i have, on occasion, posted in the covenant sub-forums but generally, unless ive had a burning question, feel more combfortable as a lurker.
i discovered the magic of books fairly late on compared to most here, im sure, but have since 'made up' for that by reading copious ammounts in recent times. the thing that i look for in a great book is that simple awe in finding yourself immersed in a foreign world that makes you forget the mundane(
) existance i spend most of my life in. i want that world to seem real. i want to see the colours of the sky and the texture of the grass. to hear a new song or taste new foods. but i feel and understand that there is a line that can be dangerous to cross. to cross it can mean the most simple of pleasures in these worlds can be lost forever to us. the threat of turning a new land into something as mudane as ours is a real one. by over-analysing the world of TC this line is crossed imo. ofcourse there is a balance and i wouldnt judge others in a quest for greater knowledge on something they undoubtedly love.
that is why i end with a question....do you see 'the line' aswell?
do you think in some discussions here it has been crossed?
do you think that this quest sometimes strays from a desire for greater comprehension to strict dogma? rules of the world that cannot be broken?
should we not just accept some things on faith alone?
there are examples of these threads i can give if people want them but i would rather this isnt seen as an 'attack' on the authors of those threads. afterall i dont claim to be right. im just interested in how others feel.
