This book is just out, and i'm considering buying/reading it. has anyone read it or the author's other books? would you recommend them to me? thanks!

how many books can you have on listal?

someone asked-yes, elves and dwarves are pretty much the same everywhere except in harry potter, where they're house elves(I rather dislike the idea. my lotr obsessed friend has had too much influence on me)

i know that when i read books, certain characters really inspire me, which partly makes me obsessed with the book. for example, artemis fowl and hermione granger motivate me to get good grades, and learn and study and commit, they motivate me to not give up, harry potter makes me mad at myself...

some of the books on your lists i've read and would definately recommend: angels and demons(faily entertaining), and sherlock holmes. Eldest isn't quite ias good, it drags out and gets rather dull. I have a list of about 250 tbr books in addition to piles all over my room. And those books you...

pearl, i'll also tell you to read pride and prejudice. it's great ad the 1st of her books i read. then i tried reading emma and another book by austen, and i just barely got through them. they're so very different and not as entertaining!

i've never heard of "we" i should read it. i've read both 1984 and animal farm and they were both wonderful, of course, but i think he went a little overboard with the making fun of the soviet union part. my parents and grandparents lived and grewup in the soviet union and while stalin was...

i just read it, seeing as the school is putting on the play, and i'd say it's great. i actually understood the moral quite well, and i've got to say this really is close to being a classic. although it's a bit dragged out in the end.

i have not yet read northanger abbey but i've heard that it's different from her other books. I read pride and prejudice when i was thirteen and enjoyed it IMMENSELY, i couldn't stop reading it. I loved the satire and witticism. HOwever, I also read Emma, Persuasion and Mansfield Park and those...

I'm doing forensics(public speaking) at school this year, and i was thinking of perhaps doing poetry. do you have any ideas for poems that aren't terribly old fashioned that coup be read in 3-5 minutes?

this is the newest artemis fowl book, and just came out in the us on friday. of course, i was in canada in the middle of the woods then-just my luck. but i got it saturday and astayed up all night reading it. It's amazing, and so different from what Iimagined. i need to talk to somebody about...

finally, someone who agrees!

personally, i think a lot of fantasy books have too many characters and places and too much history, you know those books? where you can't keep track of everything. there's a lot of them in the adult sci fi/fantasy section. you know those?

i don't know of any before WWII, but one i've heard of that is supposed to be good, it takes place after WWII: a woman in berlin.

I've been reading through the thread and it embarasses me how little i've read of classics! i haven't ready many of hte books you mentioned. Personally, I hated David Copperfield(way to long and autobiographic) and Emma. I enjoyed pride and prejudice very much, but austen's other books just...

i read the book and iagree, really, her entering the convent was unnecessary. when she said she would enter a convent that she dreamed of at the end of part 1 i think, i thought it was some kind of metaphor. i've also read Courtesan, and enjoyed that too for all the research she did and how...

i've noticed how many people are so picky about the condition of their books, and while tearing books on purpose(gasp!!) surves no purpose, i think it's the content that matters. I think if a a book is old, dog eared and falling apart it's better then a brand new one-it shows that you've read...

*types list of twenty books which she accidentally deletes* yes, i totally know what you mean!! i have so meany books on shelves and in piles and simply on my to be read list!! and more coming out every week-eek!

i personally don't care about the quality of the book, i care about the content. obviously i don't want to paya lot for a bad book in bad condition, but i'm perfectly fine with buying books in used books stores.
