Oh yea, totally. I was on a cruise reading The Wastelands for the first time when the tsunami happened. I'll never forget that.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I would never have met Linda without the series..

I get bitched at a lot more by my friends who refuse to read the books and hate that sometimes I'd rather read on a Friday night than go out
This series helped make me a better person. The way that Roland was raised and taught to "stand true" seemed to take me away from that hoodlum path that I might have otherwise travelled. I think about the Dark Tower series everyday. It gives me inspiration.
So tonight I was out to dinner with some friends and I was asked to explain myself about the dark tower. I mean come on how could I not laugh at that. You know you really can't explain the power of Roland and his Ka-Tet to those who haven't experienced it. It is sort of like explaining what it is like being a parent to someone who doesn't have kids. They can listen and try to understand but they never will until they have their own kids or in this case, read The Dark Tower themselves. People just can't grasp the power and draw of Roland until they sit down and experience it themselves.

Exactly, its kind of like trying to explain faith.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
It started by them teasing me about running off to Vegas to meet my "internet friends".

You know they were just hating because they don't have internet friends!

this series has effected me in so many ways. The biggest is how much i RELATE. it explains my beliefs (reincarnation, karma, ka) to the tee, and how much i relate to every character. i just moved cities and am having a hard time finding friends and whatever, but every day i hang out with my favorite ka-tet. i'm on the last book, which is depressing, but i'll probly start it again. Its also another way me and my brother bond, seeing how no one else we know have read the series, and those who have are not as deeply obssessed as i am. It gives me something to share with other DT junkies, and outsiders are just that: outside. many other ways as well, but thats the readers digest version.
My first read-through didn't affect me much since it took a number of years to get through, but the read-read I am currently (I'm near the end of the final volume) has affected me in ways I never expected. I found myself tearing up, especially from WotC on. I find myself continually going back to the sadder parts of the books and find myself wistfully smiling. I'm constantly talking about it to my fiance. Thankfully, she's very understanding, even though she is a DT outsider.
DT took up a large amount of my life but every second was SO worth it and I could read these books forever and ever and still feel the same...my girlfriend nags me about 'obsessing'(psshhhttt) about DT but lately i've been slowly working her through King's other novels and it's going good so soon enough we'll have another DT fanatic yay!!!!
The series has inspired me in so many ways
