Just going on to Chapter 5 of AATE.
Got some cool SRD bargains today: Hardback Runes for €2. I have a large paperback already but couldn't resist that kind of a bargain. It's so cool it may induce me into a reread!
I also got a Fontana paperback copy of Gildenfire for €3. I already have it in a recently acquired copy of Daughter of Regals but it's such a nice little book, I had to have it (and it has cover art I've never seen before).

My DoR doesn't have Gildenfire for some reason, but I have it in the little stand-alone volume. Maybe the same one...cover with the circle inset on it? (Those are my favourite covers...I have the first chrons, and 1 & 2 of the second with those covers.)

Those covers are the best- I have the omnibus of 1 and 2 with that artwork, as well as Gildenfire

That's the one. Those are my favourites too, especially the one for TIW.

A wise choice.

Thanks to the Watch's Fist and Faith, I have the same small volume.
(autographed by both the Watch's Fist and Faith and SRD)

Really? That's what you got him to autograph? How honored you must feel to have his right there with mine!

ayeup.
My
AATE is also signed.
...but I was really more interested in having his autograph on the same page as yours.
Truly, I think that small volume is my favorite writing of SRD's. And
your dissection of it touched me in ways I can not describe. For me, those two autograph's belong together in that book.

Well, that's one of the nicer posts about me ever!
Thank you!

that IS very sweet Menolly! what a treasure!!
i've gone off the fantasy/sci-fi for a while. i discovered Lee Childs' Jack Reacher series and am totally engrossed. i believe there are about 16 volumes (really quick reads) and i am on number 4 right now, averaging about 3/4's of one a day!!
it's just like the time i read all the john d macdonald travis magee books in a two week period! felt like i spent two
weeks in longboat key (and not even a tan to show for it! lol!!)
after i finish jack reacher i have mary karr's
Lit to read, then i will re-read
A Dance with Dragons!

Quite honestly, if I had to choose, I'd have to seriously toss up who I'd rather meet and have sign my copy of Gilden Fire.
And you know, I think Fist would win out.

I've been fortunate enough to have met both.
...once at the same time, even.
Fist, I know Cambo is doing what he can to make the next official elohimfest in Albuquerque. I hope you will plan on attending as well.

The Gunslinger. Been over a year since my last DT reread.

From my limited experience (the first 4 books of Dark Tower) I don't understand the appeal of Stephen King.

I didn't make it through Gunslinger. But other King stuff I've read is amazing. In particular, Deadzone, The Stand, and Firestarter.

Murrin and Fist, I had problems with The Gunslinger as well. But I read Av's suggested reading of the cycle with other King books interspersed between those officially part of the cycle, and it made it much more interesting. I especially enjoyed the tie in of Salem's Lot right before Wolves of the Calla (if I am remembering the order correctly).
