Maybe Cail headed north and walked on the ice for some time. The merewives weren't in a fixed location, so with a willing man, they might have sensed him and joined him very close to The Land.

Thanks for providing the exact quotes Variol. My memory was not wrong in this one case. :) I'm not harping on SRD anyone. If he can't fix it for the paperback, he can always fix it in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. printings. It really doesn't matter if he EVER fixes it, although I would want the erro...

Well I'm glad I'm not going crazy

It's not a big deal at all, but I agree, if I was SRD, I would want it corrected in the paperback or subsequent printings also.

Have any other errors been found in Runes?

This brings up an interesting question.... I own the entire TC collection, most in hardcover AND paperback. I am now commuting to a new job everyday on the train and am trying to pack as lightly as possible. If I "find" e-texts on the 'net for books I already own, and download them to my P...

At the beginning of White Gold Wielder, TC's house is vandalized and blood is splattered everywhere "as if a cow had been killed." At the end of the book, the sheriff or Megan the attorney says "they killed a horse." At the beginning of Runes, Linden is recalling "how a cow ...

No spoilers please, 'cause I'm only about 100 pages into "Forbidden Knowledge". But with what I've read so far, I've gotta tell you, I'm not impressed. It's very sadistic, and not really sci-fi. I'm hoping it improves, but I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to put it down. Stick with...

I haven't read BE (I read Dianetics, though, in the dim past of my silly youth), I only saw the film Battlefield Earth which is imho one of the Worst Films Ever Made. Battlefield Earth is a great novel, but has nothing to do with Dianetics, for which L. Ron Hubbard seems to be most remembered. I wa...

I don't think it has to be Sci/Fi channel - just one of the stations available to the masses... I was really excited when we started receiving the Sci Fi channel a couple years ago (our cable system must have been one of the last), and for the most part I've been really disappointed in it. The amou...

As for the ring, that all depends on whether this is actually Covenant. :D Well, since this series is the Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant , I'll puttin' my white gold dollars on TC. I would like to see him in the story somehow anyway, even if he is just a spectre floating around with LA. I'm th...

I think the fact that LA is a healer is closer to the logical explanation. I never bought off too much on the Esmer thing since he wasn't around ALL the time.

So who thinks LA will turn over the ring to TC? I'm bettin' that she offers the ring but he refuses and she's stuck with it.

The best theater and the best movies are the ones that make you feel a true purging of the emotions, a catharsis, and draw you in so much emotionally that you feel with the characters. This is true whether those emotions are ugly or fantastic. There is no reason why this isn't true in literature as ...

Going back and checking, it was actually 12,000, not 1,200.

So to whoever my benefactor was.... thank you!

Tom

I can understand Thomas Convenant's "block" that causes him to not reach the power of white gold when he needs to. But what is the issue with Linden? What kind of mental problem is she supposed to have that causes her to keep failing to reach to power of white gold? Also, with the ending (...

So is there a table of how many WGD are rewarded for what activity?

I joined and made a few posts, and I earned 3 WGD for every post.

Suddenly I earned 1200 WGD for no reason at all.

And since I've earned 3 for every post.

Well, having finished Runes, I am inbetween books.

So I found a great way to bring in the New Year.....

I'm starting all over again and I'm up to Chapter 5 of Lord Foul's Bane

The next Game Boy will supposedly launch some time in 2006. The working title is "Game Boy Evolution". Games will come on mini-discs, as opposed to cartridges. It would be awesome if the next GameBoy was actually a portable GameCube and used the same discs, perhaps protected in a sleeve y...

Throw in another vote for the GameCube :Hail: Great games, very rugged, works well when travelling in the truck for the kids in the back seat (no AC inverter needed), access to all the GBA games with the GB Player, and total addiction to the Nintendo Wavebird controllers. Only drawback I've experien...

I've read two Modesitt books--The Forever Hero and The Magic of Recluce. They are both good. Very well drawn characters. He's a little wordy--but I like that. Some people do not. If you made it through Magic of Recluce. read the rest of the Recluse series by Modesitt. They get better and better. Fr...

I see the Wheel of Time series and the Chronicles having similarities only in the sense of common themes you see in Fantasy, but completely independent of each other. For example, Fantasy in general loves horses, gentle-hearted giants, and meek heros with potential never realized before. Woodland cr...

I see Gilden Fire sold separately on ebay. Is the standalone book version different from the version included in Daughter of Regals? Perhaps it is illustrated in the standalone version?
