Great post, IQ. I wondered this when reading the books myself. Here are TC's dead, come to greet him in Andelain, just ghosts, and with them they have this pure, all-powerful, enigmatic creature. This is what I love about SRD. Just around the corner, there's something you'd never guess and something...

Okay, Drew, I just threw up major big time. I put that as a "dude, that's messed up" moment in another forum just last week. Gross. Dreadful. Nauseating. Sickening. I hope you were kidding!!!!!!!! If not, you've been hitting the diamondraught way too much....... Now that I have that off my...

iQuestor, you got to speak face to face with SRD??? If I saw that guy face to face, I'd be like Wayne and Garth, falling on my face saying "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy." I think SRD is an underappreciated genius. This thread is so interesting, and until I read SRD's "official"...

Thanks for the welcome, iQuestor. I'm re-reading to get ready for Fatal Revenant, you know, catching up on the story so my memories will be fresh when it gets here. More messed up moments in Rocksister's mind: Hollian's death Tuvor's "true?" moment Seadreamer's anguished death (just read t...

I haven't been here in a looooong time, folks, but I am currently re-reading the first and second chronicles for the umpteenth time in my life, and am halfway through book two of the second chrons. Every time I read the words "Elena Foul-Wife," I cringe. There are so many moments it's hard...

BAck to the original topic "Who will Linden be?" So many possibilities. Law of Death broken previously (and here's TC again back from the "dead"), etc. How about Elena? TC loved her, she was both weak and strong, she was passionate and emotional, she was dedicated and tragic, and...

Shall Pass Udderly
I mean, Shall Pass Utterly...... (oops)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it...........

Hey, Scooby, you're pretty intuitive. I did NOT put 2 + 2 together and figure out Vain's purpose with the heels of the SOL. My assumption was that he, up to this point, had proven himself pretty hard to kill/destroy/stop, whatever, so he had put on the heels to safeguard them until they fulfilled th...

I haven't visited in a while; new job, etc. I just found out October 9th is the expected release date in the US. I'm freaking out! My birthday is that weekend; what a GIFT!!! I'm going to pre-order my copy NOW. I think it's going on the best seller list immediately. Counting the days.....

Yea, the foremast ravishing line from Pitchwife was priceless. Near the end of his singular existence, when Vain speaks and blows everyone's mind, that was superb. Totally unexpected..

Wasn't Hamako from a Stonedown that got destroyed, and then his Waynhim rhysh also was destroyed? Not sure on that one. I can't choose between First and Second Chrons. The First got me hooked and made me WANT to go to the Land for all its beauty and love. The Second broke my heart to see what had ha...

Okay, I'm really pushing it here, but I know I'm not the only person here who has read the TC books more than ten times, so this will be a piece of cake. The little girl who was bitten by the snake; Why was she in that area of the woods alone?

Haven't read enough in this topic to guess the average age, but the first books were published for the first time in the 70's, right? I was just getting out of high school then (1974). I found out about TCoTC in between marriage and children (a span of eleven years, nothing else to do). Hooked immed...

Holy textbook, Batman, flashback to Philosophy and Psysics classes, circa 1993!!!! Interesting topic.

Hmm, don't know any actors with gray eyes, but if we do contact lenses, there are a number of choices. I wouldn't pick anyone too hunky, although it would be a nice boon for the ladies. Gary Oldman is so talented, and the only time I thought he was hunky was in the Dracula movie, all dressed up walk...

This is pretty far-fetched, but I believe the Land is in all of us, so to speak. So it's real. I believe it is the struggle within TC against his own self. Linden's got caught up in his because of her involvement in his life, and her refusal to leave him alone, and her own struggle within her own se...

No, they can't make a movie about a leper. Remember the outcry over the DaVinci code? There were characters in the movie over which much protestation occurred due to their portrayals. I can't even imagine how portrayal of a leper like TC would go over. There's way too much risk involved. If you can'...

Hail, Chuchi, I'm glad I'm not alone here as a Giant. As is most likely obvious, I'm a female Giant, so that's why the stories surrounding Pitchwife and the First are so attractive to me. Theirs is a love story that blossomed from tragedy. You know how us girls are suckers for love stories! Matter o...

HELP!!! I went to Dissecting the Land and all I see are first and second chronicles chapters. Someone please point me in the right direction. I only got to read Runes once and had to take it back to the library. I plan to buy it, but want hardback and cannot find it. So your dissection will be a gre...
