I agree with you Rocksister, from the male perspective, this is the simple way to see this scene. I really enjoyed reading jwaneeta's posts also, she brings an interesting perspective. I, like many others have thought about and pulled apart this scene and looked at it from countless different angles...

Has anyone made a conection between Pietten and

Jeremiah

? Apart from the obvious.

I am re-reading the Gap books at the moment, just started actually. I haven't read them since they originally came out, so now that my TC re- read is over I really have to do the gap again. I really enjoyed them the first time but there was time waiting between each book, now I will be able to read ...

I have had best luck with MUTTS. A pure breed will need more attention and be more demanding. A Mutt is just happy to have a roof roof over his head :D I have a black lab/chow mix with some small collie thrown in for good luck and he is a great dog. Independant, but Loyal. You'll take your chances o...

I thought I would ressurect this thread from the other page, as we have been talking about Ayn Rand lately. Just wanted to add something from the whole 'Ayn's love life' question. Ayn Rand did have a somewhat troubled love life. She wanted a man like the ones she wrote about. A HERO. She did have a ...

I don't see any reason to believe that R.B. is Regulus Black. I mean apart from the initial thing :wink: R.B. could stand for anything. We didn't know who the half blood prince was until we got the the end of book six so why should we know who R.B. is. I think that R.B. being Regulus Black is way to...

Hallelujah

Ahhh the peace of the Temple of Linden Avery. Where only words of peace, enlightenment and yes some indecisiveness (she is a woman after all :wink: ) abound. There are still three more books to be written and I am thinking that Linden will play a large part in them, I predict that the day will come ...

Lord Mhoram wrote: I am a huge fan of this man. Canadian singer-songwriter and novelist, the man is an amazing writer of both prose and lyrics. His favorite album of mine is Songs From a Room, with the song "The Story of Isaac": I also love Leonard Cohen. I don't own a lot of his music but...

He thought of all the living species that train their young in the art of survival, the cats who teach their kittens to hunt, the birds who spend such strident effort on teaching their fledglings to fly - yet man, whose tool of survival is the mind, does not merely fail to teach a child to think, b...

Lucimay wrote: i've read it too, Fist, as well as Fountainhead. doesn't everybody have an Ayn Rand period? (kinda like a Herman Hesse period) I agree that everyone has an Ayn Rand period and flirts with Objectivism, it lasts exactly as long as you can stay objective about the world around you, whic...

When she opened her eyes, she saw sunlight, green leaves and a man's face. She thought: I know what this is. This is the world as she had expected to see it at sixteen - and now she had reached it - and it seemed so simple, so unastonishing, that the thing she felt was like a blessing pronounced up...

I loved this book. Never saw the twist comming, I never do, get too absorbed into the story to think about what is going to happen next. I was very shocked at the end, and found myself thinking about it for days after I finished it. I still think on it sometimes and I am glad that others also enjoye...

Here are some thoughts that I had. Mainly they are in regards to Snapes character. A very central character that has developed in interesting directions. We have been very carefully kept in the dark about some of the things to do with Snape by the very clever Mz Rowlings. The main point to me is WHY...

Haven't seen the movie yet, but loved the books as a child. Still have them on my book case as a matter of fact. I always was trying to get to Narnia after I read them. I like to think that when I found SRD a few years late, I was in the wood between the worlds (from the Magicians Nephew) and that I...

I guessed TC as that is close, of all the options, to what I think she is. If I was writting it that is who she would be Of course she could be any of the other options listed except ordinary!!! If there is one thing we have discovered in our musings its that she is anything but ordinary!!!

At the moment I am which ever character SRD is writting me to be, only thing I can garantee is that I'm going to be very, very, very good.

I have not read many of the recent postings so I can not be sure if this idea has been brought forward. Could the Mahdoubt be from the future? If a caesure is a rent in the fabric of time, then could it not also bring someone from the future into the land. If we looked hard enough might we not find ...

Ok so here is something I have been thinking about. She serves. She is hidden, she has insight into the truth of what is happening around her, we dont know where she came from, she is recognized or is accepted as if she is known, she has earthpower and the sight despite kevins dirt, There hasnt real...

Having just read every bit of this thread, and as the mahdoubt was one of the main reasons I came here, I think I will just say WOW :D Some fantastic thoughts and ideas here. I dont have anything new to add just some 'first impressions' which can be insightfull after all the thinking and re-thinking...
