well we know what kind of a fantasy writre Led Zep would be

Sgt Peppers (best album = art) Revolver (best "look we can totally change our writing style and not write just pop-music and still write incredible ever-lasting, psycholdelic blow your mind music " album) White Album (best "look even when we hate each other and barely talk to each oth...

So does anybody know of an expectant date for "Fatal Revenant"

No offense taken, really! I think we are miscommunicating on what is missing.

To me what is missing is the depth of the writing itself, not elements of the story.

Then I started to realise ROTE is all about what's missing - history, earthpower, Jeremiah and most centrally, TC himself. Perhaps this more abstract structure and the experience of so much missing is not enough to make an emotional connection for you. whatever the purpose of SRD - but its hardly j...

Finally, someone said something that let's me better verbalize, or actually just realized why I was upset with TROTE. (John Clute, the well-known critic, seems to be one of these. It was Covenant's Unbelief that grabbed him in the first place; in the Second Chronicles, he says with barely concealed ...

oh i defintily WILL read...absolutly (sp?) !

what i mean reaching is, you can't tell somebody why they're wrong because they didn't get a piece of art. it either gets to you, or it doesn't, that's it. to explain why i missed it, is reaching is all i'm saying.

with all due respect, stop. you're just reaching.... i was just saying pure and simple, SRD didn't grab me the way he did before. nor did he convince me of the whole thing, which he pretty much did before.... it has nothing to do with me not getting it, or being unable to suspend belief, or that in ...

please don't misunderstand me, i love going back to the land. very few books have left such an impression on me. hey, i'll say what i said earlier...LFB was so-so for me (granted upon further reflection i really like it), but remember one thing: i had up to the ILW already in print so immedeiatly re...

Troy blasted off a quick flare of wild magic because he was anguished and desperate to save Elena but one thing i do read is how desperate linden is to save her son, and how she realized that every day was one more day of torment he was suffering. so i believe she should have the same desperation. ...

as far as the esmer thing i get it... but i, personaly, don't read it that way "wasn't her's etc." in the first two chronicles, my interpretation was that his problem was being unable to use the ring (only lepers need apply). anyone else could. the moment he gave it to hile troy, hile troy...

well you know that old saying:

you say "tomato" (pronounced tomaTOE)
i say " you are so wrong"

just kidding...in the end, we'll never know....

eh, we could debate it, but i'll stick by what was written over and over in the 2nd chronicles:

TC kept realizing that she had more right to it than he did. and to her it was purely second nature.

ah, but... at the end of WGW she took the ring (without even having to touch it if i recall) just before findail could grasp it! and then she used it to create the staff of law, something that would seem far more complex than TC's use of it for mostly, (or is it all?), destruction. i don't buy the w...

What's the best movie sequel ever? Godfather II The worst? Godfather III I fear that the TC books might follow this path. Oh one other thing, I just don't get how Linden was shut off from the "white gold", especially when she was not under the influence of Kevin's Dirt. Somewhere in the 2n...

Just finished Runes, and I can't say I am moved. I found a lot of it to be forced, or contrived, especially when comparing it to the other 6 novels. Don't misunderstand, I will read them all as soon they come out, and I have to admit, Lord Foul's Bane left me "unsure". Fortunately, all but...

My least favorite character? Oh that's easy.

Jar Jar Binks.

Oops...wrong forum.

Why try to compete with the success of LOTR by producing a dark fantasy about a leper/rapist when there are *mountains* of easy fantasy out there begging to be filmed? I think that says it best. As for; We'll see writers like Feist, Brooks, Goodkind, and Jordan filmed long before any studio serious...

:!: WARNING, PROFOUND LANGUAGE ENCLOSED :!: It's going to depend on the success of TLtW&tW the what :?: as for kubrik and lynch i would not want either of them. i know i won't say this right, and this will be blasphemy to some, but if i ever have the privilage to see these books on screen, i wou...

Dude, just park your butt in the nearest Barnes & Nobles coffee shoppe, and keep an eye out for ladies in the SF/Fantasy section! Oh, and change your hair style, too. :mrgreen: seriously, believe it or not, not into sf/fantasy! these books were an exception for me, a huge exception. As for the ...
