Armor by Steakley

speaking soley for myself, i beleive once a forum becomes established, and draws a crowd of 'regulars', newcomers often feel intimidated by the 'regulars' and don't want to intrude.

scariest author i've ever read was HP Lovecraft

The Dragoncrown War Series by Michael Stackpole

hehehe...i couldn't decide on a top 5 in one genre much less an overall top 5

is that a pro- or anti- religiuos kind of kick he goes on? i couldn't really tell from Odd Thomas, but i can guess he would be more anti religious

Dean Koontz? I just finished "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz, I was under the impression that he was a horror writer. while this book had elements of the supernatural in it, it was by no means a horror novel. so what genre does Koontz fall into? (Don't misunderstand me. the book was a really...

ooo, i loved I, Claudius too. for those of you who like Sott's Ivanhoe, you might want to try his Quentin Durwood, if you haven't already. some others; The Jewel in the Crown, The Golden Strangers by Henry Treece ("Set in the grey, twilight world of the Stone Age, the story of a young...

whats the title of his newest one? its set in the same world as sword of truth, but follows zed and a new character instead of the normal plot lines. its also only about 100-150 pages.

Any Booth Tarkington fans in da house?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! :D (sorry its just a tad late in posting this though ;) )

was anyone else disappointed in this one from Terry Pratchett? i felt it was completely predictable, and had a very shallow, almost nonexistant plot. i must say, this is the first time i have felt let down after reading one of Terry's books.

well, i just finished his DragonCrown War Cycle, which begins with The Dark Glory War, and ends with The Grand Crusade. it was, for the most part, a pretty good read. others i have read from him include Talion:Revenant and Silvereyes. I REALLY enjoyed Talion:Revenant

Are there any other fans of his out there?

Sword of Shannara is a pretty blatant ripoff of LotR, but the rest is not. As far as the question about whether to read the rest of the series, each is a different set. By that i mean that Brooks the different series in completely different times from the others, close enough that there is some...

i was speaking of how badly Sci-Fi Network has hacked up others stories. most notably Phillip Jose Farmer's Riverworld. Their re-make of Battlestar Galactica sucked a big load of hooey too.

it hasn't been aired yet. sometime this month i think is its premier.
