Wow, an Erikson topic buried in TC. Should we bring it in here? Pretty weird...bet if he knew we had a whole forum now, he'd be back. :D

Yeah, I laughed at that, too. :D No reason it shouldn't be in here, eh?

Oh hell, it's not a thread...just posts in other threads. They're gonna have to stay where they are.

Don't you hate it when you read an ongoing series and end up with it all in different formats?

CG on paper at all yet. i still just have it on my kindle! (NoK is not in
there because i lost my first edition copy of it...ali was kind enough to
send it to me in pocketbook format)

Hey, I have that exact incense holder. The one on the left. :lol:

And while it does bother a little me not to have them all in the same format, I can live with it.

Mine are all funky sizes too -- most paperback, of various sizes, and two in hardcover. It bothers me a little, but not enough to shell out for large-sized paperback versions of the ones I have in mass-market size. :lol: If I buy more versions of this series, they'll probably be e-reader versions. *Much* easier to handle on the bus...

:lol: True enough. The Sony Reader has a bookmark feature, and in the newer ones you can take notes too. But it's not the same as a post-it....

Ok, so, for want of something to read, I started NoK last night. :lol: Think I'll order StoneWielder now, should have it by the time I get done with RotCG. (Where does it fit in? StoneWielder I mean...)

Skimming House of Chains? Craziness.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
