I meant to mention that the end of GoTM gives us our first indication that Erikson struggles with the difference between "flail" and "flay." (Always annoys me when I see him get it wrong, although he doesn't always. Maybe it was his editor.

Well, I'm finished DHG. I'll save any comments here for when SB has progressed a little. Onto MoI now.

And we all know how well making the purchase of something illegal works in curbing it...

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.
