i think these are his best books. i think he has one other book-buried fire. but yeah, i loved the sarcasm of bartimaeus, and his knowledge of history. see, i read the 3rd one after actually having history in school, so i actually got all the historical jokes then.

any other books you guys would suggest? there's a book called the Poe Shadow that i've seen, but haven't read, but the author of the Dante Club. I'll get around to it eventually. why was the templar legacy painful?

well, this thread hasn't been posted on in a while so i'll liven it up! let me just put it that way: no matter how inaccurate it is, or how much a reader can guess about the plot, most people don't know history well enough to be able to spot the inaccuracies, just as most people can't guess...

i have a quote from artemis fowl that i just can't place. can you help me with who said it and when? "believe it or not, i got quite agitated" also, do you know who's on the cover of the british edition of "the arctic incident"? if you could help me that would be a lot of help! sorry...

my english teacher handed it to me and i was just like "what the hell, i'll read it". i only got interested towards the end though-at the beggining i was kind of mad at the spoiler about who dies. But the book is a good one.

are there any non-fic books you would suggest having to do with what is discussed in the da vinci code and other books? I mean, there are a ton of books out there like "uncoding the da vinci code" or "the truth behind the da vinci code" but which books are the good ones? has anyone read the Da...

Books like the Da Vinci code? could you guys suggest some thrillers/mystery books for me that are like dan brown's da vinci code and others? Ones that aren't jsut stupid mysteries, but that actually have interesting information in them and require you to think. My dad has read all of dan...

yeah, i saw it on imdb. i looked at the picture and the musketeers didn't look like they were supposed to in my opinion.

i didn't read your spoiler cuz I never read spoilers, and I haven’t even started louise de la valliere. But that’s ok. Wow, when the acting is so bad it’s painful I wonder how the movie even sold. Did Disney make a three musketeers movie? I thought it was a cartoon. I have’t yet read the...

wow, this thread is kinda dead...people haven't posted in a while. I've met T.A. Barron and Sarah Dunant and they both turned out to be very nice, interesting people. Im meeting Frances Sherwood on Thursday, in 4 days!

Some endings can be looked at by some people as sad and happy by others.

I'm in 9th grade now, but i have a feeling most books I would suggest would be too much on the classics side. If you liek fantasy, though, try Artemis Fowl. Agatha Christie thrillers are good for when you want a thriller. Princess Bride is a good book. And i do NOT echo Catcher in the Rye. We...

a spreadsheet?? i jot books i want to read down on whatever piece of paper is closest. sometimes my hand even. if you haven't read 1984 yet i would suggest that.

so i guess i can do the new quote. hmm...let me think i hope this won't be obvious: "a towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value."

anyway, i got louise de la valliere out of hte library(and i finished the vicomte de bragelonne). and it's even more depressing cuz they're so OLD. I mean, Raoul is the age d'artagnan was in the three musketeers. Which makes you think. But I've been thinking about this. So, Raoul is the son of...

i take most books out of the library, but i buy books such as sequels that i will probably like, or books at sales. sometimes i buy books i've already read and that's how my collection builds up, and i can't get rid of it-and don't want to, either. And then authors come to town and i buy their...

i agree with you about the covers with gorgeous dresses. however, i haven't read many of the books i've put on my list because of that reason. But the ones i've read ARE pretty good.

May i suggest that we have a historical fiction forum? So it would be a forum like the fantasy forum, or the thriller forum, etc...

fantasy moon: please do, it's extremely good. and try reading some of his other books. that's why i don't like movie adaptations. they spoil the book. I never watch the movie before i read the book, but i sometimes watch it afterwards, and I have yet to find a good adaptation of a...

the man in the iron mask is one of those hollywood adaptations that are terrible and the musketeer woman is some other completely unrelated story. old movies tend to be good. there's a 3 musketeers from,like, 1970 or something try that one. i'm gonna make mysel fan avatar from the movie when i...
