Well, it might take him as long to find it as for you to read DHG. :D (I know that look...mine is split between reading 24x7 and gaming 24x7 so I have it twice as bad. ;) ) Anyway, I'm a few chapters in...won't say much...met Kimloc, (I do love the Gral impersonation) and we learn a little about Kal...

I mean, he was like 12 years old...

Yeah, anyway, I see Fist answered the Rake question...a lot of questions tend to end up answered in the books by subsequent (or sometimes earlier) books.

And I'm reading Deadhouse Gates as of a couple days ago.

I remember as a young man, collecting an out of print series that, without the benefit of the internet, took me years to gather from random flea markets and charity shops. Haha, I have one of those. :D (Adrian Cole, Omaran Saga). Book 5 is the ultimate examples of this. Entirety different character...

The drone attacks, while making a good display for the Iranian domestic audience, seems to have been more designed as theatre than a serious strike. I was thinking the same thing. It's possible that this could be face-saving. They have now responded to the bombing of their embassy, honour served as...

So, the GF is busy watching this even as I write, having started the series last night. My effective inability to prevent myself from explaining the surroundings and back-story makes it impossible for me to watch with her really. :D (She knows nothing about the games.) Have caught a bit here and the...

I was actually wondering last night how much of those quotes get read... And damn if I didn't just hit one of the best, which I quote since SB has obviously already read it, being ahead of me. :D Kallor said: I have walked this land when the T'lan Imass were but children. I have commanded armies a ...

I mean, good post.

Always good to see you around. I find I can no longer watch TOS.

I was actually wondering last night how much of those quotes get read...I tend to skip them quite a bit, but I do skim them to see if I can spot anything particularly relevant, which I often do. Sometimes however it won't be relevant for a long time...so long that one would have forgotten that fores...

There is only one thing to say about it...Chain of Dogs.

Thanks. :D And happy birthday to kevinswatch . :D Didn't realise our birthdays were so close. :D Well, you've only been here almost 20 years. You can't expect to notice everything all at once. I know, 4 more months...anyway, you should know by now I rarely pay attention to stuff that doesn't affect...

Pretty much exactly right. Wait 'til it starts happening with whole books.

The problem with Night of Knives is that you read about something that the characters piece together later on. I think it's cool to discover it with the characters the first time. I mean, that's a fair point, although it becomes pretty obvious fairly early in book 1...although that may be the benef...

Oof...DHG is one of the best.

Don't forget that a lot, maybe most, of US support for Israel is a result of the religious fundamentalist right, who believe something along the lines of Israel having to be there in order for the 2nd coming to happen or something.
