This is slightly off the topic but I find it curious that Donaldson states he does not think in images but words. Surely the two are inseparable. He has created this amazing fantasy world replete with imagery and detailed descriptions. The architecture of Revelstone, the details of Sarangrave, i me...

It might be helpful if people here, who are familiar with the GI thought of a list of some of those frequent questions and sent them to the webmaster, at least so they'd have a start. To require them to read it is not possible, but maybe a link the the submission form would first take you to the FAQ...

Wow, makes me regret there was just no way I could shoehorn a run over to Ft. Lah-ti-dah (Lauderdale to most folks) for the conference. Thanks for the spy job, it certainly takes a bit of the sting out of the wait for more. I was hoping you'd post! May I recommend Mi Casa in that area for Mexican fo...

My humble opinion came up with something similar for unhermeneuticable :) It's just a more general definition, from what dictionary, I forget: unhermeneuticable - adjective - see hermeneutics - noun - the science of interpretation and explanation; exegesis; esp., that branch of theology which define...

Here's a little elaboration on two or three of the words: glode - noun - [obsolete] 1. a place free from brushwood 2. a bright place in the sky; a flash of light - verb - past tense of glide jacol - noun - obsolete form of jackal jerrid - noun - a blunt javelin used in military games in Moslem count...

LOTR has been around longer and is more well-known than TCTC, so I think SRD gets more of the bum deal when it comes to people griping about TCTC being deritive (which, in a positive sense it is, as SRD has said all along), though those who have not read LOTR or Tolkien in general will complain abou...

I don't think I want to submit myself to reading what looks to be pretty certainly a moral, if not legal, rip-off of TCTC (the excerpt on michaelwarden.com was enough), but for those who are curious and don't wish to support the author, it occurred to me that buying used from amazon.com's private se...

Like Tolkien and other fantasists, Donaldson invents new words Tolkien, a philologist would have said he rediscovered old words. Donaldson uses words people don't always use, in ways they aren't always used. If the dust is articulated, it is either talking or has jointed limbs. Like many Donaldson ...

but her [Linden's] conflicts are pretty well resolved and there are no fresh internal conflicts facing her at the beginning of Runes. I agree with this. Her main objective in this is opening salvo (and I agree with others that it appeals less to some members precisely because it is setting up mater...
