Read any good books lately?

Mojo · 02-04-2003, 06:26 PM

Umm...Basically just the question in the subject line...

Also, do you have any favorite authors/genres/books? I personally like Terry Pratchett and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles at the moment. I also very much enjoyed David (and Leigh) Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon (as I'm sure Sir Mandorallen will agree).

What about you?

Actually, I'm enjoying Randall Collins's "Three Sociological Traditions" these days, and I just finished Chris Matthew's "Amercian" recently. I'll tell you about those, but only on another forum.

well currently i'm reading, or at least attempting to in between homework the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. Its basicly the age of sail again in space with an intersteller war. Its good if your into the science fiction.

I, not too long ago, read a very god set by a Jasper Fforde.
The first two are out, the third should be out sometime this year, they are called (respectively) "The Eyre Affair," and "Lost in a Good Book."
Very humorous, rather odd and eccentric style, and definitely worth the read. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rhapsody: Child of Blood
Prophecy: Child of Earth
Destiny: Child of the sky

that series is one of the BEST ever written.

Though more on topic, currently reading some Pratchett novels. Still have to go to the library one of these days, though. One could only take a certain dose of Pratchett in a small period of time.

I just finished reading The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. And am currently reading some fluff before I start another real book, which will probably be Sarum, which my dad gave me for Christmas.

And um *cough*. Alex? Sweetie? New sig?
