Pity serves no purpose except for belittling the insignificant.

Are you humans not pleased that you are not belittled through pity?


Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

Ha! O.k., you pittyless folk - I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your pity Wink. I have it too Yay!

I forgot - Did you already have it, Thul? If not, you have my sencere sympathy, Not my pity though Big Grin

It it as beautiful as I remember it Wub. And I'm still wondering why it's the UK edition. Nevertheless, it now valorizes my bookshell and I will try to wait with reading until the fourth book is also published. So, no spoilers, no hypertension, no worries about all my favorites until next year. Instead of that I will go on with my re-reads of LST, Tawny Man, and ASOIAF. And in spring 2013 I will re-read DK, DH and carry on with CoD and last but not least BoD. We'll see, if I can keep up with that.

These beings would like their city back.

Robin has mentioned via the Newsgroup that she spoke to her agent about the early releases here in Australia and the UK and apparently it was done to avoid losing sales to the US edition.

Yup, with things like TBD etc, these losses were always going to happen...glad to see that common sense prevailed AND I'm glad that I waited. I much prefer the UK version on my shelf.

Some people are realizing the effects of a global community rather than a national/regional community as it was 20 years ago or so.

It was a two-part joke first line unrelated to the second.

'thul are dragons. You have the city of dragons. These beings want their city back.
