    Monthly Book Discussions

    a series in 2 months. No way. Currently a series takes about 10-20 years to write. (eg Jorden!!). I do not see a problem with having one book in a series up for discussion. The thread can be like an old friend that visits once in a blue moon, as each subsequent book is written and then read...

    Raistlin; Pure Evil?

    Read these books years ago in my youth, and from memory I would say he was more neutral than evil. However definitely on the evil side on neutral. Raist was always out for number one, he would forsake others to increase his power but he would not, e.g. kill a member of his group through...

    Frank Herbert: Dune

    Dune can appear cold and calculating, however I tink you are ignoring the honor and passion that the Fremen have, also you have to appreciate that when most of the universe is against you as it was for Paul, you have to become a hard B'stard to survive. As for pushing science to the limits...
