I am on the 3rd Spud book - Learning to Fly. Must admit they are not epic but very enjoyable none the less

Re: Reader's Corner
Wahahaha... my mom and sister bought me a series of books which I desperately want to read but they did it just when I finished the first book in a series of about 9 books. I am not one to ditch the series I am busy with so I will probably only get to it in April... or there about.

I didn't read the Vampire Chronicles, but I did read Memnoch the Devil. Very good book.

Re: Reader's Corner
As long as you only read the first book in the Dune series you are excused. The other 3 books in the Dune series is just a waste.

Re: Reader's Corner
Ye reading about the mental conditioning of a woman trapped in the body of a 9 year old is nothing new to our imaginations. I actually pity Claudia....

Re: Reader's Corner
Well Tribbs dearest... my reading has slowed down considerably since I have all kinds of other activities starting up at the moment. But it only means that the little time I do get to read I can enjoy that much more. Been busy with this one book for almost a month already because I just don't get the time to sit down and finish it. I only have about 20% of the book to go which is not that much to be honest.

Re: Reader's Corner
Oh, Lady Tribble! The Silmarillion is a book of such beauty that you can't help but weep in both sorrow and joy as you read it for the 22nd time. The language is like music, it just takes a little getting used to.Tribble wrote:I found The Silmarillion too difficult to stay focussed on - never finished it.
I'm still stuck on the awesomeness that is Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. I'm on book 3 now and the man's epic and then some.

Re: Reader's Corner
Yay someone who enjoys Malazan actually want to read the last book but its a bit hectic at the moment
Ah and those Necromancers in 3 are rather interesting in a messed up way if you like them try getting the novels about them or the omnibus of the first 3 books about them
Now that I think about it Tribble might actually enjoy The Healthy Dead book

Then I shall pick it up and try again. I am older now - perhaps that will help.freeboy wrote:Oh, Lady Tribble!

Re: Reader's Corner
Steven King's The Dark Tower was like that. Sometimes the reading makes you feel like you need a degree for it, but the story is very much worth it.
