Yeap, they still talk about the day Granny Weatherwax made a pleasure-trip at Barad-dûr... :D

@Mel: PTerry is a clever writer for a clever woman in a clever nation :p

I would love Detritus offering a straight look, holding Piecemaker against Mouth Of Sauron, saying something like "What der you mean, we can't see der master???"

I'd trust more teaching every orc to say the word "monkey" in flawless english :D

Alfred (did you get the number of that donkey cart?)

PS: Another Watch fan, mh? :rolleyes:
 
i simply refuse to believe that tolkien is beaten by another fantasy writer. in a wider existential sense, tolkien is beaten by both irvine welsh and john steinbeck, but it's exactly because those two do not write fantasy. d'uh.

I am not sure its possible not to daydream in those dull and grey moments which most students endure. Practically every day I stare out into the distance, running over the faces of pedestrians on the streets through which the bus passes on the way to uni. without a blink. I find the city that I live in to be bland and greyscale, the feeling of entrapment I think is inevitable. In the moments of sheer detachment on these journeys I tend to half listen to melodic compositions, being metal or classical with a touch of sadness. I let myself recall segments of plots of books whether fiction of not in my interpenetration or dreaming of leaving this country to seek new experiences, anything but live in here and now. I look forward to holidays where one can let time slip and wake up not knowing what time or day it is and simply not caring about it. That is my world.

The last post is quite meaningful. Thank you, Valerie. "Anything but live in here and now", just what I feel. You're too newbie to know it, but I often expressed my will of change this world, and the strong belief on that, a feasible way to go through. That was the expression of my wishes, the sound of my inner battle I can't keep inside.

Right now, and thanx to my lack of success changing my own life (for the moment), I'm feeling actually bad, with quite impressive mood changes, and without solid proofs about any possibility of change to better times.

Yeah, I know deeply all these optimistic stuff about believe in my possibilities and skills, etc, so don't repeat yourself if you're thinking sth similar. I still believe on that, but when you were hungry over the years, it's hard to keep believing there's food somewhere.

This is NOT new in my life, and I see this is NOT unusual. Several doubts are playing black unholy metal in my mind (noisy!), and dunno the right way to define my life. ¿How to live in a world that does its best to enforce you to live under certain rules? ¿How can I keep looking for food when I feel my stomach so empty? ¿How to change that world when it seems to don't wanna change itself?

well |ng what to say I haven't said, what to say you haven't heard??? we don't find the right pills for the ageless ills but well some days the tide sweeps the melancholy away and some others brings it back with full strengh....so is life, you and me know it....and as we both know, food normally is not where you look for, but where you never expected it to be....

@|ngenious: i think fathervic in his impersonation of commander vimes is quite right. no matter how you look at it, no matter how you keep yourself afloat, waves of longing/regret/frustration are bound to come and go relentlessly if you're one of those ppl (and you are) that doesn't settle that easily for something short of ideal and feels the constraints of most arbitrary codes. this doesn't mean you just have to wait for the times the tide ebbs away, but somehow i'm afraid you should accept them as a boost to go on, try harder and all this stuff. :s :)

@hyena: both robert jordan and terry pratchett seriously damage tolkien's plumpy dwarf-trodden ass, i'm afraid.

I wanted to be Detritus :p
btw: Tolkien wrote the best book ever, and his had the most brilliant imagination, apart from that, I think Pratchett is a better writer in the full sense of the word...don't know who's R.Jordan though...

robert jordan is an american contemporary writer. he's responsible for the ongoing "wheel of time" series, soon to feature 10 long books and still far from its ending. this massive opus revolves around the usual fantasy themes, although the setting is not "medieval" but more akin to the seventeenth century in europe (albeit with a few difference and the usual full range of magic). the books are not humorous, although there's often irony involved and more than a few funny scenes, but they tend to focus on the feelings and personality of the tons of character involved in the plot.
i've read many a fantasy saga and i think that this is the most vast and brilliant series i've encountered so far, full of new ideas and good style.
