It's not surprising that the chapter on Lena dominates discussions. What happens to her remains the most controversial and debated aspect of the entire Chronicles.

The low number of responses doesn't necessarily mean that few folks have checked them out, but there remain some chapters worthy of a bit more discussion. (I would like to especially praise Variol Farseer's eloquent dissection of Into the Wightwarrens, and hope that more people drop by to read it.)

What's surprising to me is that TPTP would have the lowest number of responses. I figured WGW would be at the bottom of the list.

I just did these stats for fun. They're just numbers, of course, and can't say anything about the quality of the posts of all who participated in the dissections.

I figured LFB would be #1 but I'm dissapointed TIW isn't #2, my friend Autumn is almost done with it and we've been discussing it. It's an incredibly well written book and really sets the massive tone of the Land and exactly what's at stake. It truly is a masterpiece (and it's given me a couple of wicked dreams, too).
fall far and well Pilots!
For me, TIW is probably the most emotionally devastating Covenant book. So much tragedy there, but also so much mystery and magic! And as you say, danlo, it does set a massive tone. TIW is arguably the most "cinematic" of all the books. Reading through the TIW dissections just sucked me right back into the story.

White Gold Wielder was dissected during the release of Runes of the Earth, which may help explain why it had such a low turn-out.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

I hope to jump into the Dissection forums soon.
Everytime I go there I start reading and think "wait wait, I have something to add!" but then I seem to recall that maybe it was talked about in the Runes forum already so I go back to check then work calls me away..bla bla bla...
Still it's going to be a long time before the next book comes out so I guess I don't need to hurry.

About 4 days of poring through the chapter reads and adding up the numbers, Furls. Just one of those things where I sat down and decided, hey, this could be fun to do...Furls Fire wrote:Wow...how long did that take you do?? That's really cool!!
HLT, it's always good to have more voices in this forum. Jump in at will!

So, who dissected the most chapters?
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Also, TPTP and WGW could have suffer from burnout and lagging interest. (I really think WGW did.) Note that the progression is 1,1,2,2,3,3.variol son wrote:White Gold Wielder was dissected during the release of Runes of the Earth, which may help explain why it had such a low turn-out.

Thanks for pointing out that progression! I completely missed that. I wonder if this pattern will be repeated when we dissect the Last Chronicles.Wayfriend wrote:Also, TPTP and WGW could have suffer from burnout and lagging interest. (I really think WGW did.)

LOL! Wait a minute, I'm still on Lord Foul's Bane!Hey, let's all go disect Leper and Sarangrave Flat right now!!!!
Er, um, yeah...I did read the last two chapter summaries, but had nothing much in the ol' mental tank to contribute, and they deserved better than an obligatory "thanks."duchess of malfi wrote:I think burn out might have been a piece of the puzzle, definately. Same thing happened right towards the end of A Man Rides Through.
danlo -- 12 chapter reads (a number of reads, esp. from the 1st Chrons, combined 2 chapters, so it was double duty)dANdeLION wrote:So, who dissected the most chapters?

Well, Fist, if we take out the fair number of danlo's posts in Dissection that consist of him encouraging and cajoling people to do their chapter assignments on time (lest he bring out the whip and chains ) then I suspect you would more or less tie him in posts actually relevant to in-chapter discussion.
So is that the new Mad Max movie? And more importantly, is Mel Gibson involved?Holy cow, MM, you're a madman!!! Madman Matrixman!!! *whew*

I actually raised an eyebrow that I ended up with 80 something on the most amount of postings... yeah I'm still around folks... reverted to a lurker type status but still around on the watch. I have only read Runes and haven't been able to find a copy of the next book of the series... I will eventually.
But as was pointed out it was a dissection burnout for me. Plus... life gets in the way of simple pleasures such as hanging out at the watch!
Holla to you all
