DO GEESE SEE GOD?

In "The Dark Lord of Derkholm," Derk's geese could communicate with the deities of the story... or so it was implied. Was this a play on the line above, or do you think it was just an interesting coincidence? :D

Uh....what?
This post may be deleted, but what the hell are you talking about? Elaborate a bit, and I might answer the question. I've read the book in question (although my opinion of DWJ isn't that high), and have no idea what you're talking about!

*ROFL*

I'm going to have to put that in my sig. I love DWJ and her books.

Thriving Fire, it's a joke from something that happened in that book. Read it and you'll get it. :D

DWJ is pretty good, The Merlin Conspiracy was I really good, but unrelated lol. Her essays on fantasy as a literary genre are also quite good, but again unrelated.

Well... think about it. DO GEESE SEE GOD is a palindrome, so was she putting it in her book for a play or not? ;)

I don't know, as I haven't read the book in Q, but I love DWJ's work. Favorite is definitely Howl's Moving Castle.

Palindromes are fun- just look at Weird Al's "Bob" xD
ohmeohmy
