Hi all,
I recently read the Scarlet Pimpernel and was extremely disappointed by the lack of swashbuckling in the story, although I thought the general premise and the misunderstanding between Marguerite and Percy were very interesting. I was wondering if there's a book out there that perhaps...
Hi all,
I'm attempting to figure out myself how to describe what I want to read now. Some historical adventure novels along the lines of Dumas, Scott, etc...set in the middle ages...basically, right now I'm very into Chaucer, Malory's Morte d'Arthur, and the film A Knight's Tale, and I'd like...
Hi all,
Could any of you recommend me some good "space opera" books that do not involve a war between humans and aliens? I'm thinking of something more along the lines of star wars - an epic conflict in which the enemy is (or was) human.
Thanks in advance!
James Joyce's novel Ulysses is famous for his miniscule details on the everyday life of the members of a variety of social classes in Ireland in 1904. My question is, does anyone know of a similar modern novel, that reconstructs modern day everyday life to such an extent?
Thanks in advance...
Hi all-
There are two quotes that I'm looking for from Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver. I remember reading them, but can't find them. Can anyone tell me where in the book they are? There was one quote about rosy fingered dawn clawing her way through a grimy window and also one about the French...
I'm almost positive it's from a Douglass Adams book, I just can't remember which one. Help!
"Save the whales. They may come in handy when we run out of oil."
THanks in advance!!
I'm quite surprised there isn't a thread about this yet. I"m about halfway through this book and really intrigued - can't wait to finish it and start the other two! I admit, for the first 200 pages or so, it was slow going, with some interesting moments but a lot I had to drudge through. But...
I realize that I started a similar thread some time ago, but then I discovered quite a stash of books I'd forgotten to mention, so here's a nice clean thread of the entire list of signed books that I"m willing to sell. They're all in perfect condition, and I'll sell them for the list price of...
Having recently finished the latest Artemis Fowl, I am looking for similar books, basically ones with a genius as the main character. Not necessary evil or criminal, but books such as Artemis Fowl, or Catherine Jinks' "Evil Genius."
I've heard that Ender's Game is a similar book, so I will...
So, I recently went to see Prince Caspian(Narnia) and remembered my childhood days of voraciously reading fantasy. Any suggestios for good children's/teen fantasy? things like Narnia, Harry Potter, the Bartimaeus Trilogy, his Dark Materials...basically, great fantasy that is somehow related to...
Hi all,
I have some autographed books that I'm not really interested in keeping, because I'm not much into the authors. I'm willing to sell them for the list price of the book(the books are all in perfect new condition). If anyone is interested, let me know by e-mail(artemisfowlIII@gmail.com)...
I realize there's quite a lot of threads about sites online where you can catalogue your books, etc...but I don't really want to dig through all those threads, as I just have a straightforward question: I need a site(or program) to catalogue all my books pertaining to a certain theme..i.e. I...
I'm really interested in the three musketeers, so I recently checked a book out from the library titled Not Exactly the Three Musketeers by Joel Rosenberg. It's the 10th in the series though, or something like that. Do you think i'll understand what's going on?
thanks in advance!!

Hi all,
I've decided to read the complete tales of the thousand and one nights - or as complete as they can be, considering it was just stories collected and then translated. I'm looking for a good complete version of the Burton translation. Can anyone recommend one to me? (i.e. publisher...
Recently, I've been watching a lot of movies with Erroly Flynn - pirate movies. And then I saw The Pirate's Daughter at Borders, which is sort of about Errol Flynn. Have any of you read it, and what are your recommendations? Should I bother?
Thanks in advance!
I'll be going to Greece in a few months, and as I like to read books that take place where I'm going, does anyone have any suggestions for books that take place in Greece? I know one by Alexandre Dumas(in fact, he writes so much about various countries that I almost use him as a tour guide)...
Can anyone suggest a good biography of Napoleon? A political biography, I suppose, but that includes lots of information about his non political life as well.
I've been in a sort of reader's block lately-I honestly don't know what to read. What I'm looking for is some really captivating story, with adventure, mystery, good characters, and preferably historical. Something that's reminiscent of 19th century Romanticist literature, such as the Three...
I recently read his Le Menteur, and since then he has become one of my favorite authors. I find him more interesting and amusing than moliere, and he makes you think more. Anyone else share my enthusiasm?
Also, a question: I know he wrote plays and a treatise, but I've heard that he also...
I've recently started doing some research and I've come accross quite a few old and out of print and simply rare or unfindable books that I need. Some I've been able to find after a lot of searching and a site called usedbooksearch.com. However, a few of the books I have no one of hunting down...
