Just wanted to say hi - don't think I ever introduced myself here or the older SA fora. Some of you might know me as "Incariol" on the ASOIAF board where I've posted occasionally over the years.
I'm Swedish and live in Sweden. English is a second language for me, so I apologize in advance for any weird language constructs, grammar spelling, etc.
Happened upon Bakker after reading about him on the Martin board, which I found after having read AGOT, which, in turn, I found after looking after similar books to the first few Wheel of Time volumes, and so on, back via Donaldson, Tolkien, Dune and others, to the Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea sequence, which is what really got me interested in Fantasy in the first place.
Many thanks to all you who run this board, reading Bakker gets even better with all the speculation, interpretation and general discussion here.
