Hello!  Jason from Oshawa, Ontario.  I've been reading the series since after TTT, and before TJE came out.  I judged TDTCB ENTIRELY by it's cover (and secondly the blurb on the back) and decided to give it a go (FYI, it was the Penguin Canada paperback edition, gray cover with vertical script).

Anyway, my wife thinks I'm insane the amount I blabber about the series.  I've hunted down hardcover editions of the original trilogy in the rare event I meet Bakker and I can get one (or all) signed.  It's completely taken over aspects of my life.  I have no imagination of my own anymore outside of Earwa.

Now that the second series has ended, life is nothing but waiting for the Series That Shall Not Be Named.  Well, that and my kids, I guess.  *shrugs*   

I'm sorry if there is already a thread on this (didn't see one), and I hope I [SPOILERED] everything properly.  Long time reader, first time poster...
