"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[Farseer]

Long time reader, first time poster.

Ah, a changing time for you then, Peet75? I love it when that happens!

So it is a very big statement for me to say that any book set in the Realm of the Elderlings are my favourite books, and that Robin Hobb is the best author of all time.

I'm with you!

I, like so many, many others, am in love with the Fool, Lord Golden, Beloved, Amber. IN LOVE. I am in love with a fictional character, and I am oh, so proud of it.

Here is as safe a place as any to admit that and, yes, I am hereby one of those Fitz-lovers who Valarya speaks of. As Fitz and Beloved 'are one', well, he/she and Nighteyes are included in that love. I'd have to say that Fool would have to be my favourite character of all time...I love a good riddle and our WP sure is that!

I have introduced him/her to my family and friends with pride.

My father is seventy-two and a straight-laced country man if ever there was one, and I have got him nearing the end of Tawny Man and sharing in my obsession at last. He was like the final frontier for me...if I can sway him, I can sway the world. MWAHAHAHA!

Good on you for being unashamed and sharing the love!!

I have this odd little scene jumping into my mind...

Peet75: Mum, Dad, everyone, I'm in love with someone and it's finally time you got to meet them.

Everyone sits expectantly, waiting for the special man/woman to come out from another room...

Peet75: I'd like to introduce you to Fool/Amber/Lord Golden/ Beloved...

Peet75's Family and Friends:

I have reread the original 9 books about 9 times now, and every single time I finish Fool's Fate, I need to google to see what people have said about the series since my last reread, and inevitably, google always points me to this forum. I decided it was time to join!

G'day, g'day and great to have you with us, Peet75!!

It's always good to have the perspective of someone who's had time to read over lots of posts and mull over things (I think I get RotE dumber by the day and knew more about the books 'then' than I do 'now' because now I'm just in a real tangle!), so I'm sure you'll have lots of pearls of wisdom to share!

Whereabouts are you in our world?
