You had to start sounding all bookish

So don't blame me for continuing along the same lines.


Besides, I honestly don't quite understand what age the story plays in He's a leper, which points at.. well... a while back anyway but he uses the telephone


And no one ever reads Bookworld

With me, I never got beyond a recommendation of the series by a friend who was a fan.

I'd read some of Donaldson's sci-fi stuff, and I'd found I really didn't care for it (not his stuff specifically, just sci-fi generally), so I wasn't going to dive into a serial.

Hell, I've never even read Tolkien's Trilogy, and the movies put me to sleep.

I guess I'm flawed that way.

[Skweeky1]

Yeah... but the movies are nothing compared to the books.
I love the books but never liked watching the movies

Hmmm.

Books can put you to sleep, too...

That might be useful.

Maybe I get the books, then keep them by the bed, for emergency use.

It's set in the time it was written, on Earth. Leprosy is still about and he has it. Time passes at a different speed in The Land.

That is why he is constantly checking himself for any type of wounds. Some of his body's nerve ending have died, therefore it does not know if it is wounded, therefore it does not send anti-bodies to fight infections. So a wound would become badly infected if he does not clean and disinfect it as soon as he discovers the wound.

That is how he lost half of his hand, however if you did not read much into the book then you probably wouldn't get the significance of that.
