Who am i kidding... i love them all. I related to Eddie the most though. I feel we have the same sense of humour. similar personalities. I agree with Dinorawr, Eddie has great lines. "Oh christ, i left the world i knew to watch a kid try to put booties on a fucked up weasel. Shoot me now, Roland, before i breed." classic Eddie. I'm not on heroin by the way!!! Alcohol and the Tower are my posions.
Fav book? They all have their moments but it has to be wizard and glass. It begins with the conclusion to the Blane saga. (eddie again, cool as ice!!!) It then tells an emotional tale wich i feel helps you to understand the gunslingers complex personality. Without this i feel the readers understanding of rolands relationship with his new ka tet in the following books would suffer. great climax too.
I put my name and age at the top. cant follow rules, guess it's the Eddie in me.
Thanks for your time and for welcoming me into your community. (i didn't even have to dance the commala) Long days and pleasant nights. ps. if you're gonna be chatting to me, please forgive my spelling. I began reading to improve it but it didn't work. I found the tower though.
Welcome, Kev!It's good to have you with us.
No worries about the spelling. If you're trying it'll get better.
Great to meet you Kev, welcome to the path of the beam.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Thanks for the welcome! Hope we meet along the path.
Welcome Kev, great to meet you!!!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
In July sometime of 2003, I was in 29 Palms, CA in the Marine Corps just sittin' there in the desert waiting to begin training with my unit, and a fellow Marine let me borrow the first book, started reading it, got really interested but only made it about half way through before we had to start up training again. Eventually got back into it and now finally on the last book!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I was a fan of King's short stories, and randomly saw the cover of the The Gunslinger (the purple one with David the hawk behind Roland) and was intrigued by the book's description so I bought it
However I just recently revisited and finished the series via audiobooks at work after a long break, I read up to Wizard and Glass while I was in college but got hooked to WoW back in '04 (lol).

I'm from Huntington Beach though, don't think I could leave here aha; good luck on the adjustment.
i was going to point you in the direction of the whedon thread if it was a buffy thing, but now i won't.
and actually, the differences aren't too big, yet. it sucks not being 6 miles from disneyland, but i can handle that.

My name's J (Jota en espanol). I am not really convinced of the need for this introduction, but I can't view pics on this forum, and I suspect a low number of posts is the reason. So here I am, padding my post count and introducing myself at the same time.
I have been a DT fan for over 14 years now. And for those 14 years, I have been training in the way of the gun. Some of that time was spent training with my father (state cop), some with the US Army (ex-paratrooper), and the rest on my own, with an emphasis on guerrilla warfare. Needless to say, I pity the wolf that comes looking for my twins, because one is named Smith and the other Wesson. They take after their mother.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am a Cancer, which means that I have crabs (zodiacally speaking).
And your mom might have crabs too. Or not. I dunno, she should get herself checked out.
