Hi, Im new.  I used to post here a few years ago.  But life got busy and i stopped.  I have always loved the books and got the first one in the 90's when i was 16 and have re-read them over and over.  I have the audio book A Memory of light that i listen to in the background when i do other things.  

 

Love talking about the books and the characters, so i plan on being around more

Welcome!!! We're you not able to find your other account?

[thegakrules]

I didnt even try, i dont even think i have that email anymore.  So just starting brand new!! Almost like my Rebirth by the wheel!

[Elgee]

Oooh Ontario! Welcome :)

 

Is it cold there yet?

[thegakrules]

No not yet... but i am sure its coming!! i will have to get my polar bear ready so i can get to work in the snow! lol

[Elgee]

LoL I'm presuming not the real live type of polar bear?

[thegakrules]

Of course, in Canada we live in igloos and ride Polar bears in the winter!!! 

[Elgee]

Don't joke - my Warder had me convinced that you guys get your post delivered by dog-sled in winter.

[Guest]

Welcome to DM !

 

and what ? the canadian post doesn't use dog-sleds in winter ? O.O

[thegakrules]

Of course we use dog sleds in the winter, how else do you get around?  Its why Canadians are so good at hockey.  Once winter comes we wear skates everywhere!  I have a Polar bear i ride around, though my son prefers just to ride on his lead dog a wolf to get to school in the winter!  He says since the fur is a bit thicker it is warmer for him.  

[Elgee]

I knew it!

 

We could race - you on your polar bears, us on our elephants.

[thegakrules]

DEAL!!! 

See Elgee your from Africa so i can understand some confusion about Canada.  But people in the USA who believe that stuff when they can take a few hours and drive up here!! that is just sad!!!!!!!

[Elgee]

Well I guess people from Phoenix could get confused ... lol

 

And I was 18 when I saw snow the first time. That was when I went to Europe after school. I loved it!

[thegakrules]

Wow, i was born in november when we normally start getting snow in canada!  I loved it as a kid.  But as an adult i hate driving in it.  Though it is great for building snowmen and playing with my son.  And the best part no one ever expects a snowball inside!

[Elgee]

I hear shovelling it gets old quickly too ... lol

[thegakrules]

Oh shoveling gets really old quick! lol, though this year i am going to try to get in to better shape so i am going to try to look at shoveling as exercise and see if that works!

[Elgee]

LMAO! Good luck with that :)

[thegakrules]

Thanks i will need it!! As im sure my 11 year old son will be more than happy to remind me that i am just old!

[Elgee]

He'll get there one day too, and then you can laugh at him. And laugh and laugh! :P

Hello I’m new here and a little bit new to the book just finish reading book 10 and I’m a bit frustrated and thinking of quitting this series, I think that the girls (elayne egwene and naynieve) Being captured is a bit over used and by the end of the book 10 when egwane got captured I faced palm my face so hard thinking how stupid can those girls be, how can an amerlin risk going in front without a backup plan, how many times do they need to get captured to learn that doing things on their own is a bad idea. Don’t get me wrong I like the book I wouldn’t be able to read up to book 10 if I didn’t when the story is following Rand, Mat and Perrin it’s all well and good but half of the time the story follows  elayne egwene and naynieve and most of the time they’re in a cringe worthy situation or doing cringe worthy things, makes me want to skip their part.

He will and i will be even older then... and then i will get out of breath laughing at him and probably fall on the ice and break my hip! lol

I have found that even the chapters that seem to follow characters that dont seem to be important come up again a few books later to show their importance.  So even those chapters where the girls get captured those events can become important later on
