Hey, JS is young! He was about 30 when he first wrote the books. No wonder Luciene goes crazy about him!

I believe that to be irrellevent . . . ?
When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Something symbolic in that. It's what fake freedom does for you.

Very, infact. I was just surprised to hear JS's age. Odd, considering that never before have I even come close to contemplating an author's age.
Spelling, Umbreo.

Sorry, wasn't concentrating. Rarely happens. But does it really matter what age an author is?

Sent would use Paolini as an example.

True, Paolini's writing structure has vastly improved with age.

Mmhmm.
He needs to rewrite Eragon and Eldest, and hurry up with Book Four.

I didn't say he was GOOD, just improving.

Gah, everyone despises Paolini, he's alright now.
Hell, didn't you say you hadn't even read him, Umbreo?

Means 'quoted for truth.'

I remember when I thought for a time it meant 'quit flooping 'ecking talking.' It was a little embarassing to discover later I didn't have to get annoyed at people who used that acronym for what I thought apparantly no reason. :-/
