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.

I have read them all. I thought, after the original set (where did that end), they got rather silly.

Happy reading, Kuno. What a ride you have ahead of you.

Hope you have lots of disposible time. Dresden books suck you in and don't let you out until the last page is turned.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?

I've set aside Platinum Pohl in favor of Deepwood by Jennifer Roberson which arrived today. I've already polished off the first two chapters.

I'm about done with The Time Traveler's Wife.

SPOILERISH:

They cannot have children (well, they can conceive them, but not bring them to term), because the babies try to time travel out of the womb (it's a genetic disorder).

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?

the Liveship Traders do owe me at least 10 hours of sleep already. Not to mention that they're keeping me from rereading HP. Not good at all.

Re: What Are You Reading Now, Hmmmmm?

I am still reading Darkness Descending, trying to get it done soon as possible so I have time to spare before Harry Potter comes out, because I want to tackle Blood Follows and The Healthy Dead novellas by Steven Erikson. Need some dark reading.

It's the second book in a trilogy. Not sure what I think of the book yet. I rather like most of Jennifer's stuff.
