    how well do you preserve your books?

    I originally had one book case, then two, then three. Then i asked for another, parents said no because your room can't support any more weight (I really have too many books.) So the stacking began, every clear surface gradually disappeared, until I came home one day to find that my mum had...

    Books on/in/about London?

    Edward Rutherfurd wrote a book called 'London the novel', guessing that my be what your looking for. Not really for people after fiction about modern London as it starts in the Roman period and carries on straight through the 16th century. Hope this has been a help, Bye.

    Can someone recommend a good epic?

    Tad Williams is a really amazing writer. Memory, sorrow and thorn was one of my favourite fantasy series of all time. Also have you ever heard of Chris Bunch, his Seer king trilogy was pretty good and centerd around two main characters one being an almighty wizard. Again plenty of romance...

    Please help!

    Thanks guys, I'll look into Gene Wolf and the fantasy masterworks collection. Any other ideas, easters coming up and I'm going to have two weeks to fill (after work, college, friends etc.) Ps- I've heard of Anne McCaffrey before (nothing but good things), but isn't she more of an scifi writer?

    favorite song?

    Fave songs at the moment are: Bad day-REM One week-Bare Naked Ladies Emmigrants farewell-Cara Dillon Lord of the rings 'two towers' soundtrack(as good as the movie) Really odd taste in music I know, really like some of the music other people have mentioned- but who is Neil Diamond?

    Reading in February

    I know what you mean. Just got about half-way today and an open fire would look very tempting right about now, possibly (and i don't say this very often) the worst, most unimaginative, so-called literary work I've ever actually had to force myself to read. I hope some of his other books will do...

    Can someone recommend a good epic?

    You should try the Recluse saga by LE Modesitt Jr. In depth characters with a hugely in intricate on-going story line which covers about 11 books, averaging about 600 pages each. Not really conventional description of magic in this saga centering on white or chaos magic, black or order magic and...

    Reading in February

    Recently finished the 'colours of chaos' by L.E Modesitt Jr, have to say that it was a good read, though he does seem to forget about the backgrounds of his characters in all the endless narrative (upon occasion not a bad thing) I'd give it a 9/10. Just about to start the'fith sorceress' by...

    Greetings from the New Forest.

Thanks for the welcome, i really appreciate it and your right about the whole location thing, it is pretty long winded(soon to be...
