Dude. What on earth was it doing in the children's section?

Hey I just posted an essay I wrote about the First and Second Chronicles in the Hall of Gifts. It's long, and academic (read:dry) but if you're interested, check it out. Comment on it here, or in the Hall. PS In my noobishness, I am unable to figure out how to link it here. I'd put the URL but anywh...

Foreword: This is an essay I recently wrote for my religious studies paper proposing a (kinda unorthodox) reading of the first two Chronicles of Thomas Covenant trilogies. For those who do not know via affirmativa and negativa, they are spiritual techniques for achieving union/enlightenment/god-cons...

How would I go about linking the two posts? Just put the URL in?

I feel very hesitant posting on this thread. I did not know Furl Falls and do not know any of you yet. This is obviously a very personal topic, and I hope no-one feels that a stranger is invading their privacy. But I feel compelled to share with you how deeply moved I have been by everything I have ...

Not to dis new zealand, but NYS alone has over 6000 square miles of protected park area...actual wild areas, Central Park, NYC doesn't count. [NZ as a nation has just shy of 12,000 square miles.] The difference, of course, is that NZ will probably KEEP theirs protected. And the people are nicer. I ...

Q: What did the Zen Master say to the hot dog vendor?

A: "I'll have One with everything."

Hile Troy has some interesting things to say on this. Some point early on in The Illearth War he says that "grey is the colour of 'reality'". There are very clear lines in the Land between good and evil, health and sickness, nature and Despite. The ability to directly perceive the nature o...

The Malvern Hills in England were beautiful, but there were less trees than I pictured in Andelain. Also, from the top you looked out on farmland, not wilderness. Failing that, come to New Zealand! I know we already claimed Middle Earth, but we have many national parks where development has always b...

Thanks guys. One question. I have an essay I wrote on the first and second Chronicles for university. My lecturer liked it, got a decent mark, but I'd like to hear what the Covenant fans think. It's 3000 words long, though, which seems way too hefty to dump in a normal post. Is there somewhere that ...

I found Kevin's Watch just the other day through SD's own website. In the interview section, there was a list of questions from you guys, and after trawling through many rather generic interviews, it was clear you guys really knew your stuff. I was impressed, so headed on over.

Hi everyone, one more newbie on the Watch, looking out over the panorama of warm communal fandom.

I urge almost everyone I meet to read Donaldson, but I meet disappointingly few who got there before me. This would seem to be the place for me.

See you around!
