Oh yes. Cool I have the feeling that this trilogy by Bakker will be like Donaldson or Dune or Tolkien for me - something I will come back and reread again and again over the years and still keep discovering new facets to it and new brilliance in it. I agree, I kind of blasted through the series. I ...

Did anyone else get an advance readres copy of Runes? I read that version first and have subsequently read the published version a "few" times (yes I'm manic, I know). Now I am going back to give the ARC another go. Has anyone found any differences in the final version compared to the ARC?...

When did Kevin's Dirt start? When Linden took the staff from the past to the present. Actually it was generations before that if I'm not mistaken. Linden observed from atop Kevin's Watch when she first re-entered the land. But why is it named Kevin's Dirt? Surely Kevin had something to do with it. ...

I am positively drooling now.... Oct 21 is so far away!!!! Its torture!!!!

It's even worse knowing the answers to your speculations and not being able to say anything...

When does that second book come out again??

I'm well into my third read.

I think I'll reserve judgement until I have the whole story, but in this first book I find her to be a much stronger person, if not character. Her ignorance of many facets of TC's previous visit to the land without her and the times at which they were separarated during their trip together make for ...

Damn, this story has sunk it's eerie tendrils into my psyche much sooner than I expected. Can't stop thinking about it. I didn't wait more than an hour before I picked it back up. You guys & gals shall not be dis-appointed (get it..? appointed?? ;) HA, I kill me...) But seriously folks... Good s...

It's like that sickening feeing you got as a kid if you found some of your Christmas presents hidden in your Mum & Dad's room. You still looked for them and ripped the corner off the wrapping, but how much did you wish you hadn't?? It wasn't like that at all... I've waited a LLOONNGG time for t...

Worth every damn penny

Just finished about 5 minutes ago. Can't wait to read it again...

Just came in the mail. I was actually shaking as I was opening the package. Perfect timing. Just finished WGW last night.
I promise not to say a word unless asked and then I guess only by PM.

Here we go....!

Anyone else pick up one of these uncorrected proofs? I've got one one the way. Should be here in a couple days. I'm so damn excited I can't sleep. Anybody else get one? After waiting for so long it's going to be very strange reading this book. Anyone know what the differences are in this uncorrected...

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll release the other 6 as well...

Maybe in a sense, but seriously, every time I pick up one of these books, I notice something I never noticed before, or I put together a connection I never realized. I guess I just enjoy inhabiting the Lan as well as the Earth. I'ts like my home away from home.

Think we'll see Nom again?

I'm 34 and I also have read the Chronicles every year since I was 13 or so. Sometimes once a year, sometimes 4 times. Haave no Idea of an actual number, probably in the upper 30's somewhere. I am basically reading it at all times, even if I have another book going...which is most of the time. Someti...

How many people in this forum now?
If we each take a couple chapters.....

Finished The One Tree last night. All psyched to knock off the first
couple chapters of White Gold Wielder. Not on the shelf. AAAAAKK...What the hell am I supposed to do at work today????

1. Any scene involving NOM.

2. Isle of the Elohim.

3. Scenes up to and including the
destruction of the master Ruhk.

I too pretty much am constantly reading and re-reading the chrons. In fact I just started The Wounded Land again yesterday for the second time in a month. A shaft of vermeil as straight as the line between life and death shot toward the sun. It crackled like a discharge of lightning; but it was stea...

Sometimes I like to read the second trilogy first, then read the first. It kind of gives a different outlook of the series as a whole. Lots of references back and forth that are more obvious when read in that way... SRD can take a single sentence from the first series and turn it into an entire them...
