Yea Yea Similarions is a good one currently reading it. It tells you how men drawes and elves ents were created. Just finish the HOBBIT not long ago, its nice book you know did not expect a war at the last part.
Another series that i like is Warcraft. There is this series that splits into 3 books. Its really exciting |

QUOTE(Duke Beard @ Oct 3 2008, 09:31 AM) While entertaining, the SW novels feels pretty corny at times with the same cheesy dialogue taken from the movies... Yes, that I do agree. The dialogues can get a little corny sometimes, but I still find myself lost in the wonderful universe George Lucas created when I read the novels or watch any of the movies. |

Pardon me while I do the oh-my-god-I-love-Mr-Darcy thing Yea I've heard lots of people say that Mockingbird was too slow to finish. But I personally really liked it. Then again, that could be because I plan to study Law, and Atticus Finch was way too cool a lawyer to abandon the story. |

I LOVE Oscar Wilde and I don't think To Kill A Mockingbird was slow, it got really fast towards the ending. Have you read The Secret Life of Bees? The main character's personality is an echo of Scout,because the author is a fan of Harper Lee. It's about racial issues too (sort of) I'm currently reading Kim by Rudyard Kipling. |

now i am a fiend after r.a salvatore's drizzt series..anyone reading it here??..i find it compelling..and i think i am a little too old to read this sort of fantasy book..
gives me a hell of time to collect all of the books released so far..except the transition series of course..because it is a little too expensive for me...especially love the cover of 'the two swords'.. This post has been edited by nimloth32: Dec 25 2008, 07:58 PM |

Huge fan of Drizzt here, I have every book up to the Orc King, currently waiting for the Pirate King to come out in softcover. Huge changes abound for our dear Drizzt as the forgotten realms heads towards 4.0.
I'm currently reading Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. Not sure how famous Gene Wolfe is in our neck of the woods, but this guy is an AMAZING writer. Probably one of the greatest living writers regardless of genres. Even if you're not a sci-fi/fantasy fan, I highly recommend picking up some of his books for the pure pleasure of reading a well crafted, well written piece of prose. After I finish with this I'm gonna start on Jack Vance's Songs of Dying Earth collection. Got lucky and found it in Borders the Curve on Christmas day. Glee! |

Has anyone read books by Glen Cook? Books such as the Black Company and the Dread Empire? I was thinking on getting the omnibuses of these but would like to hear your opinions first
