Wow, appreciate your sharing that, SoulQuest!

Definitely the books are extremely evocative when it comes to agitating depression-related feelings.

They are almost like a path, through some very deep and dark corridors, but coupled with disassociation in that they are a work of fiction.

For me, they offered a whole new place from which to view real things.

Welcome to the board, and thanks for one of the very most amusing signatures I have ever had the good fortune to read! Procrastinate later ... :) indeed!

Hail and well met Soulquest! :) I too read the Chronicles back when they first came out. And have re-read them more times then I can count during the years. They touch me in so many ways, through so many different times in my life. It has always amazed me how Donaldson can make us love and hate Covenant at the same time. He truly is a genius.

Be welcome and true! This is a great board! :) :) :)
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

Welcome SoulQuest. I appreciate what you've shared with us. Each of the COTC has interesting perspectives. I re read these terrific books when I'm suffering from writer's block. Great inspiration.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! :) I wish I had known about this list a long time ago. It just never occured to me to look for one. Right now as a single mother of 3 living with another single mother, who happens to be bipolar, the rereading of TC is making huge impact on an entirely different level. I have this self-sacrifice thing happening. I call it the "Frodo complex." lol I am always out to save the world without thinking about what I need. Anyway, thank you for the welcome and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

BTW... a couple years ago I did a search for Donaldson and found his email. I sent him an email and he answered me back! We corrosponded a few times. That was just after my husband abandoned me during my last trimester with our 3rd child. Just the fact that he wrote back to me made a difference during that rough transition in my life.

Try this....

It does not look right to me, but I am not on my home computer right now. I am at school. When I get home I will look in my old saved emails for the address I sent to.

Just in case you happen to be on good terms with this .....husband..... of yours now, I'll refrain from shouting all the colorful invectives that come immediately to mind. :evil: |G

There's actually an album on this site (see options above) for posting pics if there were any you wanted to share with the whole group (might not have been what you meant).

But you should have a decko (look) anyway, lots of good photos there, a set for photos of the crowd and another couple of sets for artwork/likenesses/covers etc re The Land.

Cool SoulQuest! (You've got them on the general pics page instead of the 'Motley Crew' one but what the hey :D)

I'm up there too but you have to look under "Motley Crew" (there's a drop down box at the top of the photos).

Hey Neighbor! 8) That's really cool! Amazing to find another TC fan so close! Actually I live in Hurst, but nobody's ever heard of Hurst, so I just say Ft. Worth. :lol: ;)

DFW (Dallas/Ft. Worth), for anyone who's not familiar, is a huge metropolitan conglomerate that just sort of all bleeds together, made up of innumerable suburbs, covering a roughly 75 mile radius from approximately right where I live. :cry: :-x As stated above, that's Hurst. The H in HEB (E - Euless, B - Bedford.) Also known as the Midcities, 'cause the three relatively small sister cities are smack in between D and FW. A lot of people tend to just claim whichever of the big two they're closest to. ie: I'm from Ft. Worth. Arlington is actually just over the line from Euless, with a little bit of Ft.W morphing amoeba-like in between.


So we be relatively close neighbors at that! 8) :lol:


All that just to say that it takes us a good two hour drive if we want to see some open sky, and another two if we want to actually see some stars. :cry:


Some day I'm moving to Australia. Or maybe New Zealand. I've always had ambitions of being a sheep farmer. :?

Dagnabit... my son is screaming at me "MAAAMMMMAAAAAA!!!!" and pointing for me to see Zooboomafoo with him. lol He is 2.

How old are your kids? Mine are 8, 5 and 3. My roommate's kids are 5 and 6. I go to school in Hurst at ATI. We should get together sometime! It will be great to have someone to tolk to that knows about TC. Yeesh... I am surrounded by... muggles. lol I find another word for it. Uncultured barbarians? lol
