I like the stand-up that uses those comparisons. Letter from civil war soldier to wife: "My dearest Maria, the days are long and I am unable to dissremember our nights together under the stars when we knew our love would last forever" Letter from Gulf war soldier to wife: "Deer maria,...

I know it's intentionally silly, but the constant usage of foul language…etc. Oh well. Different strokes. I’ll stick to Dave Barry. :)

That's a good point. It's still sophomoric as far as I'm concerned...but I can be a bit of a bore. :)

Re: Saddith only a pawn in game of life.

...telling Eremis about the secret passage through her wardrobe--must have been a calculated thing. This seems very accurate to me--a good read! I hope you'll come join us in the Mordant's Need Group Read "Casting the Augury" forum, Lord Slaytan, I'll bet your ideas will really add to the...

Of course, there are plenty of strong women in Mordant as well, but then, they seem to have the advantage of noble birth. True, but what real power did they really have? It didn't seem that they were ever allowed to make any decisions that could, or would, decide Mordant's fate. Oh yeah...thanks fo...

Re: How awesome was Lebbick?

...my god. I cried for the man on my most recent read. I know what you mean. I reread the series just last month. I didn't know that Runes of the Earth had come out until I saw it in the library. I was so friggin' excited that SRD was at it again. I had read every book of his before...numerous time...

Saddith only a pawn in game of life.

What would it be like to live in a world where women have absolutely no power? Not even power to govern themselves? How would a woman, who wants more for herself than to be a mans concubine, seamstress, or cook, go about gaining said power? With her feminine wiles, of course. I, for one, cannot blam...

The people of the land still speak a rich, vibrant, and luxurious language that the people of our world had long let go of. I think it is just one more way to show the purity of The Land and the rotting of our own. For me, SDR found an exceptional way to teach me a love for the English language. I o...
