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:

    No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.
    David Hockney (b. 1937)

    Nine-tenths of the value of a sense of humor in writing is not in the things it makes one write but in the things it keeps one from writing. It is especially valuable in this respect in serious writing, and no one without a sense of humor should ever write seriously. For without knowing what is funny, one is constantly in danger of being funny without knowing it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The machine invades me all day.
    Sharon Atkins, U.S. receptionist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
