I watch it when I have a chance. Pretty funny show and one of the few reality shows that doesn't completely suck (Cops, People's Court, and Elimidate are the only others that I can stand to watch on a regular basis.)

I scored 11.

I'm an RPG freak. When you get a PS2, get FF X. In fact, anything done by SquareSoft is good. Some good PS1 RPGs: Chrono Cross, Star Ocean 3, Lunar 2, The Breath of Fire series, even heard Dragon Warrior VII is out. Speaking of Dragon Warrior, it looks like Unix and Square are merging Square is goi...

Playing Ocarina of Time for GameCube for the first time. Just got into the Fire Temple this morning before work.

Bah...I must have had a brain fart, otherwise I never would have forgotten to mention Guy Gavriel Kay.

Wow. :D The ideas you've got so far sound good. I like the idea of intercutting the rape scene with scenes from the Ritual of Desecration/the final battle at Kurash Plenethor. This would definitely be one long flick if it comes to fruition, but if they held true to your screenplay, I think it would ...

I'm a noob to these forums, and i really need to re-read the books again to refresh my memory of things, so im probably gonna say some really stupid things but you can give me a break...th whole berek and covenant bein the same person thing has a clear flaw that i can see, i could be wrong here but...

It's already been said, but definitely check out George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. :D - Tad Williams: The Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy - L.E. Modesitt, Jr.: The Saga of Recluce - J.V. Jones: The Book of Words trilogy and The Sword of Shadows trilogy - Sean Russell: The Swan's War trilog...

This is from The Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion : Ahamkara (Hindu), Sanskrit; ego, I-consciousness, a part of the antahkarana , the inner organ, which gives rise to all mental processes. Ahamkara is the motivator of thought that creates the notion that one is a unique entity separa...

Glad to hear that Whelan will be doing the new covers. I really like the stuff I've seen him do in the past. Sweet seems to be constitutionally incapable of drawing a cover that actually reflects anything from the books. I've got old copies of the Chronicles that I picked up at a secondhand bookstor...

Yes. I've found that this has been the case with many books that I read some time ago then came back to them later. I appreciated the Chronicles a lot more upon subsequent readings of them and look forward to reading them again very soon....when I finish re-reading the book I'm on now.

It's pretty good, but not the most memorable fantasy ever. I will say that even this effort is head and shoulders above some of the dreck I've had the displeasure of reading *cough*Goodkind*cough* in the past.

Fist and Faith wrote:Everything we do is done in the shadow of death. Consciously or not, everything is done with it in mind. Recklessness is in the face of death, and patience is in defiance of it. We would be entirely different, as individuals and as a species, without death looming over us.

Very well said.

I discovered the Chronicles several years ago and just now found Kevin's Watch while searching for something Chronicle-related on Google. Now I just have to content myself with reading the Chronicles again while waiting for Runes of the Earth.

The other thing to note is that building a raft to carry all of them might have _taken_ those four days... did any of them have appropriate tools along? Hatchets? Rope? And do _you_ want to be the one cutting down trees in Andelain? Not to mention, what if a desert sun had come along during that ti...

I've been suckered into being a WoT fan simply because it was the first big fantasy series I read. As a result, I want to see how it ends. Plus, in spite of it's problems, Jordan still had a somewhat decent story and interesting characters. A shame some of his more recent books have been crap.-jay ...
