The Paladin of Souls is a wonderful book.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ginger, did you get a chance to read Say Goodbye yet?

No, JS, but I do have it neatly piled in my to-be-read pile, which also includes the 9/11 Report, The Things They Carried, a Jennifer Crusie book, a couple of mysteries and a book about tuberculosis.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I loved Paladin of Souls. As soon as I read it, it leaped over Memory in my mental ranking of Lois McMaster Bujuld's books, and is currently in first place.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I actually found that out at a picnic last summer...

Ah, gotcha. I have a similar pile with different books.

Well, unless one of your mysteries is the new Ian Rankin.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Okay, I have finished Set This House in Order and would like to ask what others thought of the spoily revelation in the very middle. Because it -- didn't turn out to matter as much as I thought it would. Or, at all. Which was strange and not-right.
Suela? Micole? Anybody else read this?

The status is NOT quo.
I read it. I adore that book; Ruff has such a unique style. Fool on the Hill was my favorite book through college.
However, I read Set this House when it first came out, so I'll need to skim back through to remember the section you're referring to.
