Son of Númenor has just left Hobbiton.
And its object is Art not Power, sub-creation not domination and tyrannous re-forming of Creation.
J. R. R. Tolkien, on the 'magic' of the Elves

Adieu!

I hereby leave to rest my most long-standing signature, a faithful companion for some-long-time...

It's from 'The Monstrous Regiment' by Terry Pratchett, one of my favourite books of all time - for those among you who haven't read it, I strongly recommend it and any of Terry Pratchett's works.

*sniff* R.I.P.

Hallo, fellow TP fan

Monstrous Regiment is one I haven't got yet. My current 'Flappity-flappity flap! Cheep, cheep! Ach, poor wee me, cheepitty-cheep!' comes from Wee Free Men

Boo-hoo.

I'm going to retire my "Random Quote from Random Book" sig. Since I am making pathethic attempts to participate in the Chapter-by-Chapter discussion I thought I would replace it with a choice selection from each week's chapter (depending on how I keep up with the discussion, and I don't have a particularly good track record yet.)

Farewell Oh Random Sig! May your eyries receive you at the journey's end!

*weep* *weep*

Ah, my turn to say I haven't read that one, although I was curious about your sig, Heren . The Monstrous Regiment and Night Watch are probably my favourites - yes, Vimes is probably my favourite character. Along with Death - Mort was the first Pratchett book I read, so, well...

My current signature is from a completely different fantasy type though - Susan Price's 'Sterkarm Handshake'.

Sigh, I had to edit mine, and leave the oddness behind, in favor of an announcment!

Now, let us all weep, as I leave my lack of sense and dollars behind...

Bethberry, I was curious about your sig: what is it from?
