[Fugitive1992]

I'm reading TTT. Frist time. i'm enjoying it alot. Aragon didn't fall off a cliff! yay. and i'm also reading in In the Forests of the Night by Amilia Atwater-Rhodes. so far so good

Well, there's no post on this page yet to say that I'm still reading Atlas Shrugged, so I'll say that I've struggled on to around 2/3 of it finished. I've discovered that Ayn Rand based many of her ideals on Nietzche and that Anton Levey was influenced by it, neither of which endeared me to finishing the book at all. I haven't been reading much in a while; I need to plan a library trip soon.

Paladins was a disappointment.

Nice question to put to me right now.

I AM reading Moby **** by Herman Melville, but that one I keep at my girlfriend's place, just to be sure there's always something I wish to read there. Yet she just finished one of Raymond E. Feist's books (Mistress of an Empire if I'm not mistaken, it's in dutch, so I'm translating here) and I like those as well. I'm not allowed to read any until she's finished with them though, because she hates it when I read faster then her in the same book. So no doubt I will start in that one soon.

At home I'm still trying to start in The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond (I got that one for my birthday) and I was re-reading some discworld novel's by Terry Pratchett. In the second hand bookshop, I promised myself to stay away from for the next couple of months and failed, I bumped into an english translation of Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. I did start in that one.

I SHOULD be reading books and handouts for school. Especially now, instead of spending time at TTF.

Haha, you're reading Moby ****. Has society gone mad? Can't even post a perfectly innocent word when used in the right context!

I'm reading Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell just now.

 

[Arat Macar]

I am reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon as well as Dan Brown and Caleb Carr

I'm reading Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell just now.

That's a quality book. Want to know how it ends?

I've done with Atlas Shrugged. It was pants. Don't read it. I'm now reading some sort of short story anthology.

 

[Wolfshead]

That's a quality book. Want to know how it ends?

Um, no. Oddly enough

 

[Hammersmith]

Um, no. Oddly enough

I was kidding
Have you read much of Cornwell's other work?

 

[Wolfshead]

I know

I've read a lot of the Sharpe books, all the Grail Quest, and the first two of the Warlord Chronicles. Oh, and I've got a signed copy of Gallows Thief. So, quite a lot - I'm quite a big fan Yourself?

 

[Arthur_Vandelay]

I was introduced to the Harry Potter series just last week. I have just finished The Prisoner of Azkaban, and am waiting to secure The Goblet of Fire from my friend, who has the entire series. So, in the interim, I'm working my way through Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

Have you been living under a rock for the last 8 years then? How'd you manage to avoid them?

Re-reading The Iliad and looking for other recommendations...

 

[Wraithguard]

I recommend you compliment the Illiad with the Argonauts.

 

[Barliman Butterbur]

Just began my umpteenth round of LOTR: Bilbo has just left the Shire for Rivendell, and Gandalf is scaring the stuffing out of Frodo by telling him what the Ring really is.

You should have put a spoiler warning there, Barley. There might be people here who haven't read it yet

Ah, so you're an expert then
I'd definitely read Excalibur (is that the third Warlord Chronicle?) - the last is the best in the series. I'm not huge on the Sharpe books, but I've read a few and I watched the series on television religiously. Besides that, I read and enjoyed the Gallow Thief, the Warlords, Stonehenge and the Grail Quests. Excellent author, that man!

 

[Wolfshead]

I don't know why I haven't read Excalibur yet. I even have it on my shelves! I'll get round to it eventually... I've seen some of the Sharpe films as well. They're good too. It'd be interesting, I think, if they were to make more now with a big Hollywood budget. Obviously not with Sean Bean, though - he's too old.

Oh, and I almost forgot, he's got a newish book called The Last Kingdom set in Saxon England. Forgot to read that too, even though my dad has it. Oh well, plenty of time yet

 

[Firawyn]

Has anyone read Sabriel, Lariel, and Abhorsan by Garth Nix??


Awesome books. Highly recomend them. It's a great trilogy.
