Quick note: At the reading in Portland, OR for the release of FR, SRD commented on the cover art, and the fact that it was entirely inappropriate for the book. He stated, "I know you're all wondering what Gandalf is doing on the cover of my book. But don't worry, it's not Gandalf; it's actually...

Linden Avery brought back Thomas Covenant. And you think she should be forgiven for this? She explicitly ignored the one thing Covenant asked her to do... to trust herself. Instead, she spends the whole of FR whining* to herself that she can't do anything without Covenant, and even goes so far as t...

It's stated in the text that there are other powers (note the plural) in Andelain, and that one of them has commanded the Dead not to council Linden until after she has made her choice. My question is... WHY?!?!? What kind of villain won't let TC say "Hey babe, you know how you're planning to b...

(Quick explanation: I've been waiting to read FR for my wife to catch up, as she is still in the middle of WGW. However, on Christmas Day she was reading WGW in the living room, her father was reading the paper, her mother was cooking and I was playing UT3. She decided it would be better if I were ...

Question about "What makes us Human": Why is it called this? It was apparently about the meeting with a non-living vessel, but I was never sure that there weren't living beings on it. After all, it was capable of things that the Asterians never imagined being possible (specifically, FTL tr...

Cary Elwes as TC
Linus Roache as Troy
Chow Yun Fat as Bannor
Jason Isaacs as Lord Foul

I'd love to get Paul Giamatti in there, but I can't think of any good roles for him

"To you I do not speak. I have not spoken to you. There was no need — is none. I speak to set the feet of my hearers upon the paths I design for them, but your path has been mine from the first. You have been well bred to serve me, and all your choices conduce to my ends. To attain that which ...

OK, I've read the first Chronicles several times, but this is only my second time through the 2nd (I am, unbelievably, holding off on reading FR until my wife catches up, though). Anyway, I was struck by two things: First, I don't think Foul had any knowledge of Linden at all until she and TC showed...

A quick note about last night: Well, he is an amazing speaker, and also extremely generous to his fans (he patiently signed 8 books for us, and allowed us to take a picture with him) :) SRD read a portion of the prologue to ROTE, where Linden arrives at Haven Farm looking for Roger, and finds Sandy ...

Thanks everyone. I have been reading the GI, but I'm only halfway through 2005 so far. So while I have a pretty good idea of the kinds of questions he won't answer, I'm not entirely sure what has been asked (as there are still a few hundred pages that I haven't read yet :) ). Anyway, if anyone else ...

So I just registered here, for one express purpsoe. SRD is coming to Portland next week, and I'm planning on going to meet him. I've been an SRD fan since high school (10 years ago), and I've even read some of these forums... but I've never posted before. So, that's me :) Anyway, what should I expec...
