That the mind emerges from and is dependent upon the brain is not the issue. No, the question is: When we speak of minds, can someone who would reduce consciousness to biology offer an adequate pictur ...

To be honest, I think it might make more sense if High Lord Kevin were considered as being the Creator. In this way Kevin and Covenant are more easily identifiable as one and the same person. Covenant ...

I passed by a lady a few days ago wearing a shirt with a heart very beautifully imposed over a skull. A fun way of thinking about that "young/liberals think with their heart and old/conservatives ...

Only an idiot does something because the POTUS appears to suggest it. The people who die from drinking and/or injecting some sort of disinfectant deserve to go pick up their Darwin Award in person in ...

If you think illegal immigration is bad, try having me as your kid. I probably cook worse, clean worse, act worse and think worse than most illegal immigrants. I'm not sure why my parents put up with ...

Hmmm, IIRC, Sorweel got killed by the ancient non-man which then provoked him back to sanity in order to overthrow the influence of the Consult on the non-men...

But didn't Sorweel make it out ...

I have a huge post. I hope it garners some further discussion, as I just finished up the book today.

1: So I'm pretty sure I'm serving Golgotterath. I've been working at an emergency service for do ...

I'm nowhere near done with the book yet, but some thoughts on me brought on by Kelmomas (sp?)

You know, Kelmomas was probably among my least favorite characters in the series. But strangely, once h ...

I ordered an unholy consult from Amazon, hopefully this book we will have the proper diagnosis for kellhus.

I have an idea as to why Proyas was raped by Kellhus, and an idea as to the essence of the no-god.

Proyas was raped because Kellhus - maybe - is trying to humiliate humanity or one of its leaders i ...

The Unholy Consult...for the second time.

No way! How did you get an ARC?

Plus, how is it?

I have a friend from TSA who bought it and then sold it to me after he read it. We did the same thi ...

Actually I read your description and it sounds great barring time commitment.

I have only read this work once. It's probably my favorite work of Arthurian fiction for the way it adds gentle and weird humor while also maintaining a grasp of the importance of life. I remember it ...

This thread was a great idea...
..and it's so well-suited to my nature, because I accidentally anti-recommend things that I really like!

Here's one about "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisov ...

I didn't like it anywhere near as much as an Erikson book Smile

But I think the story is fitting because it's about kellanved and dancer when they were just folks. I was thinking recently about how th ...

Almost certainly correct - IMO.

I believe there's actually some point in the books where the gods laugh at Dessembrae the ascendant force, and compare him/it to Dassem and point out how much better ...

A weathervane jams in place because the wind blows hard.

EDIT-FYI, not why I chose the avatar.

In fact, the only reason Foul moved to Mount Thunder is because Fire Lions were (for his purposes) the best he could do in place of his standard lava on short notice (millenia are short notice for F ...

I think most TCTC readers think highly of Mhoram, though he probably ain't everyone's favorite character.

I think I have a decent way of looking at the "Lord Mhoram's Victory" thing as &q ...

I can't understand people who think SRD would make up the term "Fire-Lion" for just regular old lava flows. Like the people of the Land were clueless bumpkins who had never seen molten rock ...
