Welcome, Severian. :)

...I get most of my books through used books stores. If I get a 'new' book' I usually go through a local independent dealer.

That is exactly how I operate. Most of my WoT books were bought used as I played catch-up with the series, but I deliberately spent more money than I had to (or perhaps should have) to get my Memory of Light hardcover from a smaller local store that I like.

Welcome to Tar Valon, Severian- I'm surprised that Stephen King hasn't killed you off in some book or another that he's written. (Honestly, I'm terrified to ever go to Maine for fear of giant clown-faced spiders and Light only knows what else lurking in the sewers! :brown-blink:)

But welcome and congratulations on surviving! :p

I LOVE Stephen King. :pleased-1: I have most of his books; they're amazing books. What are some of your favorites?

Howdy, Severian! Is your name from somewhere? My husband used to use that name online and it's kinda funny to see it again. :giggle

Hi Megana. I've seen the name in a book by Gene Wolfe, though I think he spells it with A's instead of E's, but I also know someone who has that name in real life.

As are half the avatars used here. I wonder who the artist is and if he/she cares...there's a list somewhere on the site. :pleased-1:

Hey! Another Mainer!! *wonders briefly if I know you*

I'm not from Bangor, nor do I currently live there. I'm from Caribou and currently live in York County. Welcome to the boards! :joy

Oh, also, if you have any questions, feel free to message me :D

Woot for Maine!! I've been to Caribou a few times. My father was born there. I am, however, not originally from Maine. I'm what is generally called a 'flatlander' :P So chances are slim that'd you know how I was. ;)

Welcome, Severian! I'm from the Great... ummm... White Sandy Beaches of Cape Cod? Near enough that I'll probably be passing near your town in a few weeks on my way up to Bar Harbor. :)

So, who's your favorite Randland character so far?
