joost - That's a real help, joost, thank you so much! The Pern books have been on my 'to-read' pile for such a long time now but you and Manephelien have definitely motivated me to finally get started on them. I didn't actually have 'Legends I' but I found a copy on eBay and purchased it since your mention of 'The Hedge Knight'.
Albertosaurus Rex - Yes, while most of us tend to/seem to stay essentially the same, it's still amazing how much we manage to transform our beliefs or broaden our viewpoints over the course of our lives (I know I've had an interesting journey in that regard!). I have never had any reason to formally study it but I do enjoy delving into the philosphy 'realm' for my own interest (I am sure the local librarian thinks I'm a little loopy though..it's generally not the sort of thing people around here do for kicks
).
What an amazingly talented group of people we have here on thePlenty...sure makes me feel like an Abomination amongst Elderlings at times!! Still, it is wonderful to come on here and be inspired - thankyou!
