Not a new McKillip, or anything like that, but for those of you who are all caught up, here's a recommendation of a book that reads very very much like...

Like Evan, I also liked Od Magic, but it wasn't my favorite. There was an unfinished quality about it, which is not always bad, but wasn't what I wanted in...
I loved Od Magic. I read it often and I am moved by the wonderful randomness of the book. I love the concept that real wild magic is in hiding. David David K....
Fictionwise has been having a 60% rebate sale this weekend, so I bought myself a copy of Od Magic and will add it to my TBR list. Thanks everyone for your...
How many here liked Fool's Run? It is a short book, but has conflicts and intricacy worthy of the best. I prefer the fantasy work as a rule, but oh, man,...
aharlib@... I loved it as much as I love all her books. I've always wished McKillip would write more SF. Peace, Amy (mostly lurking) Subject:...

I first read Riddlemaster, and read Fool's Run shortly after, but I will always LOVE Fool's Run. (ok, I'll always love Riddlemaster more, but that's not the...
I laughed so hard at Lysistrata. The sexual jokes are so broad, and the abuse of the men! Pat will wait! ccc ________________________________ From: Veronica...
It's so long since I read Fool's Run that I remember very little about it. I think I found it strange but fascinating, which is often the case with McKillip....
I've just started my fifth reading of _The Riddle-Master of Hed_ and have once again stumbled over the riddle in the first chapter. This has left me baffled...
The only riddle you cannot answer is the one you don't ask. He didn't open the door and was left (like so many of us) to wonder what could have... for the rest...
... Well, this addresses a different aspect of the passage from I was getting at. This speaks to why Morgon chooses to quote this particular riddle to his...
Opening the door doesn't guarantee you an answer, the riddle is "what happens when you refuse to open the door?" Here the stricture is not that life always has...
Yikes! Major spoilers in this thread for those who haven't read Riddlemaster. (I have -- and love this discussion!) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ...
... I thought you said it did: "The only riddle you cannot answer is the one you don't ask." Now you're saying there are some you can't answer even if you do...
Coming in late to this because I've been up to my eyes. I think the discussion has long gone past Larry's original question and now is centered on the meaning...
... Spoilers are bits of the story anyone who has not read the story would not want to know. I'll accept the idea of spoilers on a fairly new book, but it...
Thanks, Is it part or the etiquette of this group that we are to avoid spoilers? It makes sense to me. Larry, I enjoyed the breadth of your letter, the moral...

... I think it still makes sense, because there are always new readers coming along. Look back over the recent messages about _Fool's Run_ and you'll see...
Thanks to Robin Netherton for returning to my original question about the Kern riddle, and for providing an alternate interpretation. Robin's idea (that "Kern...
In some other groups I'm in the convention is to be very careful of spoilers until a book has been out for several months and everyone has had a chance to get...
With our recent discussion of Od Magic, I thought I'm mention that it just came up in the New Books listing on Audible.com. Kerry -- rocalisa.blogspot.com ...

I LOVE it!!! Haha, I don't have a CD player in the car I share, so audio cassette is actually pretty awesome. (how sad is that?) To: McKillip@yahoogroups.com ...
Does anyone know whether The Bell at Sealey Head was inspired by DeBussy's The Engulfed Cathedral (La Cathédrale Engloutie) ? I wonder also if there are any...
