:lol:

Or the less THOOLAH-approved but equally relevant:

"Hellfire & Bloody Damnation"

It's repeated throughout the Chronicles many times, so it's still as much of a quote as SHALL Pass Utterly (still can't bring myself to say "should". bleegh)

:roll:

re: alternate title for book 3

Post by thranathiril »

Just make it something that involves a human figure and a gnarly tree, so that the cover can be just like book 2!

'Forestals and Formication'
'The One Forest Strikes Back!!'
'Robes of Argence 'R' Us'

Shall Pass Utterly
Shall Pass Utterly
Shall Pass Utterly

But, alas, the end of FR says the next book will be AATE. So we are stuck with it. Why did he do that? Was it advised to him? I need to check the GI. Has anyone read it and seen an answer to that?

SRD was asked to change the title by the publisher and the editor. The thought was that "Shall Pass Utterly" was an ambiguous title and wouldn't help the book sell. "Against All Things Ending" was a title that both SRD and Putnam's could live with.

Personally, I think the people at Putnam's are morons.

Did anyone else notice that the phrase "Shall/should pass utterly" was actually used in Fatal Revenant? Can't recall when and where, but I know I read it in threre somewhere! I may also have seen "all things ending" in there as well.

I saw that. I think it was Caerroil Wildwood who said it. SRD had probably written that in before being forced to change the title of Cov. 9.

I still say "Shall Pass Utterly" would've been an awesome title!

How about Tales of Topographic Oceans..............

..................this topic is sounding a lot like lyrics for a Yes album.....should it go into vespers?

Perhaps we should invite Jon Anderson onto the Watch.
"Winston, if you were my husband I'd give you poison" ................ "Madam, if you were my wife I would drink it!"

"Terrorism is war by the poor, and war is terrorism by the rich"

"A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well."

"The opposite of pro-life isn't pro-death. Y'know?"

"What if the Hokey Cokey really is what its all about?"
