Off-topic but congratulations on reaching your 100 followers (apologies if this is a little late!)
ReplyDeleteWhere's you get the stats? Page-count comparisons are interesting food for thought.
ReplyDeleteOh, and off-topic... Did you see Squaring Cows over at Tao of D&D? Dude, the segment about Joe's game with Chris, Dave, and John that Richard always keeps ruining is exactly how I feel about things, and why I've all but given up gaming until I go back home.
Daddy G.--thanks!
ReplyDeleteDave--Opened up the books on my shelf for quite a few of them. Others I looked up on Wikipedia and/or Amazon.com.
I got rid of the WoT and SoT books before I left Japan, and had donated by Prydain Chronicles to a friend in Japan as well, so I had to look those up.
Good move with The Wheel of Time and The Sword of Truth. I really don't regret dumping my copies before I came here, either. As for The Chronicles of Prydain... eh, you can always buy new copies when Flynn gets old enough to read them.
ReplyDeleteSome people who write fantasy seem to reason that Lord of the Rings is long, and has a map at the front, so if they make their book long and have a map at the front it'll be the new Lord of the Rings.
