Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

*rotates*

I'm tired of Sunday roasts.  I've been having them for 22 years now, once a week every week.  Although we had brussel sprouts last week - I luuuve brussel sprouts.

Just adding into the general wash: I finished reading 'Le Morte D'Arthur' last week.  Anyone else read it?

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

**murmers** Ahhhmmm... Just a question. Should my priority be to finish off the Otherland series, or to meet a deadline for work?

Spoiled?  There are seven of us in my house, and we each cook one night a week, for everyone.  So there.

Re: Quiller's Mint - The Laundry

-->Shads: it's an excellent read, except for the tale of Sir Tristram.  That was boring, although it had my favourite character (Sir Palomides) in it.  And the last story was a heartbreaker.

-->Libbette: it's Malory, the most famous work in the King Arthur tradition.  How many do you cook for?  Bet it's less than seven.

-->Nab: Time to start rotating.

*is subscribed*

I just cook for me and my sister -- I'd make her do her share too, but am a bit of a control freak in the kitchen ("you don't cut zucchinis like that, are you stupid?")

Ah yes, I had the original The List (tm)

Whenever anyone suggested a book, I'd put it down there.  Being on a message board, I had to add a new book every week...

Hmph.  Only two?  Cooking for seven adults is an incredible experience.  Like sky-diving, but with vegetables.
