mari - off topic i know.. but i wondered... chatting online with a group of americans one day, another aussie came into chat, and we took off with the conversation - long story short - the americans commented amongst themselves at how different our grammar was to theirs.. do you take...

good enough... :) must spoil a lot of books for you tho....

huh? where did that come from? and why?

Mari? you let grammar stand in the way of a good read? and really, raffaellabella, just what was wrong with this book in your esteemed opinion? why have you relegated the book to the stacks of bad literature? did you read past the first page?

totally agree with Magemanda! trilogies were accepted, then they came in 4's and 6's and now...... there's all too much waiting inbetween book releases.. i've long forgotten the start to WOT and SOT, the details anyway.. and Kerr's Deverry series as well, Daggerspell was released in 1986...

finally read this trilogy.. i hadn't realised it really was more a young adult read than anything else.. finished all three books in record time once i'd started.. it was an enjoyable, easy read, but over too soon...

i have way too many favourite books, couldn't pick one to save my life.. well, ok, maybe i could in that case... but i think MonkeyCatcher has it...

Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Prachett) this guy always makes me smile... good enough recommendation? :D

so many good books.... but i think i'd have to pick George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series that i only found last year, and enjoyed thoroughly! the last one, A Feast for Crows did not satisfy my need to have more of this story.

seems a shame most of you either don't like Anne Rice, or haven't read any of her books and are content to take someone else's negative opinion as your own.. i found her books highly enjoyable, and i would say Witching Hour, indeed the whole Mayfair Witches series, to be some of her best...

how sad that sounds....... i have been married for 13 years now, i married a wonderful young man, almost half my age at the time, and we have been blissfully content with each other ever since. we have never had a fight, take all as it comes, and support each other through whatever life...

marvellous what one can find with google... http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/a/james-axler/

if you really have to read a Heinlein.. go for Starship Troopers.. my old favourite of his was Podkayne of Mars.. he's a bit dated.

your 'few thoughts' have me thinking here.. there's some good discussion points i would thank you for as well... (taking notes here) i spose too, as you said, Australia did have a lot in common with America in the earlier days.. i did think of the Polish family that lived in my street as...

and me... i read purely for entertainment these days, in the past i occasionaly read for information - the closest i come to that now is reading the odd historical...

a new series? he's gotta be kidding! after i've collected 11 books over what, 16 years!! (mumbles under breath about the unfairness of it all.....)

thankyou for the links.. i loved the courthouse story too.. :) i have read My Antonia now, and my little group will be discussing this book next month.. i am going to have to dig deep for discussion material i think! altho, to be fair, it's just not my usual style of reading material, and...

typical. i asked the question in another thread a week or two ago - will WOT (and Terry Goodkind's SOT) be completed before they die.. and now this. i know, sounds bad to be more concerned about the books than the author, but i've been collecting these books since his first in...

i'm afraid the time to have babies has passed me by, and i feel no regrets at what might have been.. i've always put a lot of distance between me and those little things! lol... give me a sick computer tho, and i'll be as concerned as any mother could be with a sick baby.. :D

babies! yuck.. the very thought fills me with horror..... :eek:
