Okay, I've read AGOT and loved it...so then I went and got ACOK and ASOS...I've read ACOK and honestly...I was so damn depressed after that book I couldn't bring myself to start on ASOS... I just wanna know...are the bad-guys(Lannisters) ever NOT going to get their way..?.Man, with Eddard gone I've ...

I could've sworn my name was missed off as well, but now I see it there. I suppose I might as well answer the thread question while I'm here. I do write, in bits and pieces and (alas) never quite complete stories. Recently I've been setting more and more of my fragments in a city setting, somewhere...

The Elder Gods: Book One of the Dreamers (David&Leigh Eddings)

My wife got it for $5 out of a bargain bin in Wal-Mart...Hardcover too!

Hey cool, I'm glad people are getting into writing ! Yeah, I can honestly say that my PC (message board) time has been cut back because I am writing a novel right now. I don't have a map sketched, but it's in my mind. Languages- I gotta say I use a different language for spell-speak, but other than ...

let's see remembering back to high school....the ones I remember being forced to read are: Scarlet Letter - hated it The Color Purple - hated it Catcher in the rye - hated it Julius Caeser - thumbs up The Illiad and The Oddysey - thumbs up The Canterbury Tales - thumbs up Sir Gawain and The Green Kn...

Damnit ! :evil: I'm reading Song of Ice and Fire series and finished the first book, then went to Barnes and Noble's website and bought the next two books and realized I could get free shipping with another book purchase- long story short- I bought the two box sets of the Sword of Truth Series books...

Thanks everyone !

Wow ! 3 yrs old and 18 yrs old....that's quite a difference.

My stepdaughter is 11 yrs and MY oldest is 4, I thought <i>we</i> had an age gap...well, at least you've got yourself an in-home babysitter !

A few of you may remember a couple of months ago I told you my wife was pregnant....well...on Sunday February 26th 2006 at 11:24 a.m. my darling wife gave birth to our final child and FOURTH daughter. Her name is Alice Ann, at the time of birth she was 21" long and weighed 6lbs 15.2 oz , and sh...

I was honestly amazed that Oy lived as long as he did. Right from the first when he went after the Tick-Tock Man I was so sure that Oy was a goner, and just about every confrontation afterword I figured he'd get killed...thank god he didn't, I don't think I ever read something where I liked a certai...

Well, Sunday Night I finished DT7...and fo course I didn't stop reading after King suggested to... Man, I love that series, I was captured by every novel and in the end....I neither liked nor hated the ending either way. Losing Eddie and Jake so close together was something I wasn't ready for, hones...

Man, I've been M.I.A. for a bit now. I got book four finished and broke down and bought the last three ( I'm addicted.)I'm spending my income tax apparently making sure Stephen King has plenty of money...in just under 8 days I managed to acquire all 7 books... I'm starting book 7 today. I've never r...

I just got my Income Tax refund and went nuts ! lol A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin and... The "Dark Tower Box Set" which is the first four books in the series. Anyone read any of these books I've purchased ? I bought them entirely based on synopsis and a few reader reviews...but I...

I agree Tull's actions were just a result of being overwhelmed. If you want further insight into the mind of the Haruchai, I suggest reading "Gilden-Fire" which is a few pages cut from TIW by Donaldson. You can find "Gilden-Fire" in the new release of "Daughters of Regal&quo...

I wanted to use Foamfollower or Lord Mhoram because they were two of my favorite characters from the Chrons...But of course several people had already chosen names based on them and who could fault them for having such good taste right ? ;) Luke is the name I go by seeing as how I share the same nam...

burgs brought up a good point there about Jeremiah at the end of Runes. Funny thing is, about two months ago my dad and I were talking about Runes and he said the same thing burgs did. ie Jeremiah has his wits about him at the end of Runes. And it was like an explosion in my brain. I could have slap...

Here's where TC says it: WGW page 471: "Caer-Caveral made it all possible.Hile Troy."An old longing suffused his tone."That was the 'necessity' he talked about.Why he had to give his life.It was the only way to open that particular door.So that Hollian could be brought back. And so th...

The pinky finger reassures your hand's grip.

An Uncle of mine is a coal miner and he had one of his pinky fingers ripped off in an accident and he claims to lack the grip he once had.

Perhaps this helps ?

Yeah, gotta give it up for Rant Absolain. It's a great name. Like I said though, I think my viewing of the LotR movies kinda influenced my feelings about him for some strange reason. 2 x 4 of Justice...lmao strangely enough, unlike some others...I loved Lord Foul. He's a splendid "bad-guy"...

Well, I've lived in West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and currently live in Tennessee. I'd say considering they simply drove to Louisiana, and the way Sherriff Lytton spoke, and being someone who says 'Hellfire" alot....actually it's more like "hellfar"lol, which is common arou...
