Re: Books: Chapter One!

Oh, goodness, have I read anything lately that would have anything to do with this conversation...
You people reading LMA--just reread AOFG. Interesting, how much the youth of back then (the good old days?) is like present-day young-people. So much of the satire in the book is applicable to nowadays, though through comparison mostly. EC I would agree is better than RiB (I always preferred reading about LMA's characters as children, to the more tragic stories of them grown-up). RiB had some overt supporting of Transcendentalism in it that was uncalled for.
Fauny, I have finally got to read Shadow of the Bear (and The Midnight Dancers--spent most of it being frustrated with the characters). Most enjoyable. Black as Night is on the way from the library, and I'm excited. Unfortunately, they don't have Waking Rose. Such meanness.
Alyosha and all the rest of you Attolia people out there, I finished The King of Attolia. And I liked it better than the previous two (of which I had a heretical low opinion), which need to be reread and reexamined. Now please try to show me the error of my ways and convert me to liking these books...
