That's Super news....but feel a bit selfish that I'm delighted over that, wish he was around to write a whole heap more trilogies. |

Yes Read Tad Williams 1 2 & 3 also read his Otherland Saga...a bit patchy in places but when it was good it was fabulous.

Firstly how I have managed to not see this post till now? I devour books, fiction, non fiction, historic novels, read my first graphic novel recently and loved it! Basically I will read anything. Yep, read them several times Finno and really enjoyed them. first time I read them I borrowed Bruns copies - thanks Mel! I have my own copies now. Anyone read his Otherland series? i found them hard going very different to MS and T, but I did enjoy it. I see he has a new epic series out. Would really recommed Marge Piercy - Gone to Soldiers and Ursula Heigi - Stones from the River, both with a WWII setting, brilliantly written and gripping stories. Have loads of non fiction in the bookcase to read, never seem to get near them these days though. Robert Fisk is there as is Diarmaid Ferriter, "The Transformation of Ireland" and Frank McDonald "Chaos at the Crossroads". Must get to them. I enjoyed Wally Lamb. If you like him try Richard Russo - Empire Falls and Straight Man. Could go on and on but there's still work here to be done! Happy Reading and lets hope Santa brings lots of books next week. |

Anyone read any Robin Hobb (Farseer Trilogy & Liveship traders) if not highly recommend to anyone interested in Fantasy. Read the two Farseer trilogy's backto back when the second set came out. Pure Magic! |

Damn I will just hate to miss that brawl!!!! that just might finish this website for good! I suggest you drink quite a few before the debate and when your good and drunk then start into it!!!!! you know at that point when you clearly know your perfect and right in every way. |

I hate to disapoint you but there will be no brawl! There will be a mature discussion as why Rolo is wrong or where he has an "accident" as he leaves the premises with a fatwa ringing in his ears!

One of the books I most remember from my days of my early teens and that had a great impact on me is called "Where The Red Fern Grows". Don't know who the author was but you will find it on Amazon. Get it for your kids, it's a fantastic story and heartwarming and heartbreaking, covers every emotion really. And of course read it yourself, or better still read it to them at night. ooh and who can forget "To Kill A Mockingbird ".. need i say more! |

Ah- I apologise for using it. The original joke where I heard it was about Bush, so it was used in its proper context. |
