Innocence lost is one "the" themes of literature, art and life. I think the process and the events that lead to the inevitable loss of innocence is the story of our lives, our society, history well just about everything really. It is closely linked to the gradual erosion of idealism. We al...

A berk. Well I did find him irritating but hey any love triangle does that to a man I would argue. Well and to be the only guy in the history of the land who goes around wearing sunnies reeks of pretension. He probably just wore them so he could perve on all the good lookin' babes in armour that wer...

I read both chronicles again over the past month. That is 30 days for 6 books. It was a journey that I had to complete. Moments that stick with me are the Kresh and the soft ones linking up with Foamfollowers legacy. A brilliant touch by Donaldson. Vain just gets better. What an enigma. Findail howe...

The list is awesome. I am starting a reread of the first chronicles. I noticed in my reading of the second chronicles a remarkable drop off of words in WGW. I think the hunting is far better previous to the last. Landwaster again I commend you for taking up the bat and running with it. An awesome re...

Talking books can be a great way to just sit back and mellow out.
Or put them on in the car.
A recorded version of the chronicles is way overdue.

Sure reading it yourself is great but hey it would be nice to have a choice and I am sure they would sell.
But is would obviously be a massive undertaking.

I think the fertile sun is the most evil sun of all. The pestilence with insects and infection would seem to be the most evil. But that fertile sun and the insane growth that it produces is surely the most manipulative of the sunbane.

In regards to preterite again. Pynchon definitely uses it as a noun to describe the people of society that have been passed over. "The preterite" Chcek out the Pynchon website on Spermitikos Logos for some very interesting stuff. Pynchon should be a necessary read for all you Donaldson fan...

Woops that was me again, regards Roynish.

All I can say is hail to this board who have run with this idea which obviously has been thought of before. But now we have a sticky and an opportunity to discuss one of the most fascinating aspects of the books. Roynish here and hail again. Suffered the roynish indignity of not being logged in. Re...

I show my ignorance on these higher powers and hidden meanings in the Chronicles.
I am not worthy "don't touch me"..

I guess gorgonzola does pack a punch.

This is a word page number list obviously. Now I go hunt for more and some definitions.

Landwaster you are a legend.

I will print this and cross reference my previous finds.

As in regards to feet problems a brief anecdote for your amusement. I used to play bass (stiil do) in a covers band many years ago. It was the last song of the night and then all of a sudden bam the most excruciting pain in my right foot. My whole foot just goes numb and the pain centres on my secon...

Now you are going to want evey person on this dam forum wanting a copy of the chronicles for the PC. Look I/we are attempting to complie a definitive and expanded list of Donaldson's language. I think a text copy would obviously be an incredible time saver. Search words etc obviously. If you can sen...

I just saw the Donaldson definition list. Its a good start but incomplete as the guy says. I think a useage sentence would be an essential part thats going to take a long time. But then hey we have till 2004 till the next chronicles. I mean just chip away at the thing but do it properly. I think Lan...

Hi there again i will post a list of the ones i have gathered so far. Thanks for the interest. I thought I was the only word-geek here for a short while.

Be back in a day or two.

Oh well i guess its back to the ultimatemetal and Iron Maiden forums for me.

Bye its been nice.
