Hail All! I'm back after getting Windows XP installed and just read about SRD going to be in Albequerque (did I spell that right?). I wish I could go, but alas! I remember when I was 14 or so, I wrote him a letter via his publisher. To my suprise, I got a hand-signed response from the man himself. I was ecstatic! I remember asking him to do a story about the Land's beginning (Silmarillion style) and he said that he wasn't interested in writing a "prequel" to the story. I remember that it was the first time I ever heard the word "prequel" and I though it was cool! I hope he changes his mind though. Have fun out there guys, and welcome to all you new ones.

Stone and Sea...! I guess I'm a little behind!

A day late and a dollar short, again. I've been away for a while and did a quick review, but it was obviously too quick (lol). Never mind....

Hi, everybody!

Post by Believer »

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been lurking on and off for a while now, since the LFB discussion was on chapter 6 I think...

Y'all seem like nice and thoughtful people, which is only to be expected of people who really like the Land, I think. :)

As for myself, I've been into SF for a long time, though lately I've been trying to read more of the 'classics', and finding them to be really good. So I haven't picked up a real SF book for a long time; probably will dig into GRRM at some point, though I'm still on a classics kick at the moment.

My favorite authors are: SRD, Iain Banks, FM Dostoevsky, John Piper, and Jonathan Edwards.

Welcome, Believer. Glad to have you aboard. :)


I like also like Banks. I recently read Look to Windward.

Haha.... y'all are a trip.

I'm watching Gargoyles right now, on Toon Disney. Has anyone else caught this magnificent cartoon?

Thanks for all the welcomes. I chose the name just to be contrary to the Unbeliever motif... :) I used to feel a lot like Covenant, now less so. But sometimes when I feel lonely it comes back. :)

Hmm... Let's see. Otherwise, I have not yet read Look to Windward. I have it on my bookshelf though. I think the last book of his I read was The Bridge... Or was it Whit.... I think it was Whit. Odd book, but a good read.
