Raises more questions in my mind than it answers, though.

Wow, makes me regret there was just no way I could shoehorn a run over to Ft. Lah-ti-dah (Lauderdale to most folks) for the conference. Thanks for the spy job, it certainly takes a bit of the sting out of the wait for more. I was hoping you'd post!
May I recommend Mi Casa in that area for Mexican food? It's on the right a little bit past the gigantic sports/outdoors store...which is itself worth a visit just for its sheer size.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

I'm with you, Mouseglove. I think I may have read Runes even faster the first time, because I wanted to get to know the shape of the story. The second time around, I read more slowly and reflectively, catching all the nuances I missed, making better sense of it all. I don't consider this any loss, for there is hardly such a thing as a novel I read just once. Either I throw the book against the wall before I finish, and never go back, or I re-read and savour the author's spell.Mouseglove wrote:Wow I wish I had your patience. I was done with it under 48 hours, mostly because I let every other part of my life that didn't require me to physically be in my office or a classroom slip away unnoticed.
I have, however, re-read it again, and will do so about every three months until the next book comes out, just so I'm ready.

Wow... that's not really a twist I expected. It's gonna be hard waiting for the rest! Thanks for posting that, mouseglove!

ROFLMAO!!!!! This had be laughing my head off Jay!
hahahaha! but to the post Mouseclove wrote... wow... just... WOW! That is amazing! That's it though, I've had enough, I'm going to go and kidnap SRD, I'm sick of waiting. Anyone who wants to help me will also hear the rest of the Third Chronicles early.
One question that very much comes to mind about this info
Spoiler
I can see why Convenant would be harmed by the Staff of Law, or even by a touch (remember, Covenant was told not to touch his Dead in Andelain too), but what's up with Jeremiah? Is the kid also dead? If so, Linden is going to go off the deep end!
Spoiler
It's also odd that they'd be dismissed by the SoL, given SRD's previous comments that the Laws of Life and Death are still broken because the Staff hadn't been used in a way appropriate to restore them. I guess it still has the two Laws innate to its structure, though, even though they haven't been restored apart from its presence. or something like that.
