    Classic Literature

    Hmm not really sure how to gauge my reading abilities, but I’d say I’m fairly competent. If you just list what you've really enjoyed, ill do a little research and test the waters. If it did prove a little daunting, id love something to aspire to. And thanks for all the replies so far guys!

    Robin Hobb

    Haha fair call. I think Raymond E. Feist has the worst track record though, what the hell was he thinking when he named his main character 'Pug'?

    Personal freedom. What is it?

    Haha I like this one. Don't forget that this social order keeps everything exactly that, in order. Society congregates as a means of moving fluently, we follow societies rules and behaviours as a way of benefiting ourselves. I guess in this way I’m a bit of a functionalist. I haven't read any of...

    Robin Hobb

    Yeah I agree saliotthomas, she's easily my favourite fantasy writer. I love the emphasis she places on her characters, such detail. No authors have drawn me into their characters in the same manner.

    Classic Literature

    Robin Hobb

    I've also read the first two books of the Liveship Traders, and thought they were pretty excellent. If Robin Hobb could actually incite interest in me towards boats, i thought her other novels must be good, they're what inspired me to move onto the Farseer Trilogy. I'm yet to read the last...

    Can we create our own reality?

    Evil and good? I'm not sure about these terms, to me at least, they seem kind of irrelevant and perhaps a little outdated. I don’t believe in a greater power that motivates people to behave in the way that they do, human behaviour is a direct result of your own choice. In my belief there are no...

    Robin Hobb

    I recently finished reading Robin Hobb's 'The Farseer Trilogy', and thought it was great. Im thinking about moving onto 'The Tawny Man' series in the near future. Anyone read either of these?

    Can we create our own reality?

    What a great parable. I think it would be a little far fetched to suggest that we create our own reality, though i do believe that our mindset can heavily influence our lives. Gilgamesh used the example of Willy Loman in the Death of a Salesman. His refusal to face the truth of his situation...
