Listen to my story, this may be our last chance.
IM actually reading like 99 books at once(which is odd since i dont normally read) IM readin these books

Finder
Trigun volume 1 of season 2
and some other books whos title I forgot and am to lazy to stand up and look.

Well those are the books I am reading..I dont normally cuase 1. I dont have time, and 2. I jsut dont want to I guess. I do get caught up in it big time when I do though, I get sucked right in and have to force myself out, its kinda funny...funny and a little sad.(tidus qoute right there)

I was *supposed* to be reading Belinda by Anne Rice, but all the mature themes were getting to me. I quit reading sometime in the middle. Maybe next time... :ermm:

So now I'm reading Beijing Doll by Chun Sue. Just bought it yesterday, and I'm almost halfway through. If only I could remember the Chinese names, they sound so alike. XD

I’m reading Many Waters by Madeleine L’ Engle. I'm not a big L'Engle fan, but this is one of my favorite books. Biblical and sci-fi at the same time...weird combination but it works!

Madeline L'Engle is EXCELLENT. My favorite book of hers is A Swiftly Tilting Panet. I love Charles Wallace!

Swiftly Tilting Planet is the only one of the Time Quartet i haven't read. I liked A Wrinkle in Time except for the climax ("I love you! I love you!" *grabs barf bag*) A Wind in the Door was bizarre but fun. Many Waters though...I found it deep and profound...so many seemingly incongruent themes fitted into one story...in short, I loved it! Just finished reading it for the bazillionth time.

I'm now reading The Phoenix and the Carpet, which is the sequel to Five Children and It. It's supposed to be a children's book but this is my first time reading it :unsure:

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.


It's a classic. :D

GAHHH!!! This book is like a nightmare that I can't escape! 
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?


I'm only on the 4th one. :)

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*).


AHHHH!!! What happened to him and Eguene??(SP) Never mind don't tell me!! I'll find it myself. >_< The sword's name btw is Calandor(sp) I believe...

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

The "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman...ah, I've mentioned it before but trust me, it's good!

Hey! Thanks I'll make sure and check it out.

My friend just loves her fantasy books.

Hey, anyone here ever read Blood Canticle by Anne Rice? Is it any good? I bought it today but I'm not sure whether I should start on it because I've only read the first three books of Vampire Chronicles plus The Vampire Armand and I'm afraid there may be many spoilers. :cry:
