    Japan Trilogy...Fantasy?

    I was recently listening to my favorite podcast where someone called in about a trilogy set in old Japan. It was written in English-not translated. I can't find the podcast I was listening to and wanted to know the author and name of the first book. I think there was an extra book added on at...

    Pirates 3: At World's End

    So, has anyone here seen the latest installment of the pirate saga? I saw it a couple hours ago with some friends and I actually thought it was pretty good. I saw 'actually' because all the critics in my city gave it around 1 1/2 stars. Sure, it won't be up for an oscar (except maybe for special...

    Thread Subscription

    So, I'm getting about 15 emails a day notifying me of new replies to threads I've responded to. How do I make them stop? There MUST be an option somewhere to turn it off...maybe I just haven't looked hard enough :rolleyes: Anyway, thanks!

    Looking for an enjoyable fantasy...

    I'm looking for a good fantasy book that I can really get into and enjoy. I've been dissapointed with the books I've read lately and was wondering if any of you could recommend something that I would like. My favorite fantasy authors are George R.R. Martin, Terry Goodkind, and J.R.R. Tolkien...

    Richard Matheson

    I recently read I Am Legend for my book club and loved it! This was the first horror novel that I had really read of the genre, other than Stephen King. And I enjoyed Matheson much more. It was the first book that really scared me....usually that only happens with movies. I'm looking for some...

    Happy Halloween!

    Happy Halloween to everyone! I hope you save some good candy for yourselves. I plan to save a stash for myself before opening the door to trick-or-treaters. You didn't hear that:rolleyes: Anyone have a good costume? I'm going with my usual Frodo Baggins look. Collected almost all of it from...

    Word Association Game

    This is a fun game that was played on another forum that I visit. Here's how it goes. I say a word...say "book" and someone else would say the first word that comes to mind when they hear that word. It could be "pages" "library" or "bookshelf." Then, it just keeps going. I'll start with...

    Tolkien Picture Alphabet

    One of my best friends adopted a baby recently so I was thinking about what to get her for Christmas. I then came up with the idea of doing a Tokien picture alphabet. I'm going to make a binder and get pictures for every letter and all. Here's what I came up with for each letter. If you guys...

    Are you picky about the condition of your books?

    I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this. Myself, I am totally obcessed with having my books in perfect condition. When I buy a new book I look through all the copies the store has to make sure I get the best one. And I hate to loan my books to people for I fear that they'll...

    Can't remember...

    I was in 8th grade when I read this book about a girl with cancer. It had something with "Dance" in the title because the main character was a dancer and I know it was a young adult book. It was about this girl and her best friend as one of the girls deals with cancer. It was such a powerful...

    Philippa Gregory

    I'm ashamed to say I have not read very much historical fiction, being stuck on fantasy. When I was 14 I picked up The Other Boleyn Girl because I was in the mood for a thick book set in that time period. It was amazing to say the least and totally drew me in from the first page. I recently...

    Hi, new here...

    Hey. I just discovered that there was an introduction board so I am formally intorducing myself. This site is great. It's the best book site that I've come across. The people here are nice and very friendly. If it wasn't for work, I'd probably spend all my time on here. Oh well, I work at a used...
