I'm now reading The Vampire Armand and it's making me blush.  It is very...uh...graphic. Let's just say that Anne Rice is a yaoi fangirl's dream.


I've always been a big fan of Anne Rice books until Merrick came to surface. Blood and Gold has always been a personal favorite of mine. Be sure to catch that one if you haven't.

Ever tried the New Jedi Order? I loved it...until they killed off my fave character cry3.gif


Hmm, call me weird, but I wasn't interested with the new gen characters (Jacen, Jaina, Anakin). I stopped getting SW books when I heard they killed off Chewbacca and Mon Mothma... >.<

Am also not interested with the Old Republic novels...

The Silmarillion, Lord of The Rings, Pride and Prejudice, Wicked, and any books that has Drizzt Do'Urden and/or Artemis Entreri written by R.A. Salvador...

I love the Silmarillion. It's a truly great book. Everyone has heard of and/or read Lord of the Rings, but so few people have read the Silmarillion. :(

I'm reading the Warriors series by Erin Hunter (excellent series, they look silly but are extremely good), and Fire-Bringer by David Clement-Davies (I hope someone here has read The Sight... I love that book.) I <3 animal fantasy.

I currently have only three books which she wrote and I'm still looking till I find all.
I like the way she writes and according to what I heard, her books are classics, maybe that's why they're quite rare.

I've only read 'The Queen Of the Damned' and honestly it took me aruond a month to finish reading. I guess that goes to show that my patience is very low, but when I can, I may read more of Anne Rice's works. :D

Sigh... one of my favourites. The language, the imagination is beyond this world. :D

I'm into classics right now; I'm reading the Little Women series, right from the first book to the sequels; Little Men and Jo's Boys. I just love her books.

Wheel Of Time is about a very powerful hero who gets reborn every few centuries or so to battle the great "dark one". It's a typical "good destroys evil and save the world" kinda thing.


GAHHH!!! This book is like a nightmare that I can't escape! :puke:
I hate the characters, the plot, the looong pages and thick books, almost everything about it. But I'm still reading it.

It's like I don't want to but something's forcing me to read every freaking book that comes out in this series. I've lost count... 12 books already?

The main character's is a guy who experiences a total personality surgery once he acquires 'The Great Power' a.k.a forbidden magic which men/guys are not supposed to have because it'll corrupt the minds of those who wield it.

At the beginning of the series he was a lovely, naive boy going out into the world, full of fresh hopes and dreams. I liked him there. But once he realizes he can wield the 'One Power' at 'The Blight', and gets 'The Sword' (what's it called again?) from 'The Castle', he changes into such an arsehole who forgets his friends, gets into moody swings, demands a whole lot of crap from his supposedly 'loyal' people, and marries 3 women (which none of them the girl he planned to marry in the beginning *sniff*).

And don't get me started on the 3 women who happens to be the hero's wives...

Oops, am I ranting again?

But then again, I rather enjoy the Aes Sedai and the One Power/True Power elements... only when they don't involve the main character.

Oooh, sounds juicy... ::encourages rant:: :devil:

I'm now reading The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki (and a book of poems by Carmen Willcox called Luminarium: In Search of the DreamChild on the side). ^_^

:lol: The first book of the Wheel of Time was GREAT, but the story went downhill from there. I should rant about it sometime. And yes, I HATE the fact that he turns into a polygamist.

I'm currently reading, for the billionth time, Anna Karenina. ^_^

Unfortunately thanks to grad school most of my reading has now been completely centered around academic books. However, a personal favorite of mine is Frank Herbert's Dune.

Anyone ever read it? If you are a SciFi fan, you need to put this book on your list.

Chewie's death was done very well...really heroic. His nephew's a Jedi. A Wookie Jedi...now that was weird.

I loved Little Women but I turned sour in the end when Jo turned down handsome, funny Laurie and married that ugly old Mr. Bhaer!!!

Yeah, that *was* bad... but I'm a fan of Laurie/Amy, so it didn't bother me much. :angel:

Actually me too. When Amy married Laurie, I was like "Mwahahaha, poor Jo doesn't know what she's missing" :P

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fantasy type book? I need to get my friend a gift. -_-

And the last book I read was the DaVinci code. That was a while ago, though. I don't read books that often to be honest but when I do, I get really into them. XD

Hey, has anyone read the short story titled 'The Scream' by H.Briscoe (if I remembered corretly:unsure: )???

Well my English class lecturer at the Uni. assigned a project and asked us to choose from a few listed short stories and change it into something other than a short storie. in a group of 4 people we developed an online comic based on that short storie and well it turned out pretty good.


We assigned each other with jobs, I was the reporter and the script writer , the senior student in our group, she was the artist, my other classmate was the presenter and the one who did the power point for the class presentation and the latest member of our group was the webmaster.

From a normal short story, we morphed it into a horror manga. Hope you enjoy it.:)

The way my friend drew and coloured it, I noticed some similarity to Cloud and Aerith in the two girls ( though we changed the characters from sisters to classmates)

I hope you don't mind me sharing it with all of you and I hope I posted this in the right section .

(if it doesn't work , I'll repost the link)
