thanks for the awesome response, anybody else?

surprisingly, to me at least cuz i consider myself a fantasy reader, id probly have to reccomenmd "Silent to the Bone" by... wait... SE Hinton? something like that iom not entirely sure...

kool! my first book for the forums!!!!!! ... but before i tell my mom to buy it, i dont want her saying that its some incredibly adult book or something. what's it about basically? i can handle length, complications, and violence, and scenes similar to those in angels and demons and the soT...

i prefer paperbacks because it makes the book seem longer, not to mention is compact, easy to carry, and cheap. also, all of my terry goodkind books are in paperback, so on the shelf it expresses the fact that im a voracious reader, especially considering that the second book is very visbly near...

may i comment on this whole thread? "yes" thank you! anyway, this is an insult to those of us who appreciate eddings! your calling me stupid for liking eddings? also your talking about a matter of opinion not intelligence, i understand books that are on a different lvl then eddings, but i may...

im new so i dont know if theres guidelines to these books or not- but here goes nothing! something by eddings or goodkind would be nice. garthj nix's "Sabriel" would be good also, Clement davis "fire bringer" or "the sight" Jonathan Straud's "Amulet of Smarkand" (it incorporated the...

I'm new to these forums so i apologize if this is a repeat thread. Anyway, if you could be a character from a book who would you be? Also what world would you choose for that character to live in? Or, what attributes do you wish you could have from your character but still be yourself (i.e...

i enjoy reading terry goodkind and david eddings mostly. terry goodkind because he bases each book on a "wizard's rule" which are also important human ideas, the firsty of which is in my signature. eddings, because of his new way of looking at life, a kind of cynical wisdom that opened my eyes...

i didn't know mundania press made short stories! i must buy them all!!!!!! :D :p

thanx for the info! ill probly buy those, they sound good, though im not too in to d&d!

i cant see how you dont see the fact that each one supports a human principle important in life, and besides he gets past the sex crimes in naked empire ( i admitits the last book so far... but at least he got over them :D ) the point is, you have to read most of the series to realize...

well the only short stories ive ever read were in "the mammoth book of fantasy" and "ursula le guin's Tales of Earthsea" which were really amazing! :D

personally i rarely read non-fiction, when i do its for research on medievel mythology (greek, norse, egyptian, etc.) to use in my books and such. but although i don't read philosophical books, i do read fantasy books that hold MUCH philosophy... i mean terry goodkind's latest book in the soT...

anyone notice that they never wore robes? ever! hermoine wore the same clothes for basically all of the movie!!!! though i cant say they didn't look good on emma... ;) :D jk, anyway, the point is that they completely ignored the telling of the secret-keeper's charm, and didn't explian who...

I agree, Lirael was definitely the best of the series... though imust admit that witnessing the ninth charter was anything but tedious :D as for the keys series, its wonderful! i cant wait for "lady wednsday" to come! i also enjoyed the seventh tower books, though they were an incredibly easy...

hmmm, i really liked Da Vinci code, because im jewish... and it disproved christianity! jk :p it was good nonetheless, the only other one i read was angels and demons, but that was ruined with the pornagraphic scenes ;) at least... it ruined the research part :D

ohhh! sorry about that! anyway, id still go with sime nice Eddings and Goodkind compared to what im hearing about this book.

im aware, i was partly joking, but i do love the entire series! i just dont see whats wrong with bringing jagang in there.

sounds alot like speaker for the dead by Orson Scott Card to me...

id have to say that although its great fun stuff to read Rowling's work, its a bad place to start- that kind of fantasy is like a "wanna-be" in my opinion, compared that is to things like... eddings who is great!!! knightly feel as {insert name here} said :D and all of opon's im sure are great...
