^^ :wtf:

^ Oh, that explains it. :mrgreen:

And yes, there is one scene that's quite ... graphic. Yet it doesn't seem so graphic, because (black text:) Kahlan thinks it's Drefan. It kind of takes the fun out of it... :P

:nod: :mrgreen:

It feels good to have someone reading the books who's not as far along as me. Now I can smile and nod as they experience what I did. :)

I found a Winamp (v2) skin for SoT. It's the statues from the cover of Faith of the Fallen, and it's got some cool graphics, like a 3D sword at the top.

Oh, and I'm almost done Temple of the Winds. :mrgreen:

Don't blame the chair. It's being the best chair it can be.

I just started SotF. I'm growing tired of the re-caps at the begining of each book. He does a good job of slipping the summary into the story, but it's still a little annoying.

However, I'll be glad for it when the next book comes out, as I'll most likely be done all of the current ones (WFR, SoT, BotF, TotW, SotF, FotF, PoC and DoB).

haven't read DoB yet, I'm still trying to get over my annoyance at the delay in a continuation of the series that only resulted in PoC instead of a proper continuation, dammit! :P

And Lora... YAY!!!!

great books.


Damn, you're quick. I'd better get reading so you don't catch up to me.


Spoilish: I can really relate to Fitch, what with his job (scrubbing stuff in a kitchen). Although I'm kind of annoyed that I haven't heard from Richard and Kahlan or Zedd and Ann for a while...

I'm begining to think I may not like PoC. I might though. I hope I like it.

I haven't updated in a while...

Well, I waited, and you're right. I'll make this next one vague, so as not to give anything away... I hope she skins him alive. :evil:

Black text:

And Zedd had better not be dead! Fuck, that would ruin the series for me. Richard had damned well better save him.

And Kahlan's got one in the oven! (no, not "The ovens"...) Bah!

Anyways, Richard and Kahlan have just left the ovens (didn't go in) and have decided to not go from town to town, and will be planning on spending more time reading. I have a feeling that the Raven is going to bring them a little present... (mountain's twin)
