    Looking for a Book

    Need some help looking for a book... Years ago (I'm thinking around the late 70s, early 80s), I was reading a book. It was basically a short story anthology dealing with close encounters with aliens/ UFOs. I'm thinking that it was basically cashing in on the craze inspired by Close Encounters...

    Searching for a book

    Thanks for the attempt, but that's not it either. On the cover, the two were back to back with weapons drawn as though preparing to face attackers.

    Charles de Lint

    Oh, I disagree! I love his books! I have nearly everything he has ever written and love to go back and reread them. They are so full of magic and the joy of life! Whenever I get a new CDL book, the rest of my "to read" pile is forgotten and pushed off to the side as CDL takes priority over...

    Charles de Lint

    I am a huge fan of urban fantasy in general, and of the novels of Canadian author Charles de Lint in particular. I would love to see a dedicated sub-forum for him at Chronicles! I guess the question I want to ask is: Are YOU a CDL fan as well? Would you like to discuss various aspects of his...

    Falling Skies - Season One

    This is another one of those shows (along with Camelot and Game of Thrones) That I REALLY wanted to see, but have now missed so many episodes that I might as well wait for the boxed set to come out...

    Any Xanth fans here?

    I enjoyed the first few books as well, but after that I got a bad case of terminal pun burnout.

    High-level school paper: comparison of Tolkien's Gandalf with Rowling's Dumbledore

    Re: High-level school paper: comparison of Tolkien's Gandalf with Rowling's Dumbledor Perhaps a comparison between Merlin and Gandalf would be more appropriate? Or Merlin and Dumbledore depending upon one's view of just who Merlin was?

    There is a book I really liked a few years ago, but the name and author escape me.

    Re: There is a book I really liked a few years ago, but the name and author escape me Once again, going out on a limb... could it be P. C. Hodgell's God Stalk and Dark of the Moon?

    Great Film Moments!

    Re: Favorite Movie Scenes Well, thanks Starbeast, but after watching this, it was not the scene I wanted. :( I LOVE the scenes where first, the Na'vi try to save Grace, and second, the end scene where they try to move Jake's spirit from his own body into the avatar's body. The chanting, the...

    3 Dots

    I use the 3 dots in conversations when there is so much more that I would like to say but I feel like I need to stop rather than bore the reader to tears...

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Saw 2012 again, for like the 100th time. LOVE the special effects, but think the premise - world destruction in 2012 - is groundless and completely stupid.

    Favourite city/castle/town/region in the books

    Town/City: Charles de Lint's Newford: Newford is a fictional North American city, the setting in many of Charles de Lint's works of urban fantasy. De Lint generally avoids writing about cities that he has not been to; however, his hometown of Ottawa did not afford him the necessary freedoms...
