My parrot (ca 1983 or so) chewed off the top half of my POWER THAT PRESERVES cover...

I have a matching set of all books except for WGW, that one is in hardcover! <g>

DAMN they all look battered now - my TWL copy is disintegrating, time to apply lots of packing tape...

“It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!”
Fist and Faith said nothing but
“Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf—
I’ve had to ask you twice!”

Curious, were there ever any stats that indicated how many readers there are of The Chronicles of Covenant? :lol: and on a personal note, how many females? I swore to myself that if I ever saw a woman reading any of these books (on the bus, subway, etc) I would just have to walk up to her and ask h...

In the Power that Preserves, Bannor tells Covenant in the Plains of Ra that without his Vow his mortality is accelerating and he requires "sleep and hot food." I would assume that held true for Haruchai since the end of the Vow. No Vow (using Earthpower) was sworn to Covenant - Brinn remar...

Wayfriend, bear in mind that this is MrKABC's opinion....:) So please finish it, if you've read the first six? You've come so far, you should certainly read it, and decide for yourself. :D "Bird and Bear and Hare and Fish, give a fan his fondest wish..." Yes, I agree with birdandbear comp...

It might be fun being a raver though..

You are welcome! However, having snakes for arms and a tiger maw in your belly might be somewhat of a social bummer, you think?

This belongs in Runes forum, doesn't it? It seems that any discussion that might ensue could potentially contain spoilers. I thought about where the correct place for posting would be and decided here, because we haven't seen the krill of Loric yet, if we will at all, in Runes so I was basing it up...

It was good yes, maybe even very good. It was certainly annoying in spots but I'll reserve judgement until we get all 4. I wonder how it will fare in a re-read ? (anyone done it yet?).(I was late getting in my first read as I was immersed in a Stephen King Dark Tower re-read of all 7 - so I've just...

What does it REALLY do? In the first Chronicles, it did nothing other than destroy Samadhi Satansfist - referred to as a "power strong enough to bear any might." In the second Chronicles, SRD appears to have used it more, but still didn't really define where its power came from, or its use...

The Ranyhyn remind me of the "Fire Mares" from the wonderful movie Krull.

Whoops, sorry about that... My bad... :oops: Let's just say that the ending is open to a LOT of interpretation, and I interpreted it to mean: The ending of the book sucked a giant goat dick, and I felt completely cheated and ripped off!!! I can't believe I waited TWENTY YEARS for that total COP OUT ...

I remember watching Stephen King's Tommyknockers on TV a few years ago - the movie was quite faithful to the book and exactly how I imagined it. THAT IS, until the last 20 minutes or so, at the climax of the story. All of a sudden, it was like the movie producers had run out of money or patience, a...

Avaunt, minion of the Sunbane! How dare you speak ill of Lord Doom! I'll have to take you out to the plains of Greshas Slant and stake you down to await the rising of the desert sun...

Man, all of this philosophizing is melting my sad brain!

I think...

UGH... BOOK GOOD... READ BOOK... PHHHOOOAARRRR... BOOK GOOD... PUISSANCE... UGH... WORD BAD...

"The time has come, the walrus said
To speak of many things.
Of sailing ships and sealing wax,
And whether Cavewights have wings..."



Ramble away!

Adding one to the film version of great books: Band of Brothers - Phenomenal My initial dread is starting to lift due to John Orloff's response. I'm beginning to think this can work, given the enthusiasm he (you if you are reading this) seem to have for the project. I have an idea about how to inco...

Yeah, I dont think Donaldson is going to pull a Stephen Kingish type deal here(i.e, Dark Tower 7) Dark Tower Spoiler Warning--read at your own risk-mod. DON'T get me started on DT7... I was so ANGRY at the end of THAT book I wanted to burn the whole pile of DT books that I have cherished for 20 yea...

Let's see...how about a three-way tie between roynish, telic, and carious? None of which exactly make sense in the context they're used...and they're used a lot. I've never understood what he means when he uses these words in some places, going by the only definitions of them I can find...it's only...

Do any of ya'll think that it is possible that the Sandgorgons have some of the same capabilities to 'ride' time as the Ranhyn? When TC summoned Nom, he had a hell of a far way to go to get to him at Revelstone, yet he made all the way from Brathairealm (spelling?) to Revelstone rather quickly, don...

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming......take it away, MrKABC! Thanks dlb! I still believe it is Kastenessen - Findail spoke of "fire in the north" that Kastenessen had been Appointed to deal with - it is my guess that Kastenessen would reappear in fire. I am a little haz...
