Just finished "The Bone Collector" now reading the chapter summaries of the first nine books of The Wheel of Time in preparation for the Crossroads Of Twilight which gets released tomorrow. Anyone else excited by this release? Mike

I read these books once a year, starting with the Hobbit so I may be biased, but I think that there will definately be things thatyou will miss when you read them. I picked up a new thing, or appreciated something in a different way everytime that I have read them. I would say that I almost...

Dawn, They are filming Timeline as I write this: Timeline (April 11th) - Based on the novel by Michael Crichton. A group of archeology students are shocked to discover that their professor has- through an experimental technology- traveled to 14th century France and now is trapped there. The...

I always loved The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. I also recently read His Dark Material Trilogy by Phillip Pullman.

I love most of them. If I had to suggest one to get you started, I would say Pet Semetary as it is scary and a good example of his early work. If you are more interested in mainstream fiction, I would say Different Seasons, which contains The Body (Stand by Me) and Rita Hayeworth and the...

I am reading Fierce Invalids right now. I enjoyed Still Life With Woodpecker MUCH more. I am not really enjoying this. I at the point where I just want to get through it. Mike

Here is The Lord of the Rings in all in Red Book Glory Lord of the Rings - Amazon.com Mike

I am almost certain that Darren is right about "Riddles in the dark"

I have read it and look forward to January when #10 comes out. I really enjoyed it for 3 or 4 books and then Jordan lost his way. Too many plot threads at this point. I am still enjoying it but that is now tainted by an idea that he has ceased telling the story and started (only) cashing...

I hate folded pages. A couple of years ago I recieved an old $1 silver certificate in change at the food store. for those non-Americans, that is what the label used to say at the top of a dollare bill. It is from 1934. that is what I have used as a bookmark ever since. Mike

In no order... Watership Down - Richard Adams Hitchhikers Guide Trilogy - by Douglas Adams The Stand - Stephen King Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson

I do not think he will write a sequel b/c he has stated that he will not write the (planned) sequel to 'Salems Lot as too much time has passed. Carrie was written before 'Salems Lot so I would guess that the same reasoning would apply. Plus he is pushing through his Dark Tower series and...

There are 5 regions to the world. North America and Europe are Regions 1 and 2 (I Think) What is available to rent or buy in one is not necesarily available in the other. In very few cases, are there worldwide releases on the same day of anything. I thnk the movie studios and distributers...

I would be willing to bet that this is the same thing as the Region Encoding in the Home Theater World. Only, you can't make it so that people in other regions cannot read it. Mike

Shawshank Redemption or Stand By Me I think incredibly well done.

Reading Coma, and The Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman. The Coldfire Trilogy is slightly below average fantasy material IMO. But it has another 1 1/2 books to win me over. Next up will be Secret Prey by John Sanford. Mike

I have the Books of Lists 1994. I use a library program that I keep all the books I own, with all the information you could think of including location (storage Box 1,2...) Size, date aquired, price paid, value now, date I read it, Everything. I also keep another file with all the books I...

The 2 standard answers that I usually hear are Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird and Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby. I tend to throw in a character from Popular literature and include Roland from The Dark Tower Series. I think all are brilliant characters that are fascinating to read...

Toby Took, you are exactly right about the dragonlance novels. Looking back those two trilogies are probably the only ones that are any good. As for the nickname, it is from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson. Mike

How we came to reading I started reading for pleasure in the second or third grade. I picked up on the Choose Your Own Adventure series in the eighties and was hooked. Around fifth grade I read Stephen King's The Stand as my first adult book. My first exposure to Sci fi/Fantasy, was the...
