I love all the fascinating discussions on the linguistics of certain words, like 'basileus', or the analysis of the Ilyad-except-not (sorry, brain's not working at the moment).
I love the discussions where we all try to make sense a scene from the books (especially KoA, because my gosh there's a lot to discuss in that book). Individually we're all confused, lost, or just unobservant, but collectively, we kick these books' butt. And I always have so much fun getting enlightened!
Can I ditto all of these? I have learned sooooo much from reading everyone else's responses to a question posted. Even when I never thought to question a scene in the first place. Sounis makes me think, which is why I like MWT's books in the first place.
