Greetings!
Hello all! Its so good to find others who have journeyed to The Land and found it beautiful and captivating. I just finished the First Chronicles for the second time. Its been almost 20 years since I first read the TC books and they are everything I had remembered them to be. Very rarely does a book make me feel so strongly that I cry real tears while I'm reading it.
Good to find this place and all of you!

Hey everyone,
This is Russ, Tracie's other half (Furls Fire). I thought I would go ahead and do the registration thing since I'll probably be doing some regular posting now that Tracie has started Chemo and other therapies.
I've not read the books you all discuss here, I'm not much of a novel reader, though I have read some classic authors like Dickens, Shakespeare, Hemmingway, etc. Not that I understood much of it, but I have read them (they were pretty much forced on me in college). I'm more of a tech nerd, as my wife has probably told everyone.
I just want to say that Tracie loves you all very much. She looks on every one here as family. Your love and support mean the world to her.
Anyway, hello there!
Russ

Hey, Russ, good to have you here, though I wish it were under better circumstances. Hope everything's going ok. Anyway, make yourself at home, and if there's anything you need...

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Russ! I wish it was for a different reason, but it's good to have you registered!
My local mall had a "Kiss the Hog" (or is it Hogg?) contest a couple years ago. Whoever kept their lips pressed against the Harley the longest won the $30K+ one. Occasional brief food and bathroom breaks. The winner went 40-something hours. Those interviewed talked about hallucinations setting in at various points.

Hello, Russ. Good to meet you, though I, too, wish it were under better circumstances. You and Furlsy are truly an inspiration. Welcome!

Greetings all. Thought I should say hello. Ive been lurking for a while, but apparently not long enough. I blurted out some ideas in another thread (time paradoxes) and recently found this (which I sincerely hope does not merit the spoiler tag):
Anyway, cheers. I live in the East Bay (Walnut Creek), ride my new as of yesterday titanium (ooooh) litespeed 15 miles each way and work for big oil in San Ramon.
I have a lovely Russian wife and two kids, 3.5 and 0.4. My wife talks to the kids only in Russian, so they will be bilingual. Other random stuff: I was a comercial fisherman for a couple years on the east coast, doing month long trips 300 miles offshore in the area where they filmed "perfect storm". I lived in houston for about five years and moved here two years ago to get 1/3 the house for 3 times the cost. Also we went from two incomes to one income. So I use the library more than buy books and hence have to wait for what I want, which is an acquired taste I have not yet acquired.
As a youth, my cousin gave me five boxes of paperback fantasy and sci fi when I was about ten. And I read all of those and then started my own collection. It was great to have someone with good taste supply my first sevral hundred books.
I guess "krest toothpaste" was a dud.
I realize now that I should have been hit with the following:esmerlover wrote:... I'd imagine that Covenant isn't Berek reborn, but actually is Berek himself and does Berek's actions in Chronicles 3 ...
Given the amount of material here, everything has probably already been thought of. Incidentally, how does one search and get the exact post with the items searched for, instead of the thread that contains the post? Even the page the exact post occurred on would be a big leg up.I LIKE your theory! Which I why I posted it six months ago ...

Welcome Spork. Good idea about the kids, at that age, they absorb language like a sponge.
To answer your question, somewhere on the search page is an option to return results as topics, or as posts. Select to have them returned as posts, and select the option to display the first 200 characters of the posts.
Then, once you have results, you just click the link in the top right(ish) corner of each displayed post and it'll take you straight to the post itself.
Have fun

Hail Spork. Be welcome here at Kevins Watch.
You'd be amazed at how much hasn't been thought of yet. Besides, we all love to get a new perspective on old discussions.
