I don't think it's necessary to read the Farseer trilogy first, but as Ainulindale said, it is recommended. I enjoyed both trilogies immensely. I haven't read the Tawny man series yet, but will do at some point.

There is a Christian author, Frank Peretti, who writes great books. I don't know whether or not they would be considered fantasy and I doubt you would find them in the fantasy section of any bookshop as they are more spirtual books thatare written in a fantasy type of way. (I hope you...

I don't differentiate between internet friends and real life friends. I feel no less for the friends I have never met face to face as I do for those I see everyday. As some others said, I too feel closer to some of my friends I met on the internet than I do with some real life ones. But...

Thanks. :D I'm from Australia as well, so it's Mother's Day here too.

The names don't bother me. If they are too long or difficult I just don't attempt to pronounce them.

I love reading because for a few hours I get to live someone else's life and experience their experiences.

I have had the same penpal for many years. She has become one of my best friends even though we have never met. She is from Holland and we have been through births, deaths, marriages and lots of other things in the time we have been friends. I'm glad that I still have her.

The Avatar series was quite good. I have only read the first three, but found them enjoyable. Unfortunately I can't remember the author.

I was under the impression that LotR was considered a classic. Some others that you mention, eg. Huck Finn, Dickens and Animal Farm are considered classics for different reasons. To be honest i don't know the reason for Huck Finn, but Dickens has a brilliant command of the English language and...

Everywhere! I love to read books about Europe, especially. Also historical books that take me to other times and fantasy books that take me to other worlds.

I got 5, but I don't know which 5 as I guessed all of them.

I read it several years ago, so I can't remember all the individual characters. But it took me about six months to read because I found that there was a lot in there, especially the historical essays in between the chapters, that I just had to sit and think about for a while before i continued...

I don't like the idea of arranged marriages, but that is because I have not been brought up to accept such things and also because like you I associate it with the 'women are property' mentality. However I do know that in the cultures where this is the norm, many people are quite happy with...

Me too. And Firecracker night on the June long weekend. I really miss that.

I think you are right Novella. Every situation is different and there is still the question of whether or not they love each other still. Even if they have grown apart and are not happy, they will probably not divorce if they still care deeply for one another. Constant fights and arguments...

Yes. I actually got confused and read the first book of the second series first. It didn't matter too much, but I have since gone back and read them all again from Daggerspell. That is something I will have to do again when she finally releases the last two. Amgemanda, I know what you...

I have to say that I agree with you 100%. I loved both trilogies and am looking forward to getting the next lot.

I love Katherine Kerr, but I have to admit that it feels like I have been waiting forever for these last Deverry books. I know she has been ill, but I don't understand why she wrote some other book before finishing this series.

I love Forgotten Realms still and I am way past a teenager. :D

Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a mystery novel dealing with theology, especially with catholic vs liberal issues. You search wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that learning is essential in life.
