Oh, just freakin' great! Right when I don't have my stupid books, this happens. Oh well, I haven't really proved any good when in these discussions, backing out of the last two.
Hah, there aren't any bookstores in this town. You have to go to Agusta to get to any good stores anyway. You no need bother, I just read, no type. (Crud, I'm talking like Jumba now.) Anyway, I've got most of that book memorized, so I can type something later.
If you're in Augusta, there's a used bookstore on Bobby Jones (520), right off of I-20 over by Wal-Mart. They always have copies of The Chrons.

Yeah, I know. Just saying if you went to Augusta...

Call my FORUM a thread will ya! Yes as Furls said we are now on chapter 4, "You are Mine!" and kastenessen is doing an incredible job of transporting us back to the Land--join the discussions everyone!
Actually, I think ch. 7 is due up tomorrow. Check out the Dissecting the Land Forum. And feel free to post on any of the other chapters, both for this chrons and the first - There is no such thing as done dissecting.
"If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do."
I think they're up to chapter nine now.
And definately join in whenever you wish -- and don't be shy about adding comments to any chapters that have already been dissected (the first chrons, Gilden Fire, and The Wounded Land up to the current chapter).
WOUNDED LAND EMERGENCY! I've lost the "Read-Lead" for the chapters that should have been done last Wednesday. I'm, tentatively reading chapter 10, Vale of Crystal, right now and if noone volunteers by Monday I will attempt to post that lead. I REALLY do, however, need an EMERGENCY "Read-Lead" for chapter 11, The Corruption of Beauty!!! Please PM me or respond here if you can help. Thank you.
