Welcome to the Watch FireMare...I'm guessing you know another Watcher?

Firemare is my buddy from a very cool discussion forum called SoulPancake.

Welcome new citizens

Welcome!

Be Welcome to the Watch, firemare.
Be Well Come and True.

Anyone Cambo can vouch for should be quite interesting.
I look forward to your posts.

Well, that's one way of putting it...

Do go on, Av. Another way would be....what?

Wow, the list is almost endless. Amusing, worth talking to, completely insane...

Pick your favourite.

Ooh, I like the insane moniker! Can I keep it, Av? Pleeeeeeease??

Well, I'm sure you realise it was my original implication...go for it.

I am not much of a forum poster but I like this site quite a bit.

Like the title of this message says, I have been a fan of SRD for a long time but have never actually met anyone who has read him!

I have just read Against All Things Ending on my Kindle and await the final installment of the series with mixed emotions. I want to read what Mr. Donaldson has yet to create in The Land, but I will surely be melancholy when this entire series comes to an end.

The Kindle has a built in dictionary function which is more useful to SRD readers than almost any other I am sure.

Anyway, hello to all and I will be trolling through the forums in the near future.

Does the Kindle dictionary have "roynish"? That's my litmus test.

Welcome to TM5000 and all the other noobs who I haven't welcomed.

Be Welcome to the Watch, TM5000.
Be Well Come and True.

Are you really in South Korea?
One of our Watchers is there for at least a year.
Perhaps you can one day meet another reader of SRD.

Welcome Tm5000!

hi TM5000

The Kindle comes with the Oxford Dictionary of English and The New Oxford American Dictionary and neither contain the word roynish. (it is even underlined now with the suggested replacement of brownish)

Yes, I am in South Korea for about 6 more weeks.

Thanks for the welcomes!

Welcome to the Watch TM5000.

Nice to know the Kindle fails at something, given that I have a Sony Reader.

Hello all, I introduced myself in photos through the photo tread, but mind as well do so in here as well. I think I may have done so once before under a different name [that i can't remember].

I'm a journalist and writer in northern Michigan. My "beats" are two farm communities and a waterfront community with more than 30 islands and a relatively large boat show to its credit.

I came to Covenant when my prison guard uncle, who reads voraciously, accidentally sold some books he had borrowed [x-mas presents from my mom]. He took me to the used book store and had me pick out a handful of books. The original Covenant trilogy was among these. I thought it would be cool to have a story spread across multiple books. I was in seventh grade at the time and it may have been my first linear series (Boxcar Children don't count).

I started reading the first one during two hours of Saturday detention and the teacher dismissed us before I knew the full time had passed. It was engrossing...even though I had to figure the meaning of a great deal of the vocabulary by the context of the sentences.

I read them again in college and understood a little more. And again after a while in the "real world" and understood even more. I wonder what I'll take away from them as an old man? (which is still 3 or 4 decades off).

I haven't read any other Donaldson other than the Gap Cycle, which was absolutely amazing. I hope I'm not missing out on any other of Donaldson's masterworks.

Also, my uncle has since been forgiven.
