..Okay..SRD as an author; he has shewn to me the inadequacies of my Merriam Webtser Collegate Dictionary..it doesn't suffice, one of few authors , current or past,,who can ellict from me a wave of foreboding apon release of new work, or discovery of work not read yet..as in The Runes of The Earth,,I stood at the book store just stareing at it for ..well..i don't know how long. I bought it. Then at home it sat on the table for a few hours while I invented reasons not to begin reading it. When I finally sat down before it,,again,,i contemplated my mental and physical state. I mean,,he really sends one thru the ringer. I mean, I know I am going to have to read his work at least 3 times. The first time is spent looking up in the dictionary, at least a few words on every page. I actually counted something like 19 first pages of Rune before i had to open up the Webster. I was amazed! The second time is to get the flow of the plot without the constant interruptions and the third,,is to get the Total Package,,plot , theme, the wonderful use of the English language and all its tricks and trades so well mastered by the Rhiter of the Wurd. Then I like to think about what he is saying and seek websites for enlightenment and sharing. Not to many authors have that kind spell on me....MEL
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

general srd discussion
This is truely the kind of forum I wanted when I sought out SRD on the web. Yes, it is with some trepidation that I approach a new SRD reading - especially a "Covenant" tale; but it is also with excitement and an almost spiritual "high." I've grown so much as a writer, a reader, as a person with SRD. He challenges the reader on so many levels not the least of which is philosophical. I really enjoy the fact that SRD's characters are flawed yet still potent, powerful and real! However, you are right - a good dictionary is a required tool for SRD reading.
I have experienced a profoundly personal connection to the characters of Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery and found their struggles with the paradox of power and necessity of evil to be a great resource for personal growth and self-examination.

I must say....this is one of the worst puns I have come across in about....oh, 18 years! 
But as for...SRD's writing....uh, what's to say. It rocks. It's awesome. I have a new fave author...
I think I may have to read more of his books....

"Branches spread and tree trunks grow
Through rain and heat and snow and cold:
Though wide world's winds untimely blow,
And earthquakes rock and cliff unseal,
My leaves grow green and seedlings bloom
Since days before the Earth was old
And Time began its walk to doom,
The Forests world's bare rock anneal,
Forbidding dusty waste and death
I am the Land's Creator's hold:
I inhale all expiring breath,
And breath out life to bind and heal.
But ax and fire leave me dead.
I know the hate of hands grown bold.
Depart to save your heart-sap's red:
My hate knows neither rest nor weal."
