Check out this video and tell me it doesn't make you think of Hile Troy. He's been blind from birth -- and he paints. I think he's been transported here from the Land.

I heard that Beaver Cleaver's father cloned himself six times before they all entered the Land. It took the Lords forever to find all seven Wards.

Did you hear that Thomas Covenant looked into the mouth of the ur-viles' perfect creation and removed a piece of paper that said "Mhoram"? Apparently he took the Lord's name in Vain.

2: Who's there?
1: She Who Must Not Be Named.
2: She Who Must Not Be Named Who?
1: I was hoping you'd tell me.

...I've just started reading it, and it's actually pretty good. As soon as I've finished I'll let everyone know more.

Thanks guys! This is so exactly how Mhoram looks in my mind that it's eerie. SbShoe: This is Mhoram more specifically in the midst of TPTP, when he knows the secret of Desecration, but is still putting on a brave (but tired) face as the leader of Revelstone. Could I suggest a neat trick? Cover up th...

Thanks everyone! No problem on critiques or whatever -- these are purposefully "sketch this out in no more than 10 minutes" and leave the warts alone. Wayfriend caught on to the purpose: I'm really just putting what exists in my mind's eye onto paper, whether it's perfect or not. I'm not a...

Wocka wocka...

Alright, it was inevitable that I'd be posting in this section at some point -- is this better?

With all the time hopping, one of the Wards might have been Jeremiah's race car or pajamas or something. (Haven't yet read AATE to see how ridiculous this may or may not be)

Hockey games have three periods, but I cheekily like to refer to the third as the "third half." And Car Talk has three halves -- but don't drive like my brother.

Thanks, SD! Of course I had "poster's regret" after posting and nitpicking my own argument last night -- I went so far as to wonder if a halfhand's number of fingers ( 8 ) was symbolic of anything ( 7+1? ).

I always seemed to think it symbolized a gradual movement from wedding ring (left hand) to symbol of his own power (right hand), but that seems secondary to the practical consideration of TC's gauntness. Personally speaking, I was a lot heavier when I got married; once so far -- and probably again, ...

A couple weekends ago we went to see Wreck-it Ralph , the latest Disney/Pixar movie. It was pretty good. And, since my reading-life is knee-deep in Thomas Covenant -- I'm into the first few chapters of Fatal Revenant, reading the Last Chronicles for the first time -- I couldn't help but see some sim...

I'm only a book into the Last Chronicles, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to see A Clash of Rings.

Wayfriend -- if the main character is a gravelingas, it obviously has to be A Flame of Stones.

I'm picturing some fan fiction about a gravelingas of Mithil Stonedown, finding a family of five orphaned kresh pups near Kevin's Watch, and considers bringing them home to his kids -- and then sees a sixth pup the color of WHITE GOLD...

Have just changed my status for The Runes of the Earth on Goodreads from "currently reading" to "READ." That last sentence ranks up there with "Nom." from the middle of The One Tree as a mind-blowing sucker-punch, doesn't it? I'm also thinking about how I really like th...
