    Can someone recommend a good epic?

    Read the first one, very good indeed, quite complex with lots of main characters It's more subtle, not so 'in your face' magic. Raymond E Feist, try him, I have read the lot very good.

    How much is too much?

    I generally buy from Target and Kmart. 35% off new PB. However the selection is crap. Other places are second hand books. BUT the cheapest is ebay. I try to find book lots or buy several from 1 seller. This works out to AUS$3-8 per book. I have even bought books from the USA and paid for...

    The Book Directory

    Sounds interesting. I'd be willing to help out. However sometimes I will be at a location without net access for up to a month. Especially on any Exxon contract I take. They are really strict on net access for consultants. Would this be a problem. If it grows then you may need a couple...

    The Sword of Truth - Terry Goodkind

    something like that he was full of self loathing the whole series, became a bit of a bore but I managed to finish the books (all 6). I prefered Donaldson's Gap series so much more.

    what are you thinking about?

    My wife has been suggesting names for the past 5 months. I've kept saying no to her suggestions, much to her disgust.:) We'll probably call him Ewan, her fav for now. Our first is James Patrick. We both like Star Trek so I always say he is named after James T Kirk and the actor Patrick...

    David Eddings: Elenium And Tamuli

    Not a little kid Henriette. Read what you enjoy. As I said I enjoyed them but not now. As you get older you tastes will change, as will your perception of what is a good plot / character. When I was younger I really enjoyed the Dragonlance books. I recenty re-read one, and didn't enjoy...
