What a depressing thread. . . :(

Let's review the facts. I read LFB when I was around 12. The year was 1985. If the last one is published in 2013, I will have been reading these books for 28 years, and will be 40 years old. 8O

38 or 39, depending on the time of year as I was born in July.
Lyr, we are almost contemporaries. :D
Words like 'finance' bore me,
Interest in the world of cash ignores me...

Aww. . . you're very sweet. Too bad we couldn't have had a party. I tell you. . I drink so infrequently that it doesn't take much for me. So if you give me a couple of drinks, I might just be the life of the party. :biggrin: :lol:

Happy (late) birthday, Lyr!

I'll be 55 in 2013 -- old enough for early retirement. (As if.)

55. Can't believe it will have been 35 years since I picked up LFB...

So you're about due for another read-through, right? ;) I'm reading it after a seven year break, and it's as good as I remember.

I have a birthday next week and will turn 50, so that makes me, uh, let me get the abacus out, uh, 58 in 2014?? My ex-sister-in-law, God bless her forever, loved SF and fant, and had read LFB and let me borrow it. I was insanely addicted immediately. This was the late 70's. We kept reading what came after, and waited for the most excruciating time for WGW to come out. I found out by accident a few months ago about Runes of the Earth. I joined a new library that opened in my town and did an onsite online search of SRD. You know how quiet libraries are, right? When I saw the book, and that it was a TC continuance, I had to clamp my hand over my mouth. I checked it out (ROTE), got in my car and closed the door, and hollered like an idiot. Yes, I have a serious problem. Do they have a Betty Ford clinic for SRD addiction?????? I have a year to stay clean before I shoot up again with Fatal Revenant...........
Heard my ears aright? Did not the gaddhi grant me this glaive?

Welcome to the Watch, Rocksister! Yeah, news of the Last Chronicles was pretty wild, eh? I'll never forget when I first read about it here. Good ol' danlo's report of SRD's reading from the Runes prologue blew me away.

In our world's years, I'll be 58. In the Land, I'll have to wait over two millennia. :(
