New, given up lurking

Post by reuben59 »

Like the majority of you I am sure, I have been waiting patiently for 'The Last Dark' so when I am suffering withdrawal I usually come in here to see if anything is being discussed.
Glad I have finally joined the community.
I first read TC in around 1983 and that was it for me - just hooked. I have to admit that I found the first two books of the last chronicles difficult when they came out - the loss of Thomas Covenant I think. I've reread the books - all of them a couple of times and each time am carried away to the land.
Now all of the books have a place in my heart.
The land in my heart and soul

Hi reuben59!

A post-lurking Welcome to the Watch!

The official welcoming party will be along shortly to greet you and offer you their assorted wares :lol:

I'm not sure that 'waiting patiently' accurately or aptly describes the state of many in relation to the perceived tortuously long-awaited arrival of The Last Dark. :biggrin:

Hello Reuben59! :wave:

Welcome to the Watch, reuben59!

Your story is a familiar one. It does not seem so long ago that I broke cover as a long-time lurker here, but it has been...oh, wow, guess I need to visit the Anniversary thread!

Anyway, may you thrive here and contribute!

Actually, reuben59, if you agree to bow to me and serve me well, I can get you a kresh or a few... or a croyel.
I have many names... and may play many roles

You seem to possess a special power reuben59, even though you have posted at least three times your post count is only 1 :lol:

Welcome Rueben59

Ya know, I've always thought this Forum was The Summonising, even called it that as recently as last night. Now, I finally notice there is only one "i" :oops:

Remember, everytime you drag someone through the mud, you're down in the mud with them

Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?
