Hi folks, It has been almost a month and I haven't seen any new message. First thing, I believe we have a new member, so welcome! If you can send a little...
... I would as well. I currently have 2 Tarot decks: the Mythic Tarot (which I can't find right now), in which the traditional tarot meanings have been...
I'm re-reading all the books of Xanth that I have (27 I think), and am currently in the middle of "Dragon on a Pedestal". I'm already looking forward to...
Yay, finally some new messages! I have a tarot deck... somewhere. I remember I used it in some role-playing games where I (being the Dungeon Master) had to...

I agree with you 100% about a video game based on the Apprentice Adept series, I just wish I knew enough coding to make one :-( It is too bad that the only...
That is a hard question, but if I have to pick, then Geis of the Gargoyle is my favorite. First because it was my first Xanth book, but also because I love the...
My favorite one has always been Castle Roogna. I don't know why. I guess I always enjoy time travel and I liked learning about Xanth when it was more wild...
... Gonna have to look that up again when I find my deck. ... I have used I Ching. My particular translation is interesting; besides giving the translation of...
... Been saving this to answer when I had time, but now that I have time, I'm not sure I know the answer. I'm a little behind in the series currently, so there...
Hi Folks, Alyse has joined up at PATH. She sent this to the list: I go to UWRF and I bring him up in all of my English classes. I had never read a book in my...
Welcome! Does UWRF stand for U of Wisconsin River Falls? I'm about oh, an hour, hour and a half south of you. I always knew there were other Piers fans in...

Welcome to the group, Alyse (cool name, by the way). The group hasn't been hyperactive recently, I'll see if I can change that by posting a controversial...
See, I told you I'd start a controversial post! I've started re-reading all the Xanth books in order (I'm currently in the middle of Vale of the Vole), and the...
Hi Hans, I am surprised that no one have jump in yet but maybe is because they agree with you? I know I do. And I love Piers and Xanth to death but yeah you...
Piers has told me that he has been upset for years because all the publisher wants from him is Xanth. He can't get other books into TOR, which is why I am...
... I like the fact that they now tend to be concentrated. That allows the people who are annoyed by them or sick of them to skip over them, but allows those...
I think that puns are a part of Anthony's style. Come on, they are funny and I love them. But yeah, like many of you have said... some like it and some don't. ...
No problem, Alyse, everybody has their own opinion and you didn't seem mean :-) But imagine reading your favourite series, and all of a sudden a very graphic...
Hans's contraversial post pulled me out of lurker mode for a few minutes. First, I want to apologize for not keeping the "Castle Roogna" book discussion going....
I'm torn on this one. When I was young, I loved the puns most of all. I discovered one of my other favorite authors (Spider Robinson) because I was informed...
Yeah Eric, when you said you disagreed at that point in my opinion I think you got my point :) even if you did not realize it (you kind of agreed)... "Alyse...
Some people on this thread have argued that Piers Anthony uses too many reader-donated puns in his latest Xanth books. I really cannot argue against this...
Hi all: I just want to say that I really like the way that Erin summary the pro and cons of puns in Xanth. I love puns and I love the way Piers created a whole...
