Ah, I remember this line: "Thomas Covenant, you do not altogether comprehend Lena my mother. I am a woman -- human like any other. And I have chosen you to be my companion on this quest. Surely my choice reveals my mother's heart as well as my own. I am her daughter. From birth I lived in her c...

... Fyi, I wasn't aware I were belittling any exiting person's problems anywhere, merely ranting about poorly written fictional characters and annoyed at how the reader becomes hammered over the head by Edward's angelic übermenchness in every other paragraph. I'm afraid I cannot change my opinion o...

Welcome, Ellos! The bad puns go on!

"The Missing Piece" by Shel Silverstein. For a child, charming fun. For an adult, a rather pointed piece on the search for a significant other.

*points out that the birth certificate has been repeatedly shown*

I did read the books. They're perfectly decent books, regardless of people's opinions about the characters. There is a great deal of deus ex machina going on, which tends to annoy me. Just as a minor point, Edward doesn't drive Bella to anything. Her breakdown is in response to his leaving, not in r...

I stumbled upon this article "If Famous Writers Had Written Twilight" and it is just hilarious, so needs must be shared.

Oh, now I wish there were pictures of these shirts here!

I hope time will permit me to add something.

Maybe I missed a specific reason She should lose herself to madness and cruelty over it, but why would she just not have some ice cream, watch a few movies and then go sleep with someone else? 8O Silly, silly. They don't have movies in this world. Nor, presumably, ice cream! Unlike LF, SWMNBN was i...

I think the Unfettered healer in Morinmoss is the woman Llaura was searching for in LFB.

My thought in reading this was that the Viles created a prison for Lord Foul. Muahah and where else would Jeremiah, the creator of doors and traps, be kept?

Hullo, I've come to weigh in, having recently reread the chapter and enjoyed your commentary. I had to look through to see if my thoughts would be redundant. They probably are in dissections of later chapters but, now, I'm in this one. An emphasis was placed on Time, and the dangers of disrupting hi...

Thinking about it, was there any truly evil female character in the books so far? 'She' for example doesn't count. She's a victim that's not at fault supposedly. So is Donaldson chauvinistic in his evil characters composition? I'm theorizing that she's Diassomer Mininderain. That may seem like too ...

Manethrall Lithe. Manethrall Rue.

*wavewave* A few years ago I dropped pounds. Lost abour 20. I was lucky, no physical problems to make it difficult. Hoo, boy, do I need to improve my shape, though!

It's always personal! Hahahahah LA all the way for me.

Darkdenubis, you made me laugh. No, no! He has to bring back the Unfettered who died saving the Wraiths of Andelain! If we're going to ship, ship big!

A life where, albeit subconsciously, part of what made her powerful was an underlying hatred of er... the fact that her mother was a mad-woman obsessed with the man who sired her. The fact that her grandmother grew older and bitter, obsessed with the man who had sired her. The fact that her grandfat...
