As if I didn't have enough books to read, and the SF Masterworks series, now I'll be rooting for any Fantasy Masterworks books. Just one month of college, that's all I ask.

It's said on the back of the book it was recently voted best fantasy series of all time after Lord of the Rings, but when I tell people about it, they have never heard of it. I guess recently it's all Jordan, Brooks, Eddings, etc... none of which I have had the pleasure of yet.

I really did like the series, yes Zaphod was awful, as was Marvin, but Arthur Dent was perfect, and Ford wasn't too bad either. I have heard slight rumours about Jim Carrey being in the new adaptation. A black rapper as Ford? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. What next, Marvin the...

Recently, I'm lucky to write a paragraph a day. But a few months back I was writing about a 1,000 words a sitting. After that I usually get angry at how bad it is turning out and just stop. If the story grabs me then I have written up to 5,000 words in one sitting, but more often than not its...

Greetings all. Can't believe it took me so long to find such an active book forum. It's late and I'm really not in the mood for waffling on about my boring self right now. Let's just say I am a student from Liverpool, and I'll let you form your own opinions. Favourite Authors...
