I'm about halfway through Ian M. Banks' Consider Phlebus, and really enjoying it. I've got a Robin Hobb lined up to read next. I've read the Laurell K Hamilton books about Merridith, can't remember what they're called now, but I'm eagerly waiting for the next one. I haven't read the Anita...

I have read Book of the New Sun, definitely takes some effort to read but very worthwhile! I got the second one but think I'll have to reread the first one!! I've heard a lot about Robin Hobb, is she any good?

I absolutely love the Chronicles of Amber. No one I know has ever heard of him! I must have read and reread the Amber books at least five times!

Thanks for the info funes. I've read Borges before, 'The Book of Sand', but will definitely have a look at your suggestion. One of the people in my group said she thought contentlessness was like a belief, like when people have faith in something. Not sure exactly where she was coming from...

Does the title of a book define its content? Initially it would give you an idea of what the book was about, but the content could then change the meaning of the title. If that makes sense. I read a book once called "Read". Every page was red and the type was red too, after I read it the...

Thanks for that. Yeah I've read Lord of the Rings. Wouldn't describe it as a little trilogy though! Keep meaning to read Magician but never quite get round to it. Had a look at Gardens of the Moon-looks good!

I really like the idea of creating the content simply by thinking it. People don't seem to like leaving things empty or blank for long, just look at all the graffiti about! I'm trying to make things for the project that don't have any content but the idea of even a blank object having content...

I do like trilogies. I don't go out of my way to read them specifically, but I nearly always end up reading them! Which authors do you like rune? I'll have a look at Steven Erikson!

Ell, that's just what I was thinking but couldn't put it quite so eloquently!! Thanks for the opinions!

It's a hard one to explain.... One of the questions I was set was "Can anything truly lack content?" We then had to choose a subject area to work in and I chose books. I wondered if a book can lack content, other than having blank pages? Hope that helps? I'm still trying to understand it myself.

I'm in my last year of a Graphic Design BA and the project I'm working on at the moment is about the lack of content in a book. Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on this. Can a book- not necessarily a novel- have no content? Any thoughts on this? Very weird I know, but any comments...

I find post it notes really useful. They don't mark the book and you can stick them under the line you just read! I lent someone a book once, when I got it back there were pages falling out of it!!! I had to go and buy another copy!

Just finished Louise Cooper's Time Master Trilogy and am stuck for where to go next. I've read pretty much all the Sheri S. Tepper books I can get my hands on and have dipped into Neil Gaiman and Charles De Lint, which I really enjoyed. Who does anyone recommend I should try next? Ta, Ali.
