This is a great topic. I just "did" the 1st chrons again, and I don't know if it is the perspective I've gained through this sight, (True statement, been around for a few months, my TC edge has never gleemed as giddily.) or age, but I almost forgave TC immediatley after raping Lena. I'm no...

Oh I tried the seven... incoherent jibbertalk, but a puzzle I'm still trying to crack!

Q: Why are Gravelingas' constantly late for everything?

A: They're always stoned.

Dr. Ian and Dr. Crocker are produce specialists, known around the world as "healers" of crops, plant whisperers so to speak. They rushed to the sight of a major honeydew epidemic. Crouched beside a pile of withering honeydews, Dr. Crock surveys the damage and says, "We must act quickl...

Thomas Covenant is lost, so he calls his pal Esmer for directions. Esmer gives him complex instructions to reach his destination, and days later, under a blistering sun, Covenant stumbles underneath a gigantic tree in full bloom. As he struggles to look up, he sees Esmer, next to an equally gigantic...

FR stands for Fluid Replenishment in my book! The Mahdoubt's exit was written so that I felt myself fading, and affected me unlike prior deaths in the series. (Never to discount some of them, Foamfollower certainly among the most poignant.) There was a loveliness to her character, (shivers), I can s...

I'll be doing no slapping, trout or otherwise. Thanks everyone for sharing thusfar! I am a burgeoning stand up comic, and do a bit about believing I had super powers when I was young. Getting to the conclusion that I did not makes for a pretty funny bit, but the actual disappointment was devastating...

Saltheart Foamfollower, "Joy is in the ears that hear..." I just posted that same quote somewhere else! I'm a standup comic, and a huge music fan... this one is true!

Stone and Sea, when the 2nd Chrons kick off... I had the same feeling. That's when I knew I was hooked, I cared so much! Oh the Land! And I'm all for healthy debate... I even like to argue. Grendel exists so Beowulf can be heroic... but Grendel dies yeah? As Walter states in The Big Lebowski, "...

Done enough back reading to know this isn't a haters forum, Linden aside. Just floored at the bashing LFB/Chrons 1&2 were taking! I returned cans to purchase TPTP, and I consider the passion I've read on the Watch validation, though none is really required... nobody read these books to be cool, ...

Hello Watchers, Fairly new to the Watch and loving it... thank you all. Been reading a thread in which LFB is being discounted as rubbish, and it got my memory in motion. The year was 2002. An old roomate of mine stored his bookcase in my room, filled with a literal hodgepodge. Fiction, Non, Religeo...

Life as a douchebag hasn't been easy, that I'll admit. How could I know anything wrapped in any level of obscurity? Neil Who-man? Isaac Whatsimov? Adolph Hitman? Never heard of 'em! Guess I'm more akin to the "retards" of the land than I am the Endless. And all dedicated readers remember h...

Hmmmm, Don't really know where to begin... so much has been said already, just stick with my 2 cents. I think the overall critisism of time travel as a cop out device in every case is pretty unfair, especially considering THE ARCH OF TIME is at stake. Seems pretty logical, and is being used in a ver...

Hmmm... So, catch me if I'm wrong, but Linden is the first officially titled "Unfettered One." (I always loved the lil' prose piece... Unfettered, free...) This is interesting, but how does the Unfettered "tradition" as it were, continue after Linden's unintentional christening a...

In the words of Bartholamew, "There's your answer fishbulb." Thanks for the indulgence!

Brand new to the Watch... have said in first 2 posts... will say again here. Thank you all so much! This discussion forum is as intelligent and thought provoking as any in any arena. Hope to do what I can in this sea of brains!

Hello all, today is my first day as a member on Kevin's Watch... long overdue! I've been reading these discussions for a long while, and am glad to be a part of it all. You guys are great, thanks to you all... nothing as inspiring or profound as minds at work. As I read, and re-read ROTE and FR, the...

First time, long time. Have had a blast reading Kevin's Watch for a long time, thanks everyone for keeping such a great discussion about a great author so compelling to read! Had to add 2 cents on this one. The Third Chronicles are fantastic. First thought. Was talking about THIS discussion with a f...
