Yeah, I think you are, when he was imagining her so he could contact her he was thinking of the image he had from their soulgaze. It doesn't mention 19 anywhere in that section that I could find.

As an ex-employer of mine used to say - "There are no stupid questions only stupid mistakes!"

Funny a ex-employer of mine used to say - "There are no stupid questions but there are fucking stupid people asking questions some times!" A very funny man but he had little patience for people.

(this is in no way a comment about any one's questions here its just a little anecdote about my life) 

It is never really established if there were original Mayan gods to start with, it could have been the reds the whole time. I am sure someone wants to jump in now and point of that it says in the book that the red king was afraid of the Mayan gods returning but let me point out that that particular quote also mentions that it could be that he is afraid of it being a archangel or spirit of light and most of all let me point out that this is Harry's opinion of what the red king could be thinking. Harry forming his opinion based on a few seconds glance at the red king and extrapolating from that. The red king is a being that is thousands of years old that Harry has never met before in his life. I think its a long shot that Harry is able to guess exactly what he his thinking.

And on top of that even if Harry did guess correctly as to what the King was thinking in that instant that still does not offer proof that there ever were Mayan gods after all even the red king who is like I said before thousands of years old and has presumably lived in that region for most of that time doesn't really believe that there ever where Mayan gods. He would be a pretty good person to know if there were some wouldn't he?

Having said all that I will now contradict what yall are thinking and say that I do believe that the Mayan gods did exist and I myself wonder what happened to them since I don't think the Red Court would have had the power to destroy them or drive them off. Now you are wondering if I do in fact believe in the Mayan gods existing why did I wast all that time writing about how we don't really know if they ever did. Well I guess I just like to be exsact in my understanding of the facts and also like to argue with myself so I might as well make you all privy to what goes on in my head. 

He knew on­ly that it had hurt him when he had tried to mur­der the child. From his per­spec­tive, it could have been al­most any­thing—an archangel stand­ing guard, or a spir­it of light as ter­ri­ble as the Ick had been foul. I thought back to the voice com­ing from Mur­phy’s mouth, pro­nounc­ing judg­ment up­on the Red Court, and sud­den­ly un­der­stood what was mak­ing the Red King hes­itate, what he was re­al­ly think­ing: that the en­ti­ty over the al­tar might be some­thing he did not think ac­tu­al­ly ex­ist­ed—like maybe the re­al Kukul­can.

Lash recalled the Word of Kemmler for Harry with photographic memory not the Erlking book, two different books people.

I'm not really sure what type of book I am looking for, I am new to writing so I am leaning more on what yall feel was the most helpful book rather than any particular kind.

Dina, are you in Brasil? I used to be on a support desk, and we constantly had to tell visitors to Brasil that the internet works fine inside the country, but getting to the rest of the world sucks. (This is apropos of nothing. Just curious.)


" But there are no bad Diskworld books..."

They're rare, but they exist. Masquerade, Unseen Academicals, and the first 2-3 novels are not very good (compared to the rest of his work). And while Mort is important and a fun little yarn, never start someone on Pratchett with it.

Interesting I actually liked Masquerade better than lords and ladies, and while I didn't think Unseen Academicals was his best work I thought it was better than Making Money. I guess it just goes to show that everyone has their own tastes.
