Donaldson's lost it, and these last three books have been shadows of his prior work. Thanks Steve for giving me back something broken. I re-read the entire thread just to find this quote. Can't say it any better, except I'm not sure he's lost it rather the cost of "finding it" seems to ha...

Every day I can't help but think this is like a sunbane that lasts years or decades. This place is the only place that understands what that means, even if you may not agree with it! (I've just come to recharge, bicker away.)

Love your moniker also - anybody ever considered a Pern/Land crossover?

I used to wonder if SRD was a Genesis fan until I saw he said he only listens to classical... so much of their early stuff (ie Gabriel-era plus W&W) evokes the Land for me it seemed very possible that SRD was listening to it. A roommate loaned his Genesis records right as I was starting LFB and...

Hello everybody. Read LFB as a freshman in college and have been hooked ever since. (Anybody else get a white gold wedding ring because of SRD? I can't be the only fanatic!) Stumbled across ROTE in a local bookstore long after resigning new adventures in The Land to fond memory. Sloooowly savored FR...
