Marvin, tell me a snippet about Carrion Comfort. I read horror, sci fi and fantasy exclusively; nothing else makes my brain "work." I have a whole collection of vampire books, including Stoker's original Dracula novel. My favorite of all time so far is Jeanne Kalogridis's trilogy "Dia...

That 70's show. Sorry, it was my era and brought back some grand memories. Chukka boots, the advent of foreign cars into American society, flower power, Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton, etc., tight disco pants, roller skating, "the circle," I could go on and on. I loved Hyde and Red the most....

I've been trying to justify you
In the end I will just deny you
To those who understand
I exend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am

I just joined the Watch, so I had no idea. Now I know and it is firmly ingrained in my brain. I know he won't get this, but SRD, I hope your birthday was grand. Thank you for bringing me the most joy I have ever found elsewhere in the world of reading. Of all the tens of thousands of authors on eart...

Move over Lord Foul, I'm coming in right after you. I saw a tidbit on one of the entertainment shows about this a few weeks ago. I researched online until my surfing fingers bled. Last word is the movie is a no-go. But Damon? Uh uh. I'd NOT go see that. Unknowns. Yes. Like TNG. I didn't expect anyth...

Reading, for the umpteenth time, ALL the TC books. Am into number four now; will be done with all six (don't own ROTE yet, but have read it from the library) in a couple of weeks. I devour books. Can't get enough of the TC chronicles. I believe SRD is a genius, but just wish I didn't need a dictiona...

In ROTE, Linden should have been old enough to be in the throes of menopause. She would not have needed a Staff of Law, Earth-sight, a doctor's degree, orcrest, a white gold ring, Earthpower, NOTHING. Being in the mere proximity of a woman in that condition would have all enemies begging for quick, ...

"Bump for Rocksister"? Rocksister is here and interested in EVERYTHING TC-related. If I missed this one (it takes a lifetime to read every post from day one, and I'm totally new here), I own a study Bible and in front of it, it contains some Jewish translations. They list Elohim as meaning...

I'm a newbie; I haven't read all the gradual interviews at SRD's site. Guess I'd better break myself in right proper and head on over there. Thanks, Watchers.

My ex-sister-in-law, God bless her forever, loved SF and fant, and had read LFB and let me borrow it. I was insanely addicted immediately. This was the late 70's. We kept reading what came...

Speaking of the words of power; the books say there are seven; I count six. Am I reading them wrong? Melenkurion abatha! Duroc minas mill khabaal! If anyone want to look, in the paperback edition of Power That Preserves from 1993, page 352, about four paragraphs down, where Mhoram has entered the Ra...

Thanks for the welcome, Jwaneeta. Usivius, I am going to kick myself. I have Daughter of Regals, as well as all SRD's books except the Axbrewder series. (Read one, didn't care for it. ) I will dig it back out (DOR) and read Korik's mission story. I also read a collection of SRD's short stories, but ...
