Re: Lord Mhoram's Victory ...
It's been quite a few years since I read the First Chronicles, but it seems to me that I'm getting quite a different view of things than the rest of you did. Not that Mhoram isn't an admirable character, but rather that his greatest victories came when he went beyond the restrictions placed on him ...

Re: berek question
The scene in the bar made it seem like Berek was from Earth. Is that true? Well, if that kind of question could be answered absolutely, the whole <I>Unbelief</I> aspect of the books would be gone. That being said, no, Berek was not from the Earth that Covenant was from. Oh and in response to anothe...

and Donaldson does like to give us back beautiful things broken... VERY well put!! How true. (But at least he fixed Foamfollower before the end. I guess we should be grateful. :)) You will find that my belief in my own arguments are not quite as easily defeated. :) Have at thee!! (M' man! :)) I am ...

<U>The Gunslinger</U> (isn't that the first book of the series?) didn't do it for me. I was sorry that it didn't, because I think King is fantastic at times. <U>Firestarter</U> and <U>The Dead Zone</U> are, imo, the best books of the genre. <U>The Stand</U> fascinated me throughout, although the end...

making me think... what is the Power That Preserves Gold, shmold. I say TPTP is Giantish laughter! heh... if you can't overpower an evil lord, throw koans at him. ROFL! <I>And the Illearth War came to an end, because the Despiser sat in the corner for two millennia, trying to clap with one hand. Co...

I hope this does not seem too critical, I have really tried to be objective. Not too critical for my tastes. Not by a long shot! I <I>love</I> taking things to these lengths and detail! Nor is your objectivity in question. There's nothing remotely insulting to me in any of this. I think it might ma...

I make my own Vow here and now! I Vow to change Drinny's view of this issue. I goal well worth any effort. (And I hope you'll all think it's worth reading this sort of long post!:)) It was not a weakness or failing of any sort for Mhoram to make that decision. In fact, it was brave beyond brave. He ...

The Healer
Anybody else <I>love</I> this woman? She amazed me. She "surrendered to the secret power yearning for birth within her," and took the Rites of Unfettering. She came to regret that decision, because of the pain this power forced her to endure. She ended up living as a hermit for four or fiv...

Let's hear if for Mhoram!
Just some of my favorite moments of Mhoram's, or about him. "All right. So you're right. Tell me, just where the hell do you get hope?" Slowly, the Giant rose to his feet. He towered over Covenant until his head nearly touched the ceiling. "From faith." "You've been dealing ...

I'm going with <I>ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol</I>. I think that, as the ultimate <I>Haruchai</I>, he would have known: not to take the Bloodguard Vow, because it couldn't work with their no-weapons/power lives; or how to reconcile their philosophy with the choices they would have to make while serving...

And congrats to you Syl. Hoo Rah!!:) My wife is actually fairly recovered already. She had another stellar delivery. Three kids, and she hasn't yet gotten to the hospital more than two hours before delivery. She complains about the whole thing, and every other woman who's had a baby tells her to shu...

WOT quizzes
I just took the <I>Lords of Lord's Keep</I> quiz. I don't remember 4 of Kevin's Wards being found. The Giants brought the 1st, they found the 2nd at the end of LFB, and Amok/EarthBlood/PoC was the 7th. Am I forgetting something, or is the quiz wrong? I really wish there was a way to assure accuracy ...
