I would like to put Tom Robbins up for a vote, but I don't really know his work well enough to nominate something specific. So I’m going to suggest the one I do know: Still Life with Woodpecker - Tom Robbins Its the only Tom Robbins I have read, so if someone can suggest something better...

Jemima Aslana - Thanks for the links, will check them out. I have to say the whole PR-class thing sound awesome. I am not sure if I could do it but I would love to try. Its a shame they don't institute something like that in South Africa. Its amazing how quickly most people improve...

Ooo hobbies. Well currently: Tai-Chi (amazing, next year our teacher is going to teach us Kung-Fu as well, can't wait!) Role-playing always keeps me busy, planning on starting two new games, have to finish a module I am writing, and help with some stuff in a...

Ayan - I've never tried a forum RP before. Can you suggest any sites to visit?

Ok, I'll grant you my definitions were well.....wrong. I also started out on the PC and when I thought about it so did most role-players I know. Both the 'play by numbers' and the 'immersive' types. Now, I have to ask: role-playing classes? How do you get to teach role-playing? Are these...

oooh l almost forgot question: What was the best new years you have had?

I have been away from home now for 4 months, and not seen my girlfriend, or friends. Flying back the 24th, but then I have to visit family etc. So new years, I am going to organise a big party, invite everyone and get horribly, horribly drunk :D

Probably a MP3 player. He doesn't have one, and I know he would enjoy it. What is the one thing that guaranteed to get you into the Christmas spirit?

First about the above, this is a tricky issue. Even a guy can be forced, it is slightly more difficult then forcing a girl. Unless he has supreme self-control his body's reaction when faced with the possibility of sex is basicly automatic. I think the question is: Is a double standard...

How does what you read affect your Role-playing game. (Role-playing refering to table top role-playing games{RPG} like DnD, Vampire and the like) I have found that there are two types of role-players: 1. The play by numbers kind that usually move from computer RPG's to table top RPGs. These...

Hi Short You sound a lot like me, that was also the first books I started with, and the three Empire books (Daughter of the Empire, servant of the empire and mistress of the empire) are still three of my favourites. Its really difficult to suggest something, not knowing your tastes but...

Mmmm, I gues that is a rather obvious answer, but have to admit I never even considered it. Looking forward to the new list.

If you are going to list Midkemia you have to list Kelewan - Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire and Mistress of the Empire I love this world!

Anne Rice - Interview with the Vampire - 9 Atwood, Margret - Handmaid's Tale - 8 Bear, G - Eon - 7 Card, Orson Scott - Speaker for the Dead - 9 Card, Orson Scott - Xenocide - 8 Douglas Adams - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - 5 Douglas Adams - Life, The Universe, and Everything -...

Oh, another suggestion. How about changing the rating system? I know this might be difficult at this stage, but I realy strugle to rate something out of 10. A rating out of five is (for me) much easier and more accurate. People mostly give a rating of 7,8,9 or 10 anyway, and a 1,2,3,4 and 5 is...

Hi I haven't voted yet, but will do so shortly. I would like to make a request. Can the list of top 100 by rating also reflect number of votes? Arange the list first by rating then by votes, so that if there is more than one book rated as 9 (and there are) the ones with more votes will be...

Hmmm interesting topic. I would go for the one that scars my children the least. If we are talking slightly above average, I would go for intellect. Above average intellect can take you far in the world, were as above average artistic talents can lead to only ever being almost good enough...

Hi Im busy reading City of Saints and Madmen, and I'm loving it! It is one of the strangest books I've ever read, with such dry wit from the author. I especially enjoyed the 'study of the King squid' that included a bibliogropy of 25 pages at the end of the 40 page essay by the estimeed...
