Yeah, I can't believe it either *dry*. I discovered the joy of eBay and secondhand bookshops at approximately the same time, and it wasn't unknown for me to buy up to 20 books all at once. My pace of buying far exceeded my pace of reading :) Now, however, I'm just making a list of the books...

I think the general consensus is that there are enough discrepancies between Ryan's and McNab's books that no-one will ever really know the truth of what happened! Myself, I picked up a book called 'What Might Have Been' after seeing it reviewed in a national paper. It's a collection of...

Litany, I've already made this very point to Mr Rahl and he continues to post about his obsession with Terry Goodkind's books all over the forum. He even managed to twist a thread on the non-fiction forum into a discussion on the (dubious) wonders of these books. Richard Rahl - desist with...

Cool list, Thea! I hesitate at posting my own list of books that I own but haven't read, since it is reaching approx 290 books now! With the books that you have listed, I read Tess of the d'Urbervilles as a school text and was surprised to find that I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it can...

Is that a soiled lock of Barbara Cartland's white mane? Yessirree. Whoa, and here some crust of Jackie Collins! Two grande dames of the international crapulous romance genre I just think this is such a stupid reply to the thread! There will always be completely different tastes to reading -...

I've never read all-out romance novels like Mills and Boons, although I have read books from the romance section. An author called Kristin Hannah is worth checking out. I far prefer bonkbusters like Jilly Cooper and Fiona Walker when I want to do trashy, mindless reading.

I'm currently reading 'The Wrong Boy' by Willy Russell, and enjoying it very much. It was pretty gripping right from the off. The only thing is... either I have read this book before (a long time ago) or I am having major deja vu, because it seems pretty familiar! :o :confused: Raven: I...

Post infrequently on www.players-society.com Post almost too frequently on www.warhammer.org.uk (these are both wargaming forums, mostly discussing warhammer). And I post a lot on a forum called www.djinnsandthings.com but it's a very select membership.

Hi all, I have nervously decided to submit the first few paragraphs of a new piece I'm working on. I would be happy to have any (gentle) criticism and general comments about the tone, characters etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yirraeth...

*shudder* That letter reminds me exactly why I stopped reading his books.....

I like both, but I think paperbacks just edge it for me. Hardbacks look great on the shelves, but paperbacks age quicker. There's nothing I like better than having a well-worn paperback because it shows I've really enjoyed the story.

I just finished the Swords of Night and Day by David Gemmell, which I thought was superb. It was set up well by White Wolf, but SoNaD totally surpassed it.

I know how bad my memory is - it's about two years bad. I mean by that that I tend to remember books in detail for about two years or so. I know this because everytime RJ brings out a new WoT book, I re-read the series because I've forgotten various details! I know the general gist, but the cast...

I definitely think Moiraine is still alive, but I'm not sure she'll come back exactly as she was before...

I don't think it's world renowned... I would say Watership Down by Richard Adams - a book you can enjoy on so many levels, right from looking at it as a children's novel about talking rabbits to seeing it as a social commentary on things such as religion and fascism.

Wow! Yeah, I guess I should cut her some slack then! Cheers for posting this up for me. Her books all centre around a group of young adults who have supernatural powers. My favourite trilogy of hers is called The Secret Circle, and centres on a coven of young witches - male and female. There...

I read a couple of trashy women's mags ( :o ), SFX (all things sci fi and fantasy, with top notch book reviews) and Total Film.

I absolutely love this young adult's author - her books are great fantasy works. I was following her Night World series with interest and snapping up each book as it was released, but suddenly they stopped and I'm wondering if anyone knows why?

I've been enjoying the Keys series - both Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday were excellent. I love the idea of the main character having a health flaw. It makes him more real, and allows kids to believe that anyone can be a hero.

Don't get me wrong, I love learning new things. The best thing is a book that makes you think 'Wow, I never knew that'. But I prefer to choose my own course, rather than (as said above) have a list dictated to me.
