Kevin's Watch

Hello Believers:

This is my seventh reading of Thomas Covenant.

I just started The Wounded Land again. The most tortured of them all.

My pace has been every two or three years.

The LOTR movie triggered this one. After I read LOTR for the fourth time.

Hail and welcome Strider .. fellow 'believer'

be welcomed in this place .. welcome and true!!

Welcome Strider! You couldn't have picked better reading materials. The Lords of Kevin's Watch look 4ward 2 stimulating contributions. For we sense you are not closed 2 us!

Welcome to the Watch, Strider

speaking of rereading, I am into LFB for the sixth or seventh time now:-) It is amazing, how much it grips me, even though I know every word of it now... When I read the battle scene at Soaring Woodhelven, I had a desire to slap Covenant in the face for his behaviour.

Hey there, Strider. Heh, TWL sure is a great read if you're looking for a depressing good time.-jay

The more the merrier...although it's not like I schlepp on down more than once a month I try, I try! Put in a post for me!

Welcome, I have been here for awhile, just in a different guise--Well met Strider(he said impassively, his mein showing no emotion)

intriguing .. Brinn of the Haruchai .. so in what guise were you in before??

<wishes there was a raised eyebrow emoticon here>

I was BannorsIllegitimateSon, I ddint post much, but visited a lot. I have a new found fervor for the chronicles this summer after reading them for the 4th time. I am SO happy to have found this site, because I do not know anyone who has read these books.

BannorsIllegitimateSon?!! Before or after the Vow? (O Earthpower,
make me chaste, but not yet?--with apologies to St. Augustine!)

Seriously, I've always thought Haruchai wives got a seriously
raw deal...in the First and Second Chronicles...and poor Mrs. Cail
could hardly compete with the entire sisterhood of merewives.

I can't decide whether there ever would have been a Lysistrata-
type story in the Westron Mountains (like the Greek play
where the women went on a sex strike until the men stopped
having wars), or whether it would have
resulted in the extinction of the nation--Haruchai men and women
being orders of magnitude more stubborn than ancient Greeks.

Nice revival of an eight month old topic, my friend Please continue

I'm not a newbie to cyberspace in general, but I'm not yet acculturated to the Watch (my accent is as thick as any other Haruchai newly arrived in the Land...)

Is reviving an old topic 'not done'? What is the usual
statute of limitations on this board?

Durris, please bump all of the old topics that you find interesting. There have been some truly excellent conversations here and they do get buried by the newer posts. Happy digging!

Bump away good Durris, bump away. You could always start a new topic about Haruchai women.

Thanks! My main problem right now is the temptation to watch the Watch when I need to be doing my freelance editing work...

Tsk tsk. Hey, who am I to talk. I should be spending time with sex offenders and mental health patients.

addictive ol' Watch, isn't it?

I'd like to point out that this is 20 months old, not 8.
