Yep, a list in one's profile would be awesome :) I'll buy that idea.

And I don't follow either 'cause they don't tell me anything that's actually of use... so heh...

Or maybe it doesn't have a theme? Or maybe it's a thriller like they say in the bookstores around here, which have suddenly given it a theme other than plot. There are many options.

Ohhhh my god... I just noticed all the spelling errors in my last post and I can't go and edit them... I'm so embarrassed, how utterly horrible.

Oh yes, The Dark Elf Trilogy was most definitely the strongest of RAS' series. His writing had improved and the story hadn't gotten old yet. And it had evil drow :D I'm a sucker for evil :p I must say I prefer Homeland to the others though. Insight into drow society and much delicious evilness...

Personally I started with The Brothers and, as stated, have yet to finish it, and I'm liking it quite fine, so I really wouldn't know. Crime and Punishment is on my shelf and will be read once I'm done with The Brothers, but clearly I've gotten into Dostoyevky's style just fine without reading...

I have no clue.... how am I supposed to remember that? *wracks brain* Impossible. I remember my mum reading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe for me when I was 6 or 7. But my own reading.... I really have no idea at all.

I'm with Moto on this one. I for one would rather people started threads with a brief comment on what they thought of the book than post in the 'Just Finished' thread where we can be sure a new book will be mentioned very soon after. Granted a big thorough review is awesome at times, but not a...

Ahhh yes, Toblerone implies some heavily masochistic tendencies. In the immortal words of Billy Conolly: "Toblerone! Ye can't eat it without hurtin' yerself!" ;) I myself am incredibly fond of toffee and I suppose I am a bit of a control freak - I confess! However, I also have a severe...

Oh yeah, ions is right. If your break has been very long or if you never really read heavy stuff before you should save Dostoyevsky for much later. I was a bit quick there perchance :p

My fav this year would definitely have to be either the Aquasilva Trilogy(Anselm Audley) or Taliesin from the Pendragon Cycle (Stephen Lawhead)

Hmmm, doesn't sound like he'll remain Arty much longer then. Taking a look at his life is usually a bad thing for the bad guys to do. Tsk tsk tsk.

LOL We have a deal :D I'll let you know when I've managed to procure the book so we can continue not posting any spoilers :p

Actually the other author, Lewis Perdue never sued Dan Brown & publisher. It was Dan Brown & publisher who sued Perdue to get him to stop talking about how The Da Vinci Code was suspiciously similar to Daughter of God and The Da Vinci Legacy. Also, I read the court papers, and the judge merely...

Well, the dear ole farmer is in his good right to demand that his own ids never touch The Scarlet Letter again, but from there to blaming the teacher for some pregnancies because he taught a book about a woman being punished for overstepping the rules of society - I don't see any logic there...

I am reading through The Brothers Karamazov, and spite of the size of that book it isn't actually as heavy as one might expect. If you can get into Dostoyevsky's style of writing I promise you won't feel encumbered, his language has a very nice flow. I was rather suprised myself when I sat down...

I see what you mean, Kook, and whether I get the withdrawal feeling depends greatly on the book. It also depends on how long it has taken me to read said book. If I've been reading a book for weeks and weeks on end then the events in it have had time to really settle in my mind and I will be...

It can be named: Shameless Plugs ^^

It's a good idea, but I won't envy you guys who have to actually go through all those many^100 posts.

That one is a part possibly the third of a trilogy called Chronicles of an Age of Darkness. The Wordsmiths and the Warguild The Women and the Warlords The Wizards and the Warriors These make up the trilogy. I haven't read them myself, but could it be you didn't start with volume 1 and thus are...
