Title: Well hi there!
Post by: Biko on November 28, 2013, 02:37:14 am: As other people seem to admit as well, I'm a long time lurker. I bought TDTCB a long while back, and I am such a weirdo it took me a few years to actually complete the book. I would read the book almost to the finish, but I wouldn't want it to end so I would start again at the beginning. Finally I was so enthralled with this book that I had the courage to learn the end. I ventured on to the other books in this series and did the same thing with each of the other books though not as many times. I am now quite sad that the next book hasn't been written. I read nothing else. I recently bought an audible account and I bought and listened to all the books in audio form as well now. I have moved on to Steven Erikson for the time being so I have something to occupy my need for fantasy, but nothing compares to Bakker's series.

So, hi all. It's nice to know that there are other people out there as crazy for these books as I am

Xoxo,
Linds

8 years since I stumbled onto TDTCB.
I read the damn things in a couple days. Bakkers books are amongst the very few books I have ever read more than once. (Twice now, but I hunt down specific passages for discussions' sake so often I think it counts as a lot more now).

Anyhoo, welcome!

I'd love to see that census data. Lol I'm always, always blown away by the stellar quality of posts by those lurkers who decide to break their silence.

This counts. Probably more than rereading, realistically.

Sometimes I like to reread sarcastically rather than realistically ;)

Lol. We can't just have people reading sarcastically, all willy-nilly like, with chicanery and such ;).

btw had to look up chicanery (the use of trickery to achieve a political, financial, or legal purpose.). Good word.
