Goodbye then! *NM* fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 08/12/2009 06:45:25 PM
Jordan is shallow. That doesn't keep him from being a fun read. I like eating McDonald's from time to time, but it's still crap. I am not changing my mind.

I am also not going to attempt to give you a crash course in Semitic and Sumerian linguistics. The proto-Semitic root L-Y-L is not the basis of the word "Lilith" and if you can't grasp that the root has the same essential meaning as the primary word derived from that root, I can't help you. I own the Sumerian Lexicon but I am not going to teach you how Sumerian works just to explain that you're not reading it right, or that Inanna (and Nanna, for that manner) are different from Enlil and Ninlil, and that Lilith is separate from both.

I have work to get back to. I've made my point.

Oh my God...trying to use agape in context of this series is overkill to the nth degree. - 07/12/2009 04:12:56 AM 515 Views
It may not provide intrinsic value to you. But for me, yes. - 07/12/2009 06:06:40 AM 544 Views

I don't really see any "great" themes per se, just an enjoyable story, like the pulp serials. - 07/12/2009 03:32:43 PM 499 Views
