    Tad Williams

    I have just read 'War Of the Flowers' and i thought it was one of the best fantasy books I have had the pleasure to read. Tad Williams provides an insight into the main characters mind better than a first person author and his characters are imaginative, I loved Applecore, her first 'line' was...

    Why read books?

    I think I read to gain knowledge as well as for enjoyment. Obviously there is not much practical knowledge to be gained from fantasy, but many fantasy books contain useful lessons and, like all books, helps to increase reading skills and vocabulary.

    Did you ever throw a book across the room?

    I have only ever thrown one book across the room, and then into the bin: Oni - I read the first page, saw how sick it was, then I taught it how to fly.

    Lyndon Hardy and the "five magics"

    Yes, the first is called Master of The Five Magics. I think these books appeal to me because I enjoy institution in Fantasy. The concept of the main character gaining power, like Magician, also appeals to me, But I am still unsure about his "logic of magic".

    Lyndon Hardy and the "five magics"

    If you have read any, what are your thoughts on Lyndon Hardy's books? What are your thoughts on his "application of logic to magic" and his "five magics". I recently read The Secret Of The Sixth Magic and found it a great read, not coparable to Feist, but still very well written. I found that...

    Candy-Preference Personalilty Diagnosis, from "Psychology according to Novella"

    You answered that question by posing another. I have a personality...at least I think I do.

    Historians to sue over plot of 'Da Vinci Code'

    I don't beleive the anagram of Leigh and Baigent bit- nobody uses the same word in an anagram, it makes it too easy to work out. I notice that many authours who write a bestseller are sued.
