Just finished the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. Interesting twists, and a conclusion that's both good and a let-down at the same time.

Sorry Bungleau, i just got bored.

Anyway, im back to readin good ole' Salvatore. The Hunter's Blades Trilogy is actually really good, and i need something to fill my time until next fall when the last Wheel Of Time book comes out, not that those three will take me that long, but its always good to re read a series when you run out of books.

Anyone ever hear of a character named Vlad Taltos? Author Steven Brust?

Maybe a little more adolescent, but Skulduggery Pleasant is pretty good. Can't remember the author, though.

Namely Bridget and All of the Forsaken especially Rands personal bard. Very interesting that. I an wondering what happens if anyone finds out who he really is. My first guess would be they would want to kill him leading to an intense moment but they most likely don't and would he betray Rand. My guess is, no at least not until the darkone and everyone of the forsaken has been taken care of.
Perrin is going to have quite a lot of adventures, but sometimes he's got lots of chapters, and sometimes he barely has any... I really liked the characters introduced in the later books too, like Bridget. She's one of my favorite characters.

About the bard; you're in for one long mystery. :p

How would you rate the middle of the series, compared to the beginning?

When I get a chance to sit down a read nowadays, I knock back one of the Doctor Who novels. They come from a variety of authors, so the quality varies quite a bit, but overall, I enjoy them.

They are in small hardback form and clock in around 250 pages, so I can easily read one in an evening. That's a good thing when you're trying to get a dissertation written...
