Happy birthday, and best wishes for at least 50 more years, so you can write many many more wonderful books! Frank Fitzpatrick

Thermo-pile was Succorso's way of pronouncing it.

YAY! Great job all! I'm guessing that after the FR flames die down a dissection of FK will begin. If so... sign me up. Never done a dissect before, but sure enjoyed reading yours. stutt Yep, that seems to be the end. I think my final blasphemous comment about Thomas Covenant killed off any remainin...

I just started reading TRS today. I am now currently reading chapter ten and I cannot help but pick it apart a little. Why did Morn not give up Angus while they were being questioned? Stockholm Syndrome? If he had her zone implant on so that she couldn't talk, wouldn't the authorities recognize thi...

I want to scream "JUST GET OVER IT!" at Nick.

But just wait until you read more . . .
No spoiler here!

Yes, Auleliel!

hehe

And Thomas covenant could speak and be understood by people in SRD's world because he was so outLANDish himself, which is also the name of the language spoken there . . . OutLandish.

Self-groan.

um....frank....robert jordan DID die already. (assuming that's who you meant when you said "wish the Best of Health to SRD, GRRM and RJ ") charleston.net/news/2007/sep/17/robert_jordan_dies_at_age16247/ Yes Cpl Lather, RJ did = Robert Jordan. When I read burgs post, I was assuming my info...

www.georgerrmartin.com Jordan is terminal, but he's still writing. See dragonmount.com for more on that. . . . this is a rather LATE reply. Thanks for the URL. And let's all wish the Best of Health to SRD, GRRM and RJ, the writers we fervently hope won't die before finishing all the great books we'...

yes, there is a "we love ANgus" thread somewhere there... however, you will not find me on it, other than to bitch ... ;) :lol: Love him as a character, but not as a human being... Well, I don't think I'd actually even like him if I met him face to face, but he's one of my favorite charac...

Donaldson, in this series, seems to suggest that fate or our past environment determines what our action are. Determinism, I think it's called. Even when characters change as the story unfolds, it's not by free will, it's by the existing characteristics of others, not by things they consciously do....

I don't think it's so much the past events determining what the characters do, but more the way the characters choose to deal with the events. I agree. But the protagonists [plural] all have to deal with things that they don't know the truth about. During the "present," I mean, within the...

Is there a "we love angus" thread? 'Cause if there isn't, there should be... Angus for President - And Lord Foul for Vice-President . . . or should that be President of Vice? I write music. Maybe I should write a sick We Love Angus song. I shudder a bit, too, to say I love good ole Anggy.

Actually, I was speaking metaphorically in "saving the fair maiden." I know he didn't do it out of some sense of responsibility or heroism or anything like that. He liked what he saw and took it. Just like Nick did. But, Morn did try to kill herself on the bridge of Bright Beauty in one o...

Ahar! As the ore pirates say. Yer right as rain! Shiver me timbers, if it don't looks to me like ye been readin' ahead on us. I also eschew obfuscation, by the way, but with a little salt and vinegar! In the first two Covenant chronicles sets, I think SRD was working very hard on his vocabulary-buil...

Oh, yeah. I've noticed that replies have steadily dwindled as the chapter numbers progressed, and more importantly, once Fatal Revenant was released. That's only natural. And I think that's the REAL STORY about this Group Read. Now I'm stuck in the middle of reading the Gap series, beginning Fatal R...

I won't spoil the rest of the series for you, but Morn's actions are not as vacuous or irrational as they seem.

Probably for the first time in his life, Angus has to put himself completely in the power of another human being in an attempt to save himself. He was in the power of others as a child, but not through his own actions.

I've read the series before. I loathe Angus - having been a rape victim myself in childhood - but after reading the series, I came to hate Nick even more.

You're a fillin! Wow, nice job, Cameraman Jenn! The oddly phrased things Nick says - which do eventually have significance - are a flaw I see in the book. (I say this in my review of Chapter 16, too.) I just don't believe someone could make something specific out of them no matter how much time you ...
