Interesting/Funny Foreshadowing in The Book

  • While in the library of Shavas's home, Caramon sees a book entitled "Lord Soth". Caramon thinks to himself "Lord Soth. Dumb name."
  • While in Shavas' library, Raistlin finds a book entitled, "Tanis Half-Elven" Raistlin pauses briefly, saying, "Fascinating, but, unfortunately, unimportant."
  • Shavas seems to have a tome referencing many (if not all) of the major characters in the DragonLance universe. She reads from a book entitled Brothers Majere that outlines the twins' life up to that point in time. This book also makes reference to works entitled, Tanis Half Elven, "Flint Fireforge", "Sturm Brightblade", "Kitiara uth Matar", "Tasslehoff Burrfoot".
  • The city walls of Mereklar have been carved with events from the history of Krynn. One of these carvings, Earwig sees, is the battle of Raistlin and Fistandantilus. Though it won't happen for another six years, it technically already did happen 300 years before when Raistlin goes back in time.
  • While walking through the street with shops, they pass a bookstore with the name Oxford, there they see a huge dictionary displayed. This could be a reference to the Oxford English Dictionary books.

Famous quotes containing the words interesting, funny and/or book:

    The record of one’s life must needs prove more interesting to him who writes it than to him who reads what has been written.
    “I have no name:
    “I am but two days old.”
    What shall I call thee?
    “I happy am,
    “Joy is my name.”
    Sweet joy befall thee!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn’t get serious with people. They don’t expect it from you, and they don’t want to see it. You’re not entitled to be serious, you’re a clown, and they only want you to make them laugh.
    Fanny Brice (1891–1951)

    O God, that one might read the book of fate,
    And see the revolution of the times
    Make mountains level, and the continent,
    Weary of solid firmness, melt itself
    Into the sea.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
