... there is a disturbing lack of activity. :) And since there's a specific request (an old request. But it's still specific) for new people to post and
"--Give us a review of Wizard's Holiday (behind a cut, please, for the sake of those who haven't read it yet).
--Tell us which is your favorite of the YW books, or of Duane's books generally.
--Tell us who's your favorite character.
--Are Tom and Carl a gay couple or not? discuss.
--Discuss themes in the books (there are plenty of them, the Powers know).
--Tell us how you discovered the series or Duane's work."
I'll just do some of that, then.

My favourite YW book... probably A Wizard Alone, though because Holiday is new I'll be reading that a lot for a bit. AFter that, Deep Wizardry. I really enjoyed the two Middle Kingdoms books I read, too. 'cause Herewiss is sweet and Segnbora is cool. *nods* I also really liked the similarities between the two worlds, and the links- the similarities were mostly thematic, but the links more. For example, Herewiss Hearnssen who wrote the manual. Or the way the dragon's speech is, well, at least closely related to the Speech itself: it mentioned stiho, if I recall correctly, as being the verb for "to be." *grins* I like these little insights.

My favourite characters to read about are Tom and Carl. But my favourite character in her own right is Nita: not just because she's the hero, but because I love the way she is. I also like Carmela, because of the shopping. <3!

Tom and Carl... hmmm. Well, my inclination is to say yes, and isn't that sweet! ;) However, I sometimes feel uncomfortable speculating because DD's mentioned them both several times as actual living people, so... it kinda feels like RPS, which I stay away from. However: yes! Because that's just sweet.

So, I consider myself properly introduced... :)
