My Latin text actually has u's instead of v's. In capitals, you have V instead of U (APULEIUS --> APVLEIVS), but in lower-case, it's the other way around. But nobody actually does that. Do you know what this does to my vocabulary? I spend five minutes looking up "ciuitate" in three different dictionaries, rapidly approaching a panic, only to ( Read more... )

THAT'S the secret Ko Sai is hiding!! She's got c'naatat, and she fled to keep it from falling into the wrong (or right) hands. And Kal'buir will get it and give it to his boys (but not to himself, because for some reason I can't see him wanting that) and they will become SUPER-clones. With Jedi powers and bioluminescence and claws. Sexy claws.

Wow. they put the good crack in the water tonight.

Haha, thanks. I think there really is crack in the water around here. But that's so a baby lobstrosity. It's all cute and fuzzy and EVIL. You can tell. XD

I agree with a lot of what you said. I think these are some of his best characters in a long, long time, but one of his worst plots ever. I kept expecting something big and mind-boggling to happen, and it just kind of didn't. The end sucked.

It really, really did. The characters deserved so much better. *sigh*

Sounds like I'm missing something, eh? :/ I still haven't really begun reading King, because I'm afraid it'll grow too confusing with all the Star Wars too (although I could just buy the Dark Tower, for a start. *shrug*)

It shouldn't be confusing, really, and if it does get confusing, that's how crossovers are born. ;)

If you don't want to commit yourself to a seven-book arc right off, I'd maybe go for 'Salem's Lot for starters. That was the one I started with, and it scared the bejeezus out of me. Of course, so did The Stand, but that's about 1100 pages long. XD
