    How did you discover the Dark Tower?
    I've been a constant reader since I was much too young. I got the Bachman books (feat. RAGE) from my aunt when I was eleven or so. My dad also had a copy of the Gunslinger (the original version and the re release) but I didn't seriously read it until I was 19 (for real). I wouldn't have understood or appreciated the metaplot earlier anyway.

    Who is your favorite character?
    The Turtle. Ain't he keen?

    What is your favorite book?
    Drawing of the Three

    How old are you?
    26

    Where are you from?
    Pacific Northwest, California

    do you have a nickname?
    See screen name.

    how did you find this site?
    The internet hype machine was all over the DuBay lawsuit when it started but I couldn't find any info on the details. After some digging I found this place. I was awfully surprised to see Bev Vincent come up in King's deposition as well as that stupid letter R.F. got from DuBay about the members here. Figured I'd try and get in with the Tet. I am an aspiring writer. I have no officially published work and only a few self-published works online, so I'm pretty green but driven. Sai-King is my defacto English teacher. I've been fascinated with his prose for as long as I can remember. I read Hearts in Atlantis not long after its movie came out (very sad they dropped the Can-Toi from the plot but I can change it in my mind). Since I turned 19 I've been studying King's work, among others (the likes of Lovecraft, Tolkien, Robert Chambers, Arthur C. Clarke, and some game writers like Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, Rand & Robyn Miller) with a serious mind toward creating and selling prose of my own, so in part I'm here to network.

    I'm excited to hang out and participate in the discussion. I hope to share some stuff here and get critical feed back a little further down the path also.

    Long days, pleasant nights!

    Default HerbziKal's Introduction Post.

    Hey all,

    I only just discovered the existence of this forum today, accidentally while awaiting the ability to post threads on the Stephen King Message Board... but as the Dark Tower is my favourite King series, I think I may like it here more anyway! Can't wait to get involved in the discussion! However, this is only my second post, so I have a few more to make until I can pose my own ideas...

    In the mean time...

    How did you discover the Dark Tower? Growing up my mum loved the DT books, and I have strong memories as a kid of her pining for the next books release. When I was older I discovered the joys of Stephen King starting with IT and then The Green Mile. After this I thought it was about time I found out what all my mum's fuss over the DT books was about. I bought the DT audiobooks, read by the amazing Frank Muller (2-4) and George Guidall (1, 5, 6 & 7). I have listened to them on near repeat (along with a certain fantasy series mainly involving Ice and Fire) since the start of my PhD, which has found me looking down a microscope for hundreds and hundreds of hours with my ears free.

    Who is your favorite character? Of the White? Eddie Dean / Cuthbert Allgood for sure, they are so similar it is hard to pick- but perhaps Cuthbert has the edge. May be boring to some- but it's true. If I am honest though, I do often find myself drawn towards the characterisations and personalities of those who serve the Red, Eldred Jonas being at the top of the pile of fantastic dark characters.

    What is your favorite book? Again with my indecisiveness, but it has to be either Book 2 or Book 4. Book 4 is such a fantastic story, with the metropolitan start and the old-west middle. It is satisfying, insightful, and incredibly bitter-sweet with a great setting, arch and characters. Of all the books I find this one evokes the most varied and strongest emotional responses from me. Also it contains Cuthbert of course. In terms of the books focusing on the main plot, Book 2 will always stick with me as a special one. While elements of other books form particular highlights, the entirety of Drawing stands out to me as amazing. Also it was the first book that truly got me hooked on Roland and his quest, so I feel I owe it my great thanks.

    How old are you? 27

    Where are you from? England, UK

    Do you have a nickname? Herb, Herby, Kal

    How did you find this site? Almost feels a sin but... Google! I needed to find a place where I could talk to others as addicted as me to the Tower.
