FR was certainly and truly a wonderful read for me. As some pointed out, there has been a lot of discovery here, some wonderful (The Insequents and Viles arc) some deplorable at least in a way (The Old Lords have lost much of their charisma). But all in all, I just can't wait for the next installmen...

Lol, thank you for the interest and encouragements, Wyldewode, it means much :wink: And yes, languages are tough sometimes, with French you have to hold on tight. I had the chance to speak it since my childhood, and it's nothing like Spanish and German I'm struggling with. And no matters my efforts ...

Itinéraires (What's this?)

Hey people, I hope it isn't the wrong place to post this. But I've noticed there were people here who also read French so I think this is a good opportunity to share with them some writings. To keep it brief, I'm on the verge of creating a publishing company. And to acquire enough knowledge and expe...

Wonder why if the accepted it why don't they publish it now???? Oh, lol, publishing takes time. And we must be happy for the work is from SRD, a best-selling author. Cause in normal terms, the process takes even longer. Sometimes years. But, hey, I understand your impatience, I'm feeling it myself :D

I'm simultaneously reading Elric's saga and Gloriana Or the Unfulfilled Queen. I must say that the prose of Mr. Moorcock in the last one is absolutely awesome 8O

Arthur C. Clarke

Well known for nonfiction science writing and for early promotion of the effort toward space travel, his fiction was often grand and visionary.

A chance it was one I knew about !

Elfgirl> Yeah, very funny that Question :D

As Wayfriend mentioned, the topic was about the nature of the couple not their accomplishments. A nature I could not grasp somehow. I've just gone trough re-reading that scene and I think I understand better. Now I think they are more close to being Forestal than human, and their power is more like ...

Lol, interesting tread.
For me it would be :

Gene Wolfe
Guy Gavriel Kay
GRR Martin
Robin Hobb
Neil Gaiman
SRD of course
Gemmell (wish he still were with us)
Stephen King could be fun
