Hey, I got the 1st four letters right. Just less than a quarter of the whole word. And since I _only_ used 4 letters, doesn't that technically mean I got the whole thing right?matrixman wrote: It's not that difficult, my fellow conscripts. Just practice, practice.

Yup, that was me. I was hazarding a guess based on many, many years of being subjected to hearing anime characters shouting in Japanese in my basement.

Hi, guys.
I'm brand new here. I am 40-years old and SRD's Thomas Convenant books have some special meaning for me. I remember I picked up the first trilogy at a local bookstore in Williamson, West Virginia when I was, oh, I'm guessing around 15 or so. I guess that would have been around 1984. I'd finished Fred Saberhagen's Swords books not long before this, so it was quite a change for me. I remember thinking SRD must have swallowed a thesaurus.
My mom picked up one of the books and read out loud "the unbeliever" and looked strangely at me. I had to explain the concept. I am sure her thought was that it was a sacrilegious book! That doesn't fly well in rural West Virginia!
So I read the first six books and fell in love with it. I went to college and sometime around 1989, I read them again, along with the original Dragonlance novels. Mom died in 1990. Years late, in the '90s, I read them again at least once or twice, about the time I read Watchmen and fell in love with Return of the Dark Knight.
So I picked them up about 3 years ago and reread the first 6 books, along with my newly acquired Fatal Revenant. It's still a fantastic read (although few scenes compare to Mhoram's stand outside the Keep and some of that original story, like Nom. I also have the 2nd book in this last trilogy (wait, it's not a trilogy... a quadrilogy?), but haven't yet picked it up to read. I sometimes have long gaps between books because I am always reading something else.
Although I Am Legend was nothing more than an action movie, and completely bastardized from the original story, I would still take the chance with a TC movie, if given the choice. I had high hopes when I read on here a few years ago there could be a movie. What's the worst thing that could happen, really? The movie stinks and I forget it ever happened!
The Thomas Covenant books, especially the original trilogy, and I Am Legend will always my most treasured books. I fell in love with them as a young boy, and they have been part of my life ever since.
I just hope I live long enough to read the entire story!
Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded and dramatic.
Good to meet you folks!

Hail and well met, bek! 
Most of us here are life long fans of TC. Myself, I first read them when they came out in '77, I was 14 at the time. I have re-read them way too many times to count, and pretty much have them burned into my memory. So, you are among friends here.

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

I remember a similar situation in which my mother picked up my copy of LFB and asked "What are you doing reading a book about an unbeliever?"My mom picked up one of the books and read out loud "the unbeliever" and looked strangely at me. I had to explain the concept. I am sure her thought was that it was a sacrilegious book!
