IdealGuy Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Just wondering. read a book on the second generation of the twins you know raistlin and camaron. well could not find a second book You may have been confused there, Caramon and Raistlin ARE the first generation twins. The second book you're referring to might be Time of The Twins, right?Teka, don't you hang out at the KAMANAVA thread? Baka neighbors lang tayo, I can loan you the book if you want.

IdealGuy Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 necro, were u able to find my handle here? ideal guy, nice idea, I wish i could borrow ur book about huma, want to read more about him, have u read the 5th age yet?Since nabanggit na naman Dragon Lance... Alam nyo ba title ng book tungkol sa mga anak nila? May nakwento sa akin dati na meron daw, but I forgot the details... names ng characters, title ng book etc. Sorry dude, haven't read any book from the 2nd generation. I just get sentimental about it. Feeling ko kasi, the best of Dragonlance is ended after the 1st generation. I could be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment
IdealGuy Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 why don't you just go to powerbooks... you can have a private reading while having your coffee, pasta or cake... basically any book from 1. jeffrey archer2. gabriel garcia marquez3. robert ludlum4. hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy (tnx tri)5. harry potter series do you guys actually have an EB??? can't we have one??? over coffee... best way to talk about a lot of things.. Hey that's a great idea![/size] Come on, people, let's organize a book lovers' EB! It will be like a mini gathering of intellectuals who know how to have fun. Hindi puro brainless partying and booze lang, right? I can even show you some books that I'd personally recommend to you. (Side note: has anyone here read any work from Anthony Robbins? Gosh, what a great motivator and life changer!)I think it'd be great fun! I suggest it be held at a not too noisy and crowded place in QC. What do you people think? :cool: Quote Link to comment
lord_rochester Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 an eb would be really good. basta over coffee Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 bods1000, una pa kamo kesa powerbooks? i have to check booktopia out. wala ba silang branch, libis is a bit out of the way for me well-selected ang mga titles nila you can check it out.....no branch, just opened a few months ago....saka they sell these plastic covers sort of laminates for soft-bound and hard-bound books....

drEVILmba Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Good Morning.Agree with EB but kung maramihan dapat sa labas ng coffee shop Quote Link to comment
raistlin Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 With regards to the details of the twins, they are the first generation. Camaron and Raistlin are just the first generation twins. Caramon on the other hand had three children from tika. They are base from the name of the original companions. Out of the three, the youngest survived, which is palin and he became the head of the conclave of the wizard in the end. Palin is a white robe mage, who recieved the staff of maguis from his uncle Raistlin. Palin got married and had a child name ulin who is part of the conclave. During these times, was when magic slowly died and they had to rely on magical artifacts created during the age of dreams, time where huma was around. The 5th age was the time where all magic where depleted and the dragons are the supreme overlord of the land. Any other questions regarding the 5th age? I have limited info on 5th age, since I read just a couple of them, especially the dawn of the 5th age, where new heroes where called upon. Among the original heroes left where caramon, tika, goldmoon. Raistlin is rumoured to be alive, when palin took his test to be a full fledge wizard. Raistlin is in the abyss, and he is constantly tortured by takhisis. Kitiarra would be revivied by her faithful blue dragon. I don't know if that happened Quote Link to comment

shrike Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 greek ? not easy at first but it's worth the effort.the closest way to get the frame of mind of the author is to interpret the work in its historical context and on its own language. sometimes interpretations can not capture the original intention of the author thus the need to deconstruct the work by its native tonque. the best thing you can get in joining literary workshops is that you can swim into the author's mind and really be immersed in the world his/her work creates. a good literary piece stands the test of time and context but knowing the original intent of the writer is the key in understanding the piece. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
