Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Books are bad M'kay!! lol.
I am not big on reading.. but boy do I love the movies so much.. ** Having Alan Rickman in them helped that I am sure **
I have now finished reading the first book, and started the second..
I must say that so far I think the movies have done well, but I do think that they left out some sections that would have made the movies tie together better..
Due to people assuming everyone read the last book asap, I have found out a few people who die and such.. not so happy that I know that.. but.. alas.. what can ya do. *sigh*

You do all know that it's been reported here in the UK that JK Rowling is reported to have not ruled out another instalment?
I'll see if I can rustle up a link.

Ive never heard of the books youre reading though, but im always looking for more! Currently im taking my sweet ole time to read the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. ( theres probably 9 or more books *probably more...*, so ive got a long ways to go....)  Books are a GOOD thing! |
The Wheel of Time Series is 12 books long, with the 12th having not been published or maybe even not written yet with Jordan being ill. (yes I have all 11 in hardback)
Anyone try the Belgariad series form David Eddings, original is 5 books with another 5 book series that follows. The original is great.
Just bought the Harry Potters, I am actually trying to complete a set of 1st Editions. Really want a 1st editon UK
And yes books are good, movies of books are good but just dont have the same impact.

Thank you! i was not 100% sure, and really too lazy to google.
Its a great series so far though, and i really do enjoy it! I have heard of the Series you speak about, but have not read it or seen it to my knowledge. Ill have to find a few more books to keep me entertained, as harry potter is no more ( for the time being)
Im in the middle of too many series... its just, waiting on new books to get published that SUCKS!

For me, picking up The Wheel of Time series was the written equivalent of taking up smoking crack.
I'm reading it (yet)again right now. Can't wait for book 12, or could it be that RJ is throwing us a red herring & there will really be 13 books???
I hope RJ makes it thru OK though.
I mean, it would really suck if he pulled a Chaucer on us.
Another great series I just finished that borders somewhat on fantasy is The Baroque Cycle by Neil Stephenson. It's really a historical fantasy pirate adventure love kinda story, but it had me hooked.

The Bellgariad, Mallorean, etc are quite good. I'm also a big RJ fan and am scrounging up all the leather editions.
My second current fav for continuing series is the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind now on book 11 with one more left. After that I'd go with Raymond Feist and his Riftwar/Serpentwar, etc based series.

I LOVE the wheel of time series and the Jean M Auel clan of the cave bear series! I also read the Harry Potter books and It had an pretty ending. I think it really left a door wide open if she (JK) wanted to continue on with a new installment. But if not the ending was fine for me.
My boyfriend is a very smart and mechanically inclined person he just cant picture the story in his head when he reads so he doesn't enjoy books. So I read Harry Potter to him and our daughter aloud. As a family we are currently on book 4. Its really funny every time we travel anywhere in the car I am to read to them, we also sometimes get some reading done in the evenings as well. Its so funny how much they are both into the series.
I really enjoy Clive Barker as well. If you can get your hands on Imajica that is a great book.
Sorry for the long post I could talk all night about books.

I LOVE David Eddings!
That series didn't let me down at all...
I read it again, by the way. I still feel that something is missing, and that it could have been written a bit better, but I did enjoy it again.
I didn't like the ending, postscript. Seemed unnecessary, and the characters were hard to follow.
Other than that, first rate!

Alan also making a note to myself to purchase those. One other I have also started about two years ago is George R. R. Martin "A Game of Thrones" this started for me as a used yardsale paperback to book 4 being Hardback on date of issue, thankfully only supposed to be 5 in the series. Its not quite as good as Jordan or Eddings (my opinion) but good read. Any other series suggestions, I like to read even over TV so the more books the better.
Heather yes I think Eddings gets a little overboard, sometimes I think he was setting up all the extras that have come from the series(and yes I did buy them too). Oh well, when I learn to write maybe I can actually have a book or series.....wait is that a pig flying.....
