So, I'm kinda new but also kinda... not.  But it's been long enough that I thought I'd say "hi" properly.

I'm Eggwhite, and have been since the early-to-mid 90s, which was about when I joined the ye-olde listserv.  When I interact with people in meatspace I usually go by "Adrian" unless I happen to be at an SF con, in which case the handle can occasionally carry over to real life too.  It's been a fair while since I read any of Tad's work for a whole bunch of reasons, but that's something I plan to fix in the not to distant future with an epic re-read of MST, and hopefully another go at Shadowmarch not long after.

That plan lead to me thinking "maybe I should go look at smarch again" (even though it's hiding behind a different name now - sneaky smarch).  So here I am

To explain the "kinda... not" side of things, a few ye-olde, heavily cobwebbed Lyst types may remember me from way, way, way, waaaay back.  Every few years I poke my head back in and say hi, but life is hectic and I have a long established habit of unintentionally falling off bandwagons.  I fully expect that I'll fall off this one again, but this place is back in my "regulars" bookmarks, and hopefully the reread will kick me back to posting again. 

When I get to it, that is - I've got some Charlie Stross and some GRRM! (I can't help but think of him as "Grrrr!" with an M on the end - hence the exclamation mark) to get through first.  But when I start reading MST again, I may well start posting here more too.

Later, folks!

I'm one of the creeping decrepit who remembers you, Eggwhite. Welcome back.

Hi I am SecretSquirrel. Greetings. I decided this site was better than Martin's, so came over here to talk and hang out.

Holy, crap!  There are too many people with "s"'s on this page!

Welcome aboard, brutal_atlas.  Pleased to meet you :)

Thanks guys!

Hello, everyone. I'm new here -- just registered -- but I've been lurking for a month or two now. I recently finished Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn for the first time and was completely blown away by it -- now one of my favorite series ever. I hope to be reading more of Tad's work soon -- I'll probably start with his new book when it comes out, since I don't have the time right now to get into another huge series -- and joining in on some discussions.

You can call me Phillip or Phil if calling me by two different colors is too odd. I'll see you all around.

Take care. :)

Welcome aboard Blue&Green! We're quite used to what might be conceived as weird names. Although be warned, it might get abbreviated by some (cause we're a lazy bunch).

Many thanks for the warm welcomes :) I'll see you all around.

I do not think I have been on here since shadowmarch was an online book only. So i'm here to introduce myself

The name's Shawchert or Shaw for short. I am a mother of a little boy. I enjoyed all of Tad Williams' books ever since I was in grade school. I started with Dragonbone Chair thinking it would have tons of dragons but i didn't but once I started reading it I felt connected with Simon and just kept reading and couldn't stop!!!! Currently I am reading Shadowmarch on Audio, one of the lucky one of tad's that got to be in audio and I hope for more, especially the war of the flowers and well... all of his books but it's wishful thinking. Lol. Anyway hope to try and stick around this time :)

New to the forum, but not new to Tad Williams. I've read most of his books and love them all. :)

Hi all.

I was reading my way through our public library and came upon Tailchaser's Song. Read it, loved it, wanted more so I then read War Of The Flowers, loved that too! Decided I had a new favorite author!

Found the Otherland series and read it from beginning to end which took quite a long time even if I am a fast reader. Loved those books too. Had to take a year off from reading to recoup. Then Shadowmarch started and I wasn't out of my self-imposed book-fast so I haven't read those. Yet.

Saw Tad's FB post about The Dirty Street's of Heaven last Thursday so I headed down to the bookstore and grabbed it, I think I have a 1st edition but don't know for sure, never bothered to check before so I don't know what I'm really looking for. For me it's the story that has the value, not necessarly the book itself. I do like the hide on this new book, it sticks to my jeans and don't slide off. The story was great, can't wait for the next one.

I live in North Carolina and am a Grandmother of two shiny new toddlers and my job is to take the very best care of them, while their parents are out making a living. I'm feel like a very lucky person indeed.

Sorry I don't use a clever pseudonym, I just don't feel the need, but if I did use one it would be Chinquapin. I'm quiet, love to read, listen to music, shop at antique and thrift stores and surf the internet. Oh and I'm a worrier. My latest worry was that since authors have to spend so much time writing for their reader's consumption, do they get enough time to read for themselves.

Welcome aboard Cara and Regina!

There really is no need for nicknames if you don't want one. Mine isn't all that clever either, I nicked it from the Junglebook. And it's the nickname I used as a cubscout leader, so I'm quite used to people calling me either Sahi or Linda (my given name).
