I didn't notice, of course, Roger, you will laugh at my comment, because I'm blind, though I do have light perception.

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

That reminds me of the movie "Plan Nine from Outer Space." There is a chase scene in it where parts of it were filmed at night and other parts of it were filmed in the daytime. Did the people who made that movie really think that no one would notice?

Hi Folks,

I'm submitting a BSO tomorrow of a book I just finished reading. The book is Runelords: The Sum of All Men, the first book in the Runelords fantasy series by David Farland. I am series captain for this eight book, (so far) series.

It's actually a good book. Along with the conventional Fantasy elements, the author adds some imaginative ideas of his own and explores them in depth. The book also has greater moral complexity than a lot of Fantasy out there.

But in my opinion, the writing could be better. Here is perhaps one of the best examples that might give some of you a chuckle:

By evening the clouds blew out of the region altogether, and warmer air now suffused the night, almost as if it were any other afternoon in late summer.
